Applications directory

The applications directory is the suggested location for runtime files such as binary files, Java class files, and Python script files that are required for a specific AE.

The following two locations are suggested:
/nz/export/ae/applications/<db>/
/nz/export/ae/applications/<db>/<user>

By default, the compile_ae and register_ae scripts target the /nz/export/ae/applications/<db>/<user> directory. The /nz/export/ae/applications/<db> directory is the only directory tree that is backed up for a specific database by the Netezza Performance Server Analytics backup utility when using it in single database mode rather than all database mode. For Netezza Performance Server Analytics backup and restore, the name of the database, <db>, in the path should match the database for which the AE is registered.

Note: This does not apply to the standard Netezza Platform Software backup and restore convention.
