Subdirectories

SLNet

This subdirectory contains the following files:

File(s)	Description
startup.txt	Information on the last six startups
protocol_[*].bin	Information on cached Protocols (for SLNet)
elementProtocol_[*].bin	Information on cached Element Protocols (for SLNet)

Local/Failover/Offload

These three subdirectories are used for pushing data to the database. They contain subfolders that refer to database tables (e.g., “alarm” or “data123”).

Each of them can contain files like “2010_11_10_09_22_28_6348_210.dat” or “2010_11_10_09_22_28_6348_210.sql”, ready to be inserted into either the general or the offload database, or ready to be forwarded to the backup DMA (in case of Failover).
