Dynamically updating files in activities' web application folders
Sometimes an activity needs to upload files into its Web application folder (C:\InetPub\wwwroot\SPSSMR\ActivityName) or to create or modify files in that folder. Do not do this directly, as it will cause IIS to restart the services, which may have an adverse effect on any interviews that are running. Instead, use a temporary folder whose name is based on the pathname stored in the registry in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\DimensionNet\DimensionsUploadPath
The default value for this key is:
C:\InetPub\wwwroot\SPSSMR\Temp.
The temporary folder that you create should have a name of the form:
DimensionsUploadPath\UserName\ActivityName\SessionID
For example:
DimensionsUploadPath\ben\MyActivity\ab12345xyz
Always delete the temporary folder when you have finished with it.
