Repository Each Engine Repository corresponds to a
windows folder (or directory). The location of this folder is stored in the
cerberus.ini file and can be changed via the Engine Administration Utility. To
transfer a repository from one system to another, or to copy a repository,
simply copy the repository and all it's contents to a new location and point
Engine at the new location. Files that are stored at the Repository level are:
Database A Repository can contain none, one, or many databases. Each Database corresponds to a sub-folder of the repository folder. The maximum number of databases that can be added to a repository is 1024. Files that are stored at the Database level are:
Temp Underneath each Database folder is a TEMP folder. Files stored at this level and below are:

The User folder contains details of temporary objects for that user and is the default output directory for any data output done by the user. The name of the folder is the user's logon name (e.g. the User directory for the SYSTEM user is called SYSTEM) Files contained in the USER directory are:
