Problem Description
The multi-user installation currently appends HCL\Notes\Data to the path specified through MULTIUSERBASEDIR.
For example, when:
MULTIUSERBASEDIR=P:\Notes
is specified, the resulting Data directory becomes:
P:\Notes\HCL\Notes\Data
There is currently no option to use the specified path exactly as the Notes Data directory.
Requested Enhancement
Provide an option to independently specify the Notes program directory and Notes Data directory during multi-user installation/configuration.
The enhancement should allow administrators to specify a complete Data directory path, including a mapped or shared network location, without automatically appending HCL\Notes\Data.
For example:
MULTIUSERBASEDIR=P:\Notes
should allow P:\Notes to be used directly as the Notes Data directory.
Business Impact
The current behavior limits deployment flexibility for environments that require a predefined custom or shared Notes Data location and may require changes to existing deployment architectures.
Enhancement Justification
Providing support for a fully customizable Notes Data directory would improve deployment flexibility and maintain compatibility with environments where the Notes program and Data directories need to be located independently.
