Configuration: Storage loading

The concept of a storage in AVIX refers to a unit that can be opened for different purposes. For instance, a storage may be opened by the AVIX desktop application, in a window of its own. The same storage may also be viewed in the Shopfloor viewer web application. 

An AVIX storage may be served to connected AVIX applications in any of the following two forms :

• Database storage. Once the AVIX Server is configured for DB repositories, it may serve database storages to connected AVIX applications. 
• File storage: the AVIX Server also supports serving file storages to connected AVIX applications. This is sometimes referred to as server-managed files. 

 

load_storages.xml configuration file

By default, the AVIX server will pick up the configuration from an XML file called load_storages.xml, residing in the root directory of the AVIX server. 

In a clean server installation, no such file exists. However, during the first launch of the server, the file will be automatically generated, with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<load_storage_config>
  <load_storages id="id1" storageDirectory="${se.solme.avix.shopfloorviewer:filestorage.upload.folder}" uploadtarget="true" workspacePrefix="default" publish="true" name="uploaded-files"/>
</load_storage_config>

The purpose of adding this uploaded-files entry is to allow the uploading of AVIX files from the  web application as well as publishing from the AVIX application to the server.server (uploadtarget="true" allows uploading). 

An example file entitled load_storages.xml.example exists, that can be used to get started:

security storage loading

The security storage of anthe AVIX Server contains the organizational structure of your company, including the users and roles. This storage will come in the form of a file storage with the extension .avx5t.

By default, the AVIX Server will look for an .avx5t file in the

configuration/access-control/. The included example file  default-access.avx5t will thus be the security storage in effect by default. 

If

</load_storage_config>

A.The LoadsAVIX Server may run with only one security file storage!

ADMIN storage loading

The admin storage(s) of the AVIX Server contains pre-loaded definitions and templates such as:

• time study activities (AVIX Method, SAM,  UAS, CTA ) 
• analysis configurations (FMEA, DFX)
• note types
• life cycle status and workflow set-ups
  

This storage will come in the form of a file storage with the extension .avx5t. Similarly to with security storage, every client application connecting to the server will be enforced to use the admin storage(s) from the database which gets the ID live.server.
