Root Path

The default root path for any other BimlFlex related file operations.

The path is passed into the generated SSIS batch and load packages as the RootPath variable — or the $Project::RootPath parameter under the project deployment model — so file operations in the generated packages resolve against it. It is also the design-time base folder for the lookup-cache file connections.

When to Change This Setting

Set it to a folder that exists on the server that executes the generated packages. The other BimlFlex paths conventionally sit underneath it, but each is configured separately.
