IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server installation information
The File Management root folder must be shared so that it is accessible by other machines. If
you choose a folder on your current machine, the installation procedure will create the share for
you. If you choose a folder with a UNC pathname (that is, one that starts \\machine_name\...) this
will be used as the shared folder. Click

.
Note:
You can create the File Management root folder on any machine as long as its share is
visible to all machines running the Interviewing and Scriptwriter Services. The ideal location is
a separate machine that acts as a
fi
le server rather than a machine running the Interviewing or
Accessories service. This is because the File Management root folder is an integral part of most
Interviewer Server Administration and Interviewer Server functionality, and needs to be available
all the time that Interviewer Server Administration is running. You will need to manually share
the speci
fi
ed UNC directory:
1. Navigate to and select the speci
fi
ed UNC directory.
2. Right-click the directory and select
Properties
, then select the
Sharing
tab.
3. Select
Share this folder
and enter
SPSSMR_FMROOT
in the
Share name
fi
eld.
4. Click
Permissions
and select
Full control
for the
Everyone
group.
5. Click
OK
to save your changes.
6. Select the
Security
tab, add the Interviewer Server group (only if it is not already present), and
select
Full control
for the
Interviewer Server
group.
7. Click
OK
to save your changes.
If you install it on a machine that is running the Interviewing or Accessories service and you
need to restart that machine, Interviewer Server Administration becomes effectively unusable by
anyone on any other machine until the service machine has restarted.
Updating the registry after moving FMROOT
If you change the location of the FMROOT in DPM Explorer post installation, you must also
update the associated registry entries to match the DPM Explorer values. If the environment is a
cluster environment, you must update the registry entries on all clustered accessory servers, IBM®
SPSS® Data Collection Survey Tabulation servers and IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey
Reporter servers. The mapping of DPM properties and registry entries is as follows:
DPM Property
Registry Entry
FileMgt_RootFolderLocalPath
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SPSS\DimensionNet \
InstallOptions\FMRoot_Local
and
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\mrInterview \3
\InstallOptions\FMRoot_Local
FileMgt_RootFolderUNC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SPSS\DimensionNet \InstallOptions
\FMRoot_UNC
and
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\mrInterview\3
\InstallOptions\FMRoot_UNC
