Save to File option error

We are currently working on migrating OpenPages+Cognos from traditional VM to CP4D and see that one of the feature is having issues and details given below:

When we execute a report and trying the save the report output to a file system (Save to File option), we are getting error "The archive location file system root is invalid or cannot be found. The archive location file system root in Cognos configuration is :''" and tried to finding the configuration to set the file system location and did not find the any properties to set. Also, no option prompted while creating an instance. 

We need to this feature as we are using this for all our batch jobs (downstream systems) to save the file and transfer the data.
