A computer that has the Essbase client programs installed uses a predefined directory structure, described in Table 4. The exact name of the root directory depends on the name selected during user installation, but the structure under the root directory is always the same.
Table 4. Predefined Directory Structure for Essbase Installations
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| \root | Root directory: All Essbase files |
| \root\bin | Binary directory: executables, shared libraries, and other program files |
| \root\client | Client directory: Client application and database files |
| \root\client\appname | Files relating to the application appName (one for each application) |
| \root\client\appname\dbname | Files relating to the database dbName in the application appName (one for each database in the application) |
The root directory can have any name the user chooses at installation time.
Note: | The root directory name cannot include spaces. |
