Client file types

An installation of an iBase client application on a user's workstation includes several files that are important to the operation of the software. You must take these files into account when performing a backup.

The following list contains names and descriptions of all the types of files that might be present in a client installation.

scheduler_database_name.mdb

This file is the database that controls the imports and exports that iBase Scheduler performs. The location of this file is specified during the installation of iBase Scheduler.

CommandGroups.mdb

This file defines the set of command groups for use in security files. It is installed with iBase on each workstation, but might have been modified to define a different set of command groups.

The file is usually located in the Resources subfolder of the iBase installation folder, but iBase might have been directed to look for it in another folder.

IconList.txt

This file defines the icons that are available to iBase, and the mappings between the displayed name and the operating system file name.

The file is usually located in the Resources subfolder of the iBase installation folder, but iBase might have been directed to look for it in another folder.

WSExclude.txt, FTExclude.txt

These files define the exclusion lists for iBase's Word Search and Full-Text Search features. The files are usually located in the Resources subfolder of the iBase installation folder.

i2.wor, i2.mxd, i2.apr

These files define GIS workspaces that iBase uses. They are installed with iBase GIS Interfaces on each workstation, but might have been modified since installation.
