Note: You can create the File Management root folder on any machine as long as its share is
visible to all machines running the Interviewing and Scriptwriter Services. The ideal location is
a separate machine that acts as a file server rather than a machine running the Interviewing or
Accessories service. This is because the File Management root folder is an integral part of most
Interviewer Server Administration and Interviewer Server functionality, and needs to be available
all the time that Interviewer Server Administration is running. You will need to manually share
the specified UNC directory:
1. Navigate to and select the specified UNC directory.
2. Right-click the directory and select
3. Select

4. Click

6. Select the

select

7. Click to save your changes.
OK
If you install it on a machine that is running the Interviewing or Accessories service and you
need to restart that machine, Interviewer Server Administration becomes effectively unusable by
anyone on any other machine until the service machine has restarted.
Updating the registry after moving FMROOT
If you change the location of the FMROOT in DPM Explorer post installation, you must also
update the associated registry entries to match the DPM Explorer values. If the environment is a
cluster environment, you must update the registry entries on all clustered accessory servers, IBM®
SPSS® Data Collection Survey Tabulation servers and IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey
Reporter servers. The mapping of DPM properties and registry entries is as follows:
DPM Property
FileMgt_RootFolderLocalPath
FileMgt_RootFolderUNC
The Choose the location of Interviewer Server Project and Source files page allows
E
you to specify the folder that you want to create for storing the project and source files
that the Interview Services use for running interviews. When a scriptwriter activates a
project, the activation program copies the questionnaire file and the templates into the
