Directories

sysman sysadmin

On this tab you can configure, among other things, important directories, the server URL, the handling of item numbers and the REST web service interface.

Apart from the attachments to items, Allegra stores all data in a database. The attachments, the indexes for the full-text search and the backup files are kept directly in the file system. For each of these file groups, you must set up a directory that is writable and readable by the servlet container. The directories must be entered as absolute path names.

ALLEGRA_HOME

At this location, Allegra stores, among other things, attachments and report templates. Make sure that there is enough storage space and enter the directory as an absolute path.

Backup directory

Allegra can create backups of its database and all other data regularly. Such backups are stored in this directory.

Full-text search index

Allegra keeps the indexes for the full-text search in the file system in specially formatted files and directories. The indexes can become very large. You should therefore provide enough storage space for this purpose. Also keep in mind that this index has to be updated with every search and every save of an item. It is therefore advantageous if the Allegra server has direct broadband access to this directory and it is not located on a network drive.
