By default, only the directory inside the
Program Files folder
containing the standard resource files appears in the list, but PowerDesigner does
not allow you to save modifications there, and will propose an alternative location
if you try to do so, adding the selected directory to the list. You can add
additional directories as necessary.
Note: If
you have created or modified resource files inside
Program
Files before 16.5, when this rule was introduced, your files may
no longer be available as Windows Vista or Windows 7 actually store them in a
virtual mirror at, for example,
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner 16\Resource Files\DBMS. To restore
these files to your lists, optionally move them to a more convenient path, and
add their location to your list using the
Path
tool.
The first directory in the list is the default location, which is proposed whenever
you save a file. The root of the library belonging to your most recent repository
connection is searched recursively before the directories in the list (see
Core Features Guide > Administering PowerDesigner > Deploying an Enterprise Glossary and Library), .
Note: In rare cases, when
seeking resource files to resolve broken references in models, the directories
in the list are scanned in order, and the first matching instance of the
required resource is used.
