Directories and folders
Main installation folder
All Connect applications are installed under an arbitrarily selectable main folder. We will speak
of the "Installation Target" in the following. This installation target will hold the executables and
required files and folders for the operation of the whole product suite. All these files and folders
are static after their installation. It depends on the company virus protection strategy, if such
files and folders will be monitored or not. A virus protection on these files and folders should,
however, not have a big – if even any – impact on the performance of the Connect suite.
Working folders
Working folders for Connect are created and used on a per-user-basis under the respective
user's profile folder, accessible on Windows with the standardized system variable
%USERPROFILE% in the subfolder "Connect". Working folders are:
l
%USERPROFILE%\Connect\filestore: This folder will hold non-intermediate files for the
operation of Connect. Files in this folder will be used frequently, but not with a high
frequency. Supervising this folder with a virus protection system should not have too
much of an impact on the speed of the whole Connect suite.
l
%USERPROFILE%\Connect\logs: As the name implies, log files are created and
updated here. These log files are plain text files. Virus protection may have an impact on
the speed of the whole Connect suite.
l
%USERPROFILE%\Connect\temp: Storage folder for temporary data, usually
intermittent files in multiple folders. Virus protection on this folder and its subfolders may
have a serious impact on the performance of Connect.
l
%USERPROFILE%\Connect\workspace: Usually containing settings and helper files
and folders. Supervising this folder with a virus protection system should not have too
much of an impact on the speed of the whole Connect suite.
Database 1
Depending on the components installed, a database instance is created in the system temp
folder of Windows. This folder is accessible via the standardized system variable %TMP%.
Usually, folders holding such temporary files and folders should be excluded from a virus
protection, because this influences the overall performance of the whole system at all. However
the responsible person for the computer protection has to decide about the monitoring of such
temporary folders following the company guidelines.
