Description
The directories resource is a collection of directories that are used by the portal to store and manage content. Portal for ArcGIS supports five types of directories:
- Content directory—The content directory contains the data associated with every item in the portal.
- Database directory—The built-in security store and sharing rules are stored in a Database server that places files in the database directory.
- Temporary directory—The temporary directory is used as a scratch workspace for all the portal's runtime components.
- Index directory—The index directory contains all the indexes associated with the content in the portal. The indexes are used for quick retrieval of information and for querying purposes.
- Logs directory—Errors and warnings are written to text files in the log file directory. Each day, if new errors or warnings are encountered, a new log file is created.
The Edit Directory operation can be used to change the path for a directory.
