System Configuration Directories Tab

The Directories tab on the System Configuration dialog box enables you to modify the system data store folders that you established during installation.

The Directories tab also enables you to establish a hierarchical file structure for the document and translator report folders (Inbound and Outbound Interchanges, Documents, and Translator Reports) that corresponds to the file creation date or date and time.

Note: Using the hierarchical file structure improves system functionality by eliminating the possibility of an excessive number of files in a single folder and improves user navigation in these folders.

The following illustrates the System Configuration Directories tab.

External Data Files Specify the location of all external data files. The default is ExternalData.
Inbound Interchanges Specify the location all received interchanges.The default is IntIn.
Outbound Interchanges Specify the location of all sent interchanges. The default is IntOut.

Translator Reports Specify the location of all translator reports. The default is TranRpt.
Directory Format Select a value to establish a hierarchical file structure for the document and translator report folders, which corresponds to the file creation date or date and time. Valid values:
  • None (this is the default)
  • YYYY/MM/DD (groups files by date in the format #YYYY/MM/DD)
  • YYYY/MM/DD/HH (groups files by date and time in the format #YYYY/MM/DD/HH)
Note: The directory structure you set here results in a hierarchical structure with the first level being the 4-digit year. Then, depending on the format specified, the next level will be the 2-digit month and then the 2-digit day, following by the 2-digit hour (in 24-hour format), if specified.

If you change the directory structure, the previous structure remains intact, but the system loads new files into the hierarchical level that is currently specified.
