During Office Hours one of our staff was told that there was a OOD_ROOT_PATH variable that I could set in /etc/ood/profile to move (in our case) /home/$user/ondemand to /projects/$users/ondemand as ondemand files were filling up home directories and causing various fun problems. I attempted doing it but since this seems to be an undocumented feature, I couldn’t figure out what syntax I should use for this.
I think the location you are looking to set that would be /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/env and add the environment variable in that location to have it take effect.
The syntax from what you posted I think would be:
OOD_DATAROOT=/projects/$USER/ondemand
Also, if you set this, the myjobs app will also need an /etc/ood/config/apps/myjobs/env file to point to the same location you set in the dashboard/env so that the two are looking in the same place for the data.
Also, just to be sure, make sure to set that with $USER and not $users unless that users variable is something you’ve made and are trying to use, but I’m guessing you meant the environment variable. Just wanted to make sure that was known.
