How CA Automation Point Looks for Files

CA Automation Point looks for many customization files, both when it starts and during operation. It distributes these files, which are stored in the installDir\Distrib directory, for use in initial site setup. You can create your own such files, which are stored in the %AP_SITE%\MyFiles directory, to extend the use of the product. CA Automation Point uses a special search order to support this directory structure.

The search order for site-customizable files such as rules and scripts follows:

1. Site customization files directory, the %AP_SITE%\MyFiles subdirectory
2. Product support files directory, the installDir\Distrib directory

The search order for REXX programs follows:

1. Site REXX files directory, the %AP_SITE%\MyFiles\REXX subdirectory
2. Product support files directory, the installDir\Distrib directory
