Managing NICE DCV Session storage

Session storage is a directory on the NICE DCV server that clients can access when they are connected to a NICE DCV session.

If session storage is enabled on the NICE DCV server, you can use the dcv set-storage-root command to specify the directory on the server to be used for session storage. For more information about enabling session storage on the NICE DCV server, see Enabling session storage.

To set the session storage path, use the dcv set-storage-root command and specify the session ID and the path to the directory to use.

Syntax

dcv set-storage-root --session session_id /path_to/directory

For the directory path, you can use %home% to specify the home directory of the user who is currently signed in. For example, the %home%/storage/ path resolves to c:\Users\username\storage\ on Windows servers. It resolves to $HOME/storage/ on Linux servers.
