Setting Workspace Using the -data Parameter

Each instance of the Developer Studio is assigned to exactly one workspace using the respective path name. The workspace serves as a local storage area for your project information and for certain user-specific settings.

When you want to use a specific workspace without changing the default workspace, you have to specify the  -data argument with workspace path as a value in the command line.

Proceed as follows:

1. Click the corresponding desktop shortcut using the right mouse button and subsequently choose Properties from the context menu.
2. Choose the Shortcut tab.
3. Under Target, add or modify the argument -data <my_workspace_location> to the command line, or modify the location when the-data argument already exists.

   ...\SapNetWeaverDeveloperStudio.exe -data "C:\NWDS\MyWorkspace" ...

4. Choose OK to confirm.
