empower® Backend Directories

Hosting Option: Corporate Cloud

Required Permissions: IT Admin

For the empower® Backend installation, empower® usually uses three different directories on the application server’s file system.

The following table provides an overview of those directories and what they are used for:

Directory

Description

Default Path

Installation Directory

This directory contains the installation files and the environment configuration (empowerenv.json).

%Program Files%\empower\backend\root

Path before change of name:

%Program Files%\Made in Office\empower backend\root

Configuration Directory

This directory contains all configuration files that can be edited by a user (administrator) and status information that must not be deleted (e.g. information about the Active Directory synchronization status).

(Exception: Final deinstallation)

%ProgramData%\empower\backend\[ENVIRONMENT NAME]\root

Path before change of name:

%ProgramData%\Made in Office\empower backend\[ENVIRONMENT NAME]\root

Temporary Data Directory

This directory contains data produced by the empower® Backend that does not need to be stored permanently (e.g. log files or binary data cache).

%ProgramData%\empower\backend\[ENVIRONMENT NAME]\temp

Path before change of name:

%ProgramData%\Made in Office\empower backend\[ENVIRONMENT NAME]\temp

Important

The binary data folder should not be deleted regularly. This could have a considerable negative impact on the backend performance.

The data in this folder does not necessarily have to be included in a backup because they can be regenerated if necessary (with temporary performance impacts).

Note

When changing the company’s name to empower GmbH, the paths have also been changed.

The paths mentioned in this table have been updated for new installations after the change of name. The table also contains the formerly used paths.
