Knowledge Base index files


The following files are included with the installation and are necessary for the Knowledge Base to run properly:

  • manifest.kb—Serves as an index file for the listed directories that compose the Knowledge Base during compilation. This file is located in installationDirectory\pw\server\etc_CellName_\kb on Windows platforms and in $installationDirectory/pw/server/etc/CellName/kb on UNIX platforms. 
  • .loa—Serves as an index file for the individual files contained in the corresponding subdirectory of the Knowledge Base directory structure. Load files are included in each subdirectory to determine load order for that particular directory. File types within the .load file do not have extensions. 
  • .loadwic—Before the compilation of the Knowledge Base, rules and collectors are created in .mrl files and are included in the .load files. After compilation, rule and collector files are stored in .wic files and a .loadwic file is created for the KB to use. The .wic files are computer-readable only.
