The JCIReporting database for Metasys UI is used for the custom trend viewer and resides on the ADS/ADX/OAS within the SQL Server Software database. The folder location of the database files that store trend data is selected during the Metasys server installation. The default directory location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL<version>.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA (Release 8.0 or later).
Note: The installation program places the Metasys UI Reporting repository on the
same computer where the ADX software resides. For a split ADX, the directory location is
on the database server on the same drive where the SQL Server software is installed. If
you want to change where the databases are loaded (for example,
E:\MyDatabases), you need to do so before you install
the ADS/ADX/OAS software. For details, refer to the Custom Locations for Metasys
Server Application and Databases section in the
Metasys Server Installation and Upgrade Guide (LIT-12012162)
