workitemindex (directory) - where is it on Windows platform?

RTC 101 upgrade guide tells users to backup the directory - workitemindex (directory).

Could you please describe how to find the directory? Thanks.

I have a few RTC instances of (vanilla v1.0). None of them contains this directory. I have an very old instance of 1.0 RC5 and that instance has the folder.

Could you please explain when the folder is created? Thanks.

The directory of the full text index is written to the log file on
server startup. If it isn't explicitly configured in
teamserver.properties (which it should), the default location on
Windows is the temp directory.

Thanks, Patrick.

I checked two RTC servers (Windows 2003 servers) and found the workitemindex folder under C:\WINDOWS\system32\. It seems that this is the default location, which is not written in the log file - the log file just states "workitemindex" without path.

I manually updated the teamserver.properties file for the workitemindex location as shown below. However, after restating RTC server, I do not see this folder created. Any comments? Thanks.

If the folder is empty, you have to either run a fulltext query or save a work item to make the folder be created. Could you try?
