File Locations

You can start the deployment utility with a script named deploy.vbs located at ..bbappfx\MSBuild\Datamarts with respect to your installation location. The script calls an installer named Blackbaud.AppFx.ReportDB.Installer located at ..bbappfx\MSBuild\Datamarts\bin with respect to your installation location.

The deployment utility maintains some of its settings in a file called BBDW.settings. Among these settings are the location of the Mart manifest file and the location of the path to maintain extensions items. In the BBDW.settings file, within <ExtendPath>, the path string is maintained. However, you can update this from the deployment utility on the Edit Advanced Data Mart Settings screen.

The deployment utility also processes a file called BBDW.mart which contains other settings for the deployment. The location of the Mart manifest file can be specified from the Edit Advanced Data Mart Settings screen of the deployment utility. The setting is Mart manifest file under Deployment file.

Within the Extend folder, there is a Revisions folder where database revisions extensions can be maintained. These are in addition to Blackbaud's Revisions files maintained in the Extend folder's sibling Revisions folder.

Within the Extend folder, there is an SSIS folder which contains two files: BBDW_DeletedIDTables_EXT.txt and BBDW_PackageList_EXT.txt. These files support management of ETL extensions. These are in addition to Blackbaud's ETL files maintained in the Extend folder's sibling SSIS folder.

Within the Extend folder, there is a UDM folder which contains files to extend OLAP. This folder is in addition to the Extend folder's sibling UDM folder which contains a manifest and deployment files for Analysis Services.
