About the Mobile Directory Structure

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

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

Data Installation Directory

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

D:\SiebelAnalyticsData

Mobile Directory

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

Mobile Application Directory

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

NOTE:  Analytics Web examines the Mobile subdirectory to identify and list the mobile 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 Mobile subdirectory.

Mobile Application Metadata Directory

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

Mobile Application Data Directory

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

Mobile Application Message Directory

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