A private workspace comprises a set of files located in a sub-folder of the repository:
"<EnvironmentName>\DB\<RepositoryName>\<RepositoryName>.Transactions\xyz.*"
where "xyz" represents the user code.
Note that a private workspace cannot be separated from its repository (these files cannot be used independently).
