Appendix A: File Structure

This appendix describes the default file structure of the SIETS system.

After the SIETS server installation, the siets directory is created under usr/local:

usr/local/siets.

In the siets directory, there is the data directory that contains all information including data, configuration, and log files for each of the SIETS storages added to the SIETS server in a separate directory named after the SIETS storage.

For example, all information of the test SIETS storage is located in usr/local/siets/data/test.

The SIETS storage directory contains the following files:

Title	Description
`config.xml`	SIETS storage configuration file.
`DIC`	Prefix for data files names that contain vocabulary.
`DOC`	Prefix for data files names that contain repository data.
`MTX`	Prefix for data files names that contain inverted index.
`log_YY_MM_DD`	Access log file for the date appearing in the file name. Note that all log files are automatically deleted periodically as they can increase in size. For information on configuring the period in which log files are deleted, see SIETS Storage Configuration File Parameters, General.
`error_YY_MM_DD`	Error log file for the date appearing in the file name. Note that all log files are automatically deleted periodically as they can increase in size. For information on configuring the period in which log files are deleted, see SIETS Storage Configuration File Parameters, General.
`parsing_xml_YY_MM_DD`	Request X ML parsing log file. Note that XML parsing errors cannot be added to the error log, because, before parsing the XML request, it is not possible to retrieve information for construing the log, for example the request ID.
`dump_YY_MM_DD`	Dump of commands that are sent to the SIETS server. This log is created only if the SIETS storage is configured respectively. For information on turning on or off the dump log see SIETS Storage Configuration File Parameters, General. Note that all log files are automatically deleted periodically as they can increase in size. For information on configuring the period in which log files are deleted, see SIETS Storage Configuration File Parameters, General.
