Description

KeepInstallDir points to the installation directory of the Domino REST API (DRAPI). The entry is set automatically by the DRAPI installer and consumed by the restapi task to locate binaries, JARs, and the keepconfig.d configuration files. Without a correct path, the task will not start.

Example configuration

KeepInstallDir=C:\Program Files\HCL\Domino\restapi

Notes & pitfalls

  • Maintained by the DRAPI installer – do not edit by hand, the next update will overwrite it anyway.
  • For manual DRAPI moves, keep the path consistent with the actual installation location.
  • Takes effect on start or reload of the restapi task (tell restapi quit / load restapi).
  • Closely related to KeepManagementURL and KeepLogConfigFile – these three parameters form the DRAPI baseline configuration in the notes.ini.
