In Analyze it is recommended that the data-7731/executions folder be kept in a separate location to the other folders under data-7731 to ensure Analyze performance is optimized. For more information see this article storage considerations
Linux is made up of a Logical File System and a Disk Infrastructure, per the screenshot below. The File System can't see the Disk Infrastructure unless it's mounted.
Analyze only sees the directory structure on a Linux or Windows server. It does not see local or external disks.
PRE-REQUISITE STEPS:
** It is recommend that you take a Linux system level backup before mounting a disk
** Ensure the permissions on the new mount point are the same as those on the existing executions folder - else the Analyze user (and hence the Analyze software) won't be able to perform read, write or execute operations on the new mount point
** You'll need to make the new disk configuration permanent so that following a Linux system reboot the new disk/volume is automatically mounted (i.e. include the mount in the Linux system's /etc/fstab file)
STEPS TO MOUNT A DISK:
2. mount the disk/volume that will be used to store the Analyze temp (executions) data on some temporary mount point, as the current Executions folder must be empty before you can mount a disk into it
3. move the contents of data-7731/executions folder to the mount point created in step 2
4. unmount the temp executions disk/volume
5. mount new disk/volume as the the data-7731/executions folder
6. bring the Analyze system back up

Hi!
We are in a windows environment and I don't understand what I need to do to change the location for the exec folder ?
Is it enough to update the following line in site.prop and then restart services?
ls.brain.tempDir="D:/Data3SixtyAnalyze/Data3SixtyAnalyze/data-7721/executions"
Hi Sebastien,
Please see this article, https://support.infogix.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500000311502-Data360-Analyze-how-to-store-executions-data-on-another-disk-on-Windows-Server.
After mounting the disk, you'll just need to add the ls.brain.tempDir property and the path to cust.prop and restart Analyze.
