CIM Directory Structure

CIM directory structures are used to archive documents, store custom scripts, and provide space for reports-format files and application server processing (inbox, outbox, templates, and logs) and report format files. Each structure must be created on a file server that can be accessed by all application servers of the application server cluster. For SQL Server, the data server service must be located in the Inbox directory.

The following diagram illustrates the CIM directory structure. The FDMDATA directory is a user-created directory that stores FDM applications. ABCCorp is a system-generated directory, created when an FDM application is created, and named after the FDM application.

The image depicts the CIM directory structure. The directory structure is detailed in the text following the image.
