Housekeeping files in CLC Server File System Locations
Dot files are present in each folder in each CLC Data Location and each CLC Server File System Location, including at the top level of each location. These internal files, used for housekeeping, should not be manually edited, moved or deleted.
In each folder in a CLC Data Location:
- .clcinfo Contains the ID of the folder. In recycle bins, this file also contains information about where the data was moved from, when it was moved and by whom.
- .fileinfocache Contains information about files and folders within the folder, used to make browsing in a Navigation Area more efficient.
- .orderlist2 Contains information about the order elements should be displayed in a Navigation Area.
- .acl Contains permissions-related information for the data in that folder. (CLC Server File System Locations only)
At the top level of a CLC Data Location and each CLC Server File System Location, there are additionally the following two dot files:
- .idmapdir2 Contains a mapping of the ID to the path for this location.
- .indexdir2 A Lucene index database. Lucene is used for the (data) search functionality.
