During the build process, AS needs write access to the following directories, which should be excluded from virus scanners if there are significant performance impacts on build time:
- Temporary directory of the Automation Studio project. This is by default within the project
(<project path>\temp)
but can also be placed outside the project by the user.
- Temporary directory of the user who is logged on to the Windows system:
C:\Users\ <Username> \AppData\Roaming
- Temporary directory of the user who is logged on to the Windows system:
C:\Users\ <Username> \AppData\Local\Temp
- Windows temporary directory:
C:\Windows\Temp
When using fieldbus devices and DTM devices, there is write access to the following directories:
<Project path>
C:\ProgramData\BR\AS-Version
C:\ProgramData\SYCONnet
C:\ProgramData\IO-Link\Generic IO-Link Device DTM\IO-Link DDs
