File Writes in DAI

Hello,

What path (by default) does DAI write to when saving movies or screen captures where a path has not been included in the code? To me, it appears as if it tries to write to the machine where I have functional installed.

I use a separate logon for my SUT so I would expect it to write to SUTUsername\Users\Documents but it seems to still want to write to the location where functional is installed. Even if I explicitly try to include the path for my SUT, I get an error saying something to the effect of location doesn’t exist. I have permissions in that path and I am assuming if it were a permissions issue that I would receive a different error message.

Is there a support document that outlines this process?

Thanks

DAI always considers the machine where the corresponding run agent is running.

You can always use the temp or special folders to write something:

DAI typically saves captures to the Functional Agent’s local execution host by default. Ensure the target path exists on the Agent machine itself, as relative SUT paths won’t resolve.
