Folders

Upon installation, OPALE Server creates the following folders in the "home" folder of the IBM i server:

• Mapping (*.PAG, lstobj.txt, generation files of mappings)
• docpc (*.MPW, *.MPI, *.MPP, *.MPA)
• lgobitmap (*.BMP)
• Mapout (*.MAP, passwd.txt)

\home\mapping

• *.PAG files: spooled files used to base template designs off of (created by the IBM i upon request)
• lstobj.txt: text files which contain all numbers and identifying pieces of overlays and generated downloadable fonts.

Caution: The lstobj.txt must not be edited or deleted!

If the file is lost, you can recreate it with the IBM i, by typing CALL MAP_823 on a command line.

• Mapping generation files: files imported by the IBM i to create templates. When imported, these files are deleted from the Mapping folder.

• overlays (without extension)
• downloadable fonts (without extension): only exist if you use non integrated fonts.
• nameoftheformatsequencenumber.spt: file with the name of the format, the sequence number (link between all mapping generation files)
• nameoftheformatsequencenumbermap1: initialisation of the generated datastream
• nameoftheformatsequencenumbermap2D: conditions
• nameoftheformatsequencenumbermap2H: first stage information about pages, groups, lines.
• nameoftheformatsequencenumbermap3: zones

\home\mapping\docpc

• *.MPW: overlay design files
• *.MPI: template design files
• *.MPP: project files, linking overlay(s) (*.MPW), template(s) (*.MPI), and example spooled files (*.PAG). When opening a project, Designer opens the overlay(s), template(s) and the associated spooled file(s).
• *.MPA: Project association files. Links projects together. When opening an association, Designer opens each project file in the association.

\home\mapping\lgobitmap

This folder contains a copy of image files you inserted in the template. These files are not stored in your *.MPI files.

These files are created once for all your templates.

Logos created in the overlay are stored in the *.MPW files and cannot be found in this folder.

Caution: Do not use these files as sources for variable logos.

\home\mapout

• C*.MAP: criteria files of archived spooled files
• P*.MAP: font files and archived spooled file overlays
• S*.MAP: data files of archived spooled files
• passwd.txt: file containing archiving profiles and passwords. Coded file!!
