The view storage directory
A dynamic view is implemented as a standard directory, whose root is called the view storage directory.
The view storage directory contains these files and subdirectories, all of which are created and modified HCL VersionVault commands and must never be modified in any other way:
- .access_info
- A file of view access event information that is periodically updated by the view server.
- .pid
- A one-line text file that lists the process ID of the view’s view_server process.
- admin
- A directory that contains administrative data related to the amount of disk space a view is using. Use space –view to list this data.
- config_spec
- A file that stores the view’s current config spec, in the form displayed by catcs.
- .compiled_spec
- A modified version of config_spec, which includes accounting information.
- .identity
- On Linux or on the UNIX system, a subdirectory whose zero-length files establish the view’s owner and group memberships.
- identity.sd
- On Windows®, a binary data file that contains the security descriptor for the view storage directory.
- .s
- A subdirectory that implements the view’s private storage area.
- db
- A subdirectory containing the files that implement the view’s embedded database.
- .view
- A file that lists the view’s universal unique identifier (UUID) and other attributes
