ebXML-Specific Directories

The following additional directories will be created either during the ebXML installation or as needed by the application:

Directory

Purpose

ebXML\

The ebXML\ack directory contains subdirectories for received (and optionally sent) acknowledgments. This directory can be changed on the ebXML Message Service Panel. Acknowledgments can be automatically archived by the application or manually archived by the user from the "Acks" tab on the listener panel. Archived acknowledgments are stored in ebXML\ack\received\archive\ack.zip or ebXML\ack\sent\archive\ack.zip.

The ebXML\data directory contains an ebXMLmsgs.txt file that is used by the application to determine the receipt of duplicate messages.  Entries in this file are retained for the time interval configured on the ebXML Message Service.

The ebXML\schemas directory contains XML schema (.xsd) files that describe the format of various ebXML documents.

The ebXML\sent+received directory contains "raw" (unprocessed) incoming and outgoing messages. These files can be helpful in diagnosing problems. Old files should be deleted or archived by the user, if necessary. 

The ebXML\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 exhausting the number of retries.

lostandfound\

Default inbox where incoming data will be deposited when the application cannot determine where to put it.

temp\

Temporary location where large incoming messages or compressed messages may be stored while they are being processed by the application. These are deleted automatically once the message has been completely processed. This directory is only created if large messages or compressed messages need to be processed.
