Directories and Files on Windows

Digital Process Factory

The following directories and files are created:

  • Installation directory: %DPFROOT%
  • Server components directory: %DPFSRV%
  • Data and job directory: %DPFDATA%
  • Customer-specific configuration directory: %SEAL_CUSTOMDIR%
  • Service configuration directory: C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\config
  • Log directory:
    • %DPFROOT%\data\log for legacy components such as Apache
    • C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\log for service logs

Customer-Specific Files

Digital Process Factory reads the following customer-specific files from %SEAL_CUSTOMDIR%, in addition to the standard files in the templates directory below %DPFSRV%:

  • Workflows: files named wf-*.xml, in any subdirectory. A customer-specific workflow overrides a standard workflow with the same name.
  • Working unit definitions: files named wu-*.xml, in any subdirectory. A customer-specific working unit definition overrides a standard working unit definition with the same name.
  • main.xml and main.customer.xml: directly in %SEAL_CUSTOMDIR%, not in a subdirectory. Their values override the values from the templates directory, refer to Configuration of DPF Server - main.customer.xml.
  • passwd.cfg for the user rights of DPF Tracker, refer to Secure DPF Tracker.

The following rules apply:

  • Digital Process Factory reads these files when the services start. After a change, restart the affected services, refer to Administrate the DPF Services.
  • Digital Process Factory loads every file whose name matches, including copies. Do not keep copies such as wf-order - Copy.xml below %SEAL_CUSTOMDIR%. Rename them so that the name no longer matches, for example wf-order.xml.bak.
  • Define each workflow and each working unit only once below %SEAL_CUSTOMDIR%.
  • Digital Process Factory does not search working unit scripts in %SEAL_CUSTOMDIR%. The COMMAND attribute of the working unit definition specifies the script path.
