Understanding the AppData Directory

Software Risk Manager needs a place to store a variety of files, such as the analysis inputs it receives that the source code that it uses to display in the Finding Details page, log files, and configuration files. These files are placed in the Software Risk Manager appdata directory. This directory also contains important information from the ongoing Software Risk Manager usage activity; therefore, it is recommended that this directory be in a stable location that is periodically backed up.

The location of the appdata directory is set during installation. By default, the appdata directory is located in the following locations:

• For Windows: C:\ProgramData\Software Risk Manager\codedx_appdata\
• For Linux (installed as root): /var/opt/srm/
• For Linux (installed as non-root: /home/srm_data/codedx_appdata/
• For Docker: /opt/codedx/
