File Structure
Overview of the folder structure of Evolve Web Platform
|
|
If you have configured your site to replicate content from one server to another, for example when using a load balancer, you may need to adjust your 'Copy' scripts for 2020.0.2 onwards. See the details below to determine what folders have moved. |
|---|
Unlike many Windows applications, including 'Evolve Suite', 'Evolve Web Platform' is typically installed to the root of your C: drive.
While most of the files that are installed are not intended for user serviceability, there are a few folders that contain content, useful for administrators. Most significantly, folders containing customized content, search indexes, and generated content. All of which may be replicated to other servers, when load balancing.
Up to and including Evolve Web Platform 2020.0.1 the folders followed this pattern:
|
Folder |
Description |
|---|---|
|
c:\erwin\evolve [or] |
Main installation folder |
|
\CWSServices |
Global Search services |
|
\CWSServices\Data |
Global Search encrypted audit records, for indexing (and sharing to other servers in a load balanced group) |
|
\Data\Common |
Shared web client content for all sites (javascript) |
|
\Data\Sites\[sitename] |
Specific content for the given dynamic site sitename |
|
\Data\Statics\[sitename] |
Specific content for the given static site sitename |
|
\Diagrammer |
The new Web Modeler application service |
|
\ElasticSearch |
The elastic search runtimes to operate Global Search |
|
\Elasticsearch\elasticsearch-6.4.0\data\nodes |
The elastic search database files. If upgrading within the same Major release version, these files can be kept, to remove the need for a full search re-index. In large installations this can save many hours of re-indexing. |
|
\JRE |
The Java runtime to support ElasticSearch and other Java components |
|
\node_modules |
The node modules required to support Web Modeler |
|
\Site\bin\sites |
The site configuration files that describe site settings |
|
\Site\bin\webDesigner\custom |
The location for customization files for Evolve Web Platform |
|
\Site\logs |
The Web Designer, Diagram Designer, and Live log files for the platform |
|
\WebRestAPI |
The REST API that replaces Portal Web Services, and supports interaction over a http interface |
What has changed from 2020.0.2 onwards, is the location of the static generated content, and any data related content for the dynamic site. The new structure is as follows:
|
Folder |
Description |
|---|---|
|
\Data\Sites\[sitename] |
Site structure and design for the given dynamic site sitename |
|
\Data\Statics\[sitename] |
Site structure and design for the given static site sitename |
|
\Data\Data\[sitename]\live\ |
Content data for the site sitename |
|
\Data\Data\[sitename]\static\ |
Content data for the site sitename |
