The default directory for Store and Forward files is %SITE_ROOT%\arc, and the default number of records per file is 100. You can change both of these defaults.
Important: Please consider carefully when
changing the maximum number of records per stored file. Setting too
high a number will result in unmanageable files, while setting too
low a number will cause excessive disk I/O.
Click Tools>Command Prompt on the Workbench menu bar.
