Interplay Databases, Folders, and Files
28
This folder contains either the AvidWG or the AvidAM folder. If the server is functioning as the
Central Configuration server, the folder also includes the _InternalData folder. The following
table describes these folders:
Database Folders and Files
The following table lists the folders that are included in the AvidWG or AvidAM folders. During
normal work, users or administrators do not need to work directly with these folders and files.
All access for normal work is through Interplay products. You need to work with these files
when splitting a database or possibly when troubleshooting a problem.
c
You should exclude the _Database and _PropertyStore folders of each database from any
kind of virus checking because virus checking tools might try to lock the database files).
Database Description
_Internal Data User database: Contains Central Configuration Server information such as
users and roles.
AvidWG Interplay Engine database: Contains metadata for Avid assets and file
assets, and source files for file assets.
AvidAM Interplay Archive Engine database: Contains archived metadata for Avid
assets and file assets, and source files for file assets.
Database Directories and Files
Directory or File Directory or File Description
_Database The main database directory, which contains database files and the
database journal. These files contain the database structure and all
metadata. All files within this folder contain binary information and
cannot be viewed or edited with a text editor.
_Master The main data directory, which contains the source files for file assets that
are managed by the database (the file repository). This directory contains
source files for all versions of the file assets.
n
Source files for Avid assets are always stored in Avid media folders
on shared storage.
Handover Directories:
_Import, _CheckIn,
_PropertyHandover,
_Handover
Whenever a file is copied from the client to the server, the file is first
copied into one of these directories, depending on what operation (check
in, import, and so on) was performed. The server then moves the file from
these handover directories into the _Master directory.
