Directory Structure

The following describes the directory structure that MTRDR uses.

"Home" refers to the starting folder from which the folders listed below descend from.  For example, if mtrdr.exe was loaded from c:\chartnet\bin, then the home folder would be c:\chartnet\mtrdr.

"Hostname" refers to the network name of the machine that is running mtrdr.  The Voice Reader gets the host name from the networking properties of the PC.  Certain folders used by mtrdr use the hostname in order to keep files for that machine separate from files processed by other machines on the same network.

[home]

The "home" directory for MTRDR.  Can be overrided using the /HomePath command-line parameter.  The Authors table is stored here (unless overriden using the /AuthorPath parameter).  Each workstation that runs MTRDR will have an .INI file located here using the filename of [hostname].ini.

[home]\download\[hostname]

The folder where voice files are downloaded to. 

[home]\backup1

The folder where downloaded voice files are backed up to before they are processed.  Files are copied to the backup1 folder as they are downloaded from the recorder.  Files in this folder get purged after 60 days.

Filename format:  [author id]-[yyyymmdd]-[hhmmss]-[seq].dss,  where "yyyymmdd" is the date of the download, "hhmmss" is the time of the download, and "seq" is a sequential file number.

[home]\backup2\[author id]\[hostname]\[date]

The folder where the voice files (.cvf) and header files (.hed) are backed up to after they are processed.  This is the folder used when doing "re-sends".

[home]\logs\[hostname]

The folder where the log files are stored for each machine.
