These preferences determine the location and configure the cleanup mechanism for Switch's application data.
Switch stores quite a bit of application-specific data, including for example:
flow definitions (defined or imported with the flow designer)
auto-managed backing folders (and their contents, i.e. jobs being processed through flows)
internal job tickets pointing to jobs being processed
log messages
All of this data is stored in a nested folder hierarchy under a single root folder, which is called the application data root.
The default location of the application data root is system dependent.
For example, on a typical Windows system the default location might be:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Enfocus\PowerSwitch Server or C:\ProgramData\Enfocus\PowerSwitch Server (Vista, Windows 7)
And on a typical Mac OS X system the default location might be:
/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/PowerSwitch Server
You can move the application data to another location by changing the value of the first preference in this group.
Some temporary application data cannot be removed automatically during regular operation. To ensure that the amount of data does not grow indefinitely, Switch performs a cleanup process at regular intervals.
