In this section, we refer to data already in a CLC Server data area as being in a persistence model
. This technical term allows us to refer to any area that the CLC Servers or Workbenches recognize as CLC data areas. Most relevant to this document are CLC Server File Locations and Database Locations. Each Server File Location, for example, is a single persistence model.
When running the clcserver
command, one needs to be able to specify resources inside of or outside of a CLC Server persistence model, as well as files and folders on the local machine.
Files residing on the local system are indicated by using the full or relative path to the file.
Data objects held in a CLC Server persistence model and files stored in areas configured as Import/Export locations for the CLC Server are indicated using a CLC URL. CLC data objects within a persistence model can be identified by using two different URL forms, one based on the object's name or using its object ID. For files in an Import/Export area, only the name-based URL form can be used.
