Installation and application data folders
When you install iBase, you can install it in the folder suggested by the installer or to a folder of your choice. Regardless of where you choose to install the product, any data that is used by the i2® application is automatically copied to the application data folder as defined by the version of Microsoft™ Windows™ that you are running. These are hidden Windows folders.
The application data folder is defined by the version of Microsoft Windows that you are running. Users also have a folder for storing files such as iBase templates. The folder can also contain shortcuts to other folders that contain per user application data.
Per machine data
Data that is specific to the machine on which iBase is installed is held in the per machine application data area given previously. This is a copy of data in C:\Program Files. You should not use any data held in the Program Files area. If you choose to copy configuration files from one machine to another, then you should always overwrite the files in the application data area.
Data of this type consists of configuration files such as:
Folder | Files or folders |
|---|---|
| i2\i2 iBase <n>\en- us\Configuration | Iconlist.txt, Military Iconlist.txt, Combined Iconlist.txt, FTSexclude.txt, WSexclude.txt |
| i2\i2 iBase <n>\en-us\CommandGroups | CommandGroups.mdb |
| i2\i2 iBase <n>\en-us\Settings | Settings.xml (as set by options in the Options dialog) (Note: All users have read/write access to this file unless you change the permissions on the file.) |
| i2\i2 iBase <n>\en-us\WorkgroupTemplates | *.idt files (the default workgroup templates and any templates that you want to make available to all users) |
| i2\i2 iBase <n>\en-us\Mapping | Mapping configuration files. For information on the mapping configuration files, see the release notes for iBase GIS Interfaces. |
| i2\i2 iBase <n>\en-us\Scheduler | Scheduler.mdb (you can specify an alternative location) |
Per user data
Application data that is specific to a user of the machine is copied to, or created in, the per user application data folder given previously.
