Distribution Structure

When Data Access is installed on your machine, several directories are created, some of them accompanied with a dedicated README file that you are advised to read. The following main directories are created:

  • bin and its subdirectories, provide some basic tools (Views Studio with static Data Access libraries, Views Prototype Studio with static Data Access libraries and other tools). In the directory of each tool you will find <systems> and <database> directories for your specific target systems.

  • data and its subdirectories provide panel description files (suffixed .ilv) used by the delivered Data Access samples and editors, as well as the message description files. You should avoid modifying them.

  • include and its subdirectories provide all Data Access class header files.

  • lib and its subdirectories contain the Data Access libraries.

  • samples and its subdirectories provide sample coding to let you see particular aspects of the classes provided by Data Access.

  • studio and its subdirectories contain the Data Access libraries for Studio.
