PATROL KM product file destinations

The installation of a PATROL KM requires that all your KM-related files are placed in the proper place in the PATROL environment.

In the PATROL 3. x architecture, files are installed to the console, agent, or both. With the 7. x three-tier architecture, KM files are installed in different locations. KM files can be installed on one or more of the following locations:

PATROL 3.5 consoles

The following table lists the directories that your KM-related files are placed in during the install process of your PATROL KM for PATROL 3.5 Consoles:

PATROL Console Server

The PATROL Console Server provides KM resources for the new PATROL Central consoles.

Note

When you install your icon resource file, you must not install it in the knowledge/default directory, or you will overwrite the default icon resource file, and KMs that depend on this resource for their images will no longer have their icons. You must install your resource file in your knowledge/ prd_KMversion directory.

The following table lists the directories that your KM-related files are installed in during the install of your PATROL KM for PATROL 7. x components:

PATROL Console Server file usage

File type	Path	Description
.chm	(UNIX) $PATROL_ROOT/lib/knowledge/prd_KMversion/lib/help/LOCALE/prd.chm (Windows) %PATROL_ROOT%\lib\knowledge\prd_KMversion\lib\help\LOCALE\prd.chm	Knowledge module help files for display in PATROL 7. x consoles prd_KMversion is the version-specific directory for the KM package.
resource.mk4	(UNIX) $PATROL_ROOT/lib/knowledge/prd_KMversion (Windows) %PATROL_ROOT%\lib\knowledge\prd_KMversion	Image resource file for the KM prd_KMversion is the version-specific directory for the KM package.
package.mof	(UNIX) $PATROL_ROOT/lib/knowledge/prd_KMversion (Windows) %PATROL_ROOT%\lib\knowledge\prd_KMversion	KM MOF package file for the console server prd_KMversion is the version- specific directory for the KM package.

PATROL Central-Windows Edition console

The only KM files that you need to install on the PATROL Central-Windows Edition computer are the console-side executables for state change actions and #%MODES% local commands.

PATROL Central-Windows Edition file locations

File type	Path (Windows only)	Description
.bat .sh .exe	%PATROL_HOME%	Console-side executables used for state change action methods and #%MODES% menu commands

Note

The PATROL Central-Windows Edition files are installed in the PATROL 3.5 %PATROL_HOME% directory structure. This prevents the installation of multiple copies of console-side executables when PATROL 3.5 and PATROL 7. x consoles are installed on the same computer. PATROL Central-Windows Edition can have its own PPF file or you can use the same PPF that is used for the 3.5 Windows console, but you will be installing unneeded files if the 3. x console is not installed on the computer.

PATROL Central-Web Edition Server

The only KM files that you need to install on the PATROL Central-Web Edition Web server are the KM Help files. PATROL Central-Web Edition gets all the KM resources from the console server.

PATROL Central-Web Edition file locations

File type	Path	Description
.jar	Version-specific PATROL Central-Web Edition KM Help (UNIX) KM_WEB_HELP/html/prd_v.r.m_LOCALE.jar (Windows) KM_WEB_HELP\html\prd_v.r.m_LOCALE.jar	KM Help files in .jar archive format

The .jar files are not expanded by the Web server. The Help is served from the .jar file as it is requested by PATROL Central-Web Edition.

The .jar file uses the following values in the naming convention:

prd - the KM product code or registered prefix
vrm - the KM version number
LOCALE - the LOCALE value is formed by concatenating the language code, an underscore, and the country code.

For example, english (EN) and the United States (USA) form the following LOCALE value: EN_USA
