Software Improvement Program

[Rob_M_1]

On linux the Intel software improvement program stores its data in: {HOME}/intel/ism/rm/intelremotemondata.db

Is there anyway to change this location? Even when I opt-out, it still creates this folder everytime I compile code. Even changing the location to {HOME}/.intel would be fine. 

Not a major problem, but I wanted to see if anyone knows of a quick fix.

Thanks,

Rob

I'll ask.

It is not possible, at this time, to relocate the folder and file. If you have opted out, no data gets collected, but the database records the opt-out status. The developers ask what problem this causes for you, though I am in favor of allowing all install paths to be customized.

It's not really a problem, I just like to keep my home folder clean. Maybe you guys can change it to a hidden "dot"intel folder in the next release? Thanks for your time.

Ok - I have passed this on to the developers.

Is there any update on this issue? We have ICC 2013, soon ICC 2014 still icc and their tools create stubbornly $HOME/intel folder, which doesn't follow any known scheme.

Please use:

• $HOME/.intel (dot intel) on general UNIX
• $HOME/.config/intel for configuration, $HOME/.cache/intel for downloads and caches (XDG scheme, on Linux) http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
• $HOME/Library/Application Data/Intel for configuration and, $HOME/Library/Cache/Intel for downloads and cache (on Mac OS X), see: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/MacOSXDirectories/MacOSXDirectories.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010672-CH10-SW1
