To Shorten the Names of the Customization Folders

In MYOB Advanced, the names of the Validation and Website customization folders start with the name of the application instance website. For example, a path to the Website folder of the InstanceName instance may be as follows.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Acumatica ERP\Customization\InstanceName\
InstanceNameValidation\InstanceNameWebsite

Because the Customization folder includes the folder with the instance name, you can configure the system to shorten the names of the Validation and Website folders by excluding the <instance_name> prefix, that is, the name of the application instance website. The paths to the Validation and Website folders remain unique.

CAUTION: Make sure that all users of your website are warned about the site restart so that they can save all documents.
  1. Open the web.config file for the site instance. Usually it is located in %Program Files%\MYOB Advanced\<instance_name>, where <instance_name> is the name of the application instance website.
  2. In the appSettings section of the web.config file, add the following sections.
    <add key="CstSolutionName" value="SolutionDev"/>
<add key="CstWebsiteName" value="Dev"/>
  3. Save the web.config file, which causes the website to automatically restart.
