About the Disconnected Directory Structure

All files associated with a disconnected application must reside at specific locations within the disconnected directory structure.

This chapter refers to various directories and subdirectories on the enterprise server that contain files associated with a disconnected application. The following example shows the disconnected directory structure:

Data Installation Directory

During installation of Siebel Analytics, the Siebel Analytics administrator will select a directory for storing Siebel Analytics data (data installation directory). For example, the administrator may choose the following as the data installation directory:

D:\SiebelAnalyticsData

Disconnected Directory

Disconnected applications reside in the Disconnected subdirectory (disconnected directory) under the data installation directory. Using the same example of the disconnected directory structure, the disconnected applications reside in D:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Disconnected.

Disconnected Application Directory

Each disconnected application has an associated subdirectory (disconnected application directory) in the disconnected directory. Using the same example of the disconnected directory structure, for an application called MyApp, all its files would reside in the subdirectory D:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Disconnected\MyApp. In particular, it would contain the disconnected application configuration file MyApp.xml. Similarly, for an application called YourApp, all its files would reside in the subdirectory D:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Disconnected\YourApp. In particular, it would contain the disconnected application configuration file YourApp.xml.

NOTE:  Analytics Web examines the Disconnected subdirectory to identify and list the disconnected analytics applications available for the user. If an application definition file and application subdirectory are present, Analytics Web reads the definition file and lists the application. To hide an application, remove the appropriate application subdirectory from the Disconnected subdirectory.

Disconnected Application Metadata Directory

Each disconnected application directory has a subdirectory (disconnected application metadata directory) that contains the metadata files of the disconnected application (repository, Web Catalog and SQL script files). By convention, the directory name of the disconnected application metadata directory is app, but you can change this. Using the same example of the disconnected directory structure, the disconnected application metadata files for the MyApp application reside in D:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Disconnected\MyApp\app.

Disconnected Application Data Directory

Each disconnected application directory has another subdirectory (disconnected application data directory) that contains the disconnected application's data files (externally generated data files and preprocessed data files). By convention, the directory name of the disconnected application data is data, but you can change this. Using the same example of the disconnected directory structure, the disconnected application data files for the MyApp application reside in D:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Disconnected\MyApp\data.

Disconnected Application Message Directory

Each disconnected application directory has another subdirectory (hereafter called the disconnected application message directory). This subdirectory contains the message localization XML files used by the disconnected Web Catalog for the application. By convention, the directory name of the disconnected application message is messages, but you can change this. Using the same example of the disconnected directory structure, the message localization XML files for the MyApp application reside in D:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Disconnected\MyApp\messages.

Disconnected Application Configuration File
