Custom files for CA Service Catalog, including custom images, data fields for business units, accounts and users.

You can optionally store these files in a filestore.

For example, suppose you customized data fields for business units, accounts and users. A sample folder name is %USM_HOME%\filestore\custom\locale\
icusen (for English).

Another example follows: Suppose you customized images for service option groups. In that case, a sample folder name is %USM_HOME%\filestore\custom\images\rateplans.
