Folder Overview

One of the tasks of a system administrator may be to manage the Sage X3 system folders for the organization. This may include performing folder validation during the initial creation of a folder and ongoing maintenance.

• Initial validation occurs when a new folder is created. During this process, the following happens:
• The Folders directories are created on the server.
• The endpoint user is created in the database system (with the folder name).
• Tables are created in the database.
• Object dictionaries are copied from the reference folder into the folder being created (inheritance).
• Data is copied from a copy folder (not necessarily the reference folder).
• When the folder is revalidated (subsequent times):
• The object dictionary (tables, screens, etc.) is copied from the reference folder, overwriting existing objects. Only objects or object elements (field, indexes, etc.) that are flagged with a specific activity code are protected.
• All the dictionaries are revalidated (tables, screens, windows, etc.).
• Before creating a folder, you should have an estimate of the quantity of information that will be managed. Creating a folder creates the database, which physically reserves the disk space calculated from the values entered in the Folders function.
• To change the sizing in the database after creating a folder, you need to use the database tools associated with the database type selected.
