Every Abacus installation sets up a designated network share location called the Abacus datapath, where the system creates several folders essential for smooth operation.
These folders include:
The Licence folder, which holds temporary lock files (*.LOC) to manage user access.
Folders for creditor and debtor interface file extracts.
Data import/export folders.
Reporting folders.
A folder for user-defined Word documents.
All Abacus users need full read and write permissions to these datapath folders to ensure the system works properly.
You can find the datapath location in a few ways:
Visual reference: It's shown at the bottom of the main Abacus A4W screen.
Database query: It's stored in the SystemInfo table under the Datapath field.
SQL command to retrieve datapath:
SELECT Datapath FROM SystemInfo
