On a related note: does anyone use multiple data directories for 1 model ? We can specify multiple folders in the crg file but I have never been a fan of it.

There was a very interesting idea in tm1forum (I couldn't find the thread) to separate DATA to 2 folders: CODE (.rux and .pro files) and DATA (other files); and commit changes in CODE folder to git or any other "put your favorite version control system".

Or any other way that is consistent. Since you can easily get the Logging directory path using GetProcessErrorFileDirectory, it is easy to construct a formula that will return the Data directory, no matter what the environment. Something along these lines:

Code: Select all

sLogDirName = 'Logging\';
sDataDirName = 'Data\';
sLogDirPath = GetProcessErrorFileDirectory;
sDataDirPath = DELET (sLogDirPath, SCAN (sLogDirName, sLogDirPath), LONG (sLogDirName)) | sDataDirName;
