Environment Structure

MEGA Administration : Administrator Guide : Managing Environments : Environment Structure

• A configuration file.

• A system repository (see "System Repository")

• Shapes, if they are different from the site standard shapes.

• A “Db” folder for the repositories used in this environment.

In most cases, there is only one environment per site. It is possible to define several environments when the site includes repositories on which users work with different resources (such as specific report templates (MS Word) or metamodel extensions).

All users must have full access rights to the resources of the environments and repositories (creation and deletion of files and folders).

The folder structure of an environment is as follows:

• Db: contains the environment repositories

Each repository is located in a folder carrying its name. See "Repository Structure", page 138.

• ExternalRef: contains external references of the environment

• intranet: contains the Web sites generated in the environment

• Mega_Usr: contains shapes specific to the environment

• Samples: contains examples

• SysDb: the system repository

The "Demonstration" environment is provided as an example with all versions of MEGA, and it is managed differently from environments created by the user.

MEGA recommends:

• that you do not work in the "Demonstration" environment, even in a specific repository.

• that you create a new environment (see "Creating an Environment") and you work in this. For more details on creating a new environment, see "Creating an Environment".
