Modify a Location
To modify an alternate location, the Instance Explorer must be connected to the installation that contains the location you want to modify (see Connect to an Actian Database Instance). You also must have the MAINTAIN_LOCATIONS permission.
To modify a location
1. In the Instance Explorer, open the Locations folder for a connected installation, right-click the location you want to modify, and select Modify from the context menu.
The Modify Location dialog opens (see Location Dialog).
Note:  If the installation is not running, the Locations folder will be overlayed with a red exclamation piont (!).
2. Select or clear which file types the location will be used to store.
3. Click OK.
The location definition is updated.
