AS3-Specific Directories

The following additional directories are created either during the AS3 installation or as needed by the application:

Directory	Purpose
lostandfound\	Default inbox where incoming data is deposited when the application cannot determine where to put it.
AS3\	Location where raw (unprocessed) incoming and outgoing messages are stored. Incoming messages are located in the AS3\received directory and outgoing messages are located in the AS3\sent directory. These files can be helpful in diagnosing problems. Old files should be deleted or archived by the user, if necessary. The AS3\unsent directory contains raw header, data and message setup information files. These files are used if a message needs to be retransmitted, and are deleted automatically by the application once the message transfer has either completed successfully or has failed due to timeouts, exceptions, or the number of retries has been exhausted. The AS3\mdn directory contains subdirectories for received (and optionally sent) MDNs. This directory can be changed on the AS3 Service Panel. MDNs can be automatically archived by the application or manually archived by the user from the MDNs tab on the listener panel. Archived MDNs are stored in AS3\mdn\received\archive\mdn.zip or AS3\mdn\sent\archive\mdn.zip. The AS3\data directory contains an AS3msgs.txt file used by the application to determine the receipt of duplicate messages. Entries in this file are retained for the time interval configured on the AS3 Service panel .
temp\	Temporary location where incoming messages can be stored while being processed by the application. By default, they are deleted automatically once the message has been completely processed; however, these files can be kept for problem diagnosis by using the Retain Temporary Inbound Message Files host-level Advanced property. These temporary files will automatically be deleted after 7 days.
