Creating an Interplay Database
The Create Database view lets you name and create a new Interplay database. You need to create
an Interplay database after you install the Interplay Engine and Interplay Access software.
c
Avid supports only one database for each Interplay Engine. The database must be named
AvidWG, or for an Archive Engine database, AvidAM.
The root folder for a new database is set during the installation of the Interplay Engine software.
By default, the installation program creates one shared folder for both the metadata database and
the source files for file assets (the file repository). The default location is the
D:\Workgroup_Databases folder (or S:\Workgroup_Databases on a cluster system). This folder
is represented by the administrative share name WG_Database$. The $ indicates a hidden share.
