General server configuration

All configuration data and parameters within a NETx BMS Core Server project are stored within a workspace. A workspace consists of various configuration files that are read during the start up procedure of the server. All workspaces are kept in the following directory (depending on the product, the directory name is either BMS Platform or Multi Protocol Server):

<Install directory>\NETxAutomation\<Product name>\Core\Workspaces

Within this directory, each NETx BMS Core Server workspace has its own sub-directory where all corresponding configuration and definition files are stored. The name of the sub-directory is identical to the name of the workspace:

<Install directory>\NETxAutomation\<Product name>\Core\Workspaces\<Workspace name>

Each workspace directory contains following sub directories (possible other directories are not taken into account):

Workspace sub directory	Content

Workspace sub directory	Content
ConfigFiles	Configuration data files contain general configuration parameters that change the behavior of the server functionality (e.g. IP address of the used network interface, ...)
DataFiles	Datapoint configuration files are used to specify the different datapoints from the field level that shall be accessed by the server. The configuration of the field devices that handle these datapoints is also defined here.
EventFiles	To add additional control functionality to the server, events can be defined.
LogFiles	Logging information that is generated by the server during runtime
ProjectFiles	NETx BMS Client projects are stored within container files which have the file extension ".vxf".
ScriptFiles	Countains LUA source code files: In cases where the provided event definition mechanisms are not sufficient enough and in order to add more control functionality, LUA scripts can be implemented and executed within the server's environment. The directory contains some script files by default, when a new workspace gets created.
