Code

1. Exit Sesame if it is running.
2. Create the folder on your computer (if it doesn’t already exist) where you want to store your Report Writer output files. For example, c:\sesame\reports.
3. In Windows Explorer or My Computer, locate your autoexec.bat file. This file is normally stored in the C: folder. Right-click on the file and select Edit from the submenu. This should display the file in Notepad.
4. Move to the end of the file and, on the first available empty line, type the following:
SET SESAME_REPORT_PATH=C:\SESAME\REPORTS
5. Replace C:\SESAME\REPORTS with the full path to the folder where you want your Report Writer output files stored. Otherwise, the line must be typed exactly as shown. Do not use quotation marks.
6. Save the file.
7. Close any open programs, then restart your computer for the change to take effect.
 

Code

For Unix based operating systems, environment variables are set based on the shell
being employed:
Examples:
ksh: export SESAME_REPORT_PATH = "/usr/local/Sesame/Reports"
tcsh: setenv SESAME_REPORT_PATH "/usr/local/Sesame/Reports"
