Organizing and Managing PT Application Files

Upon deployment, the PT application files that present the three localized user interfaces exist in the following five top-level directories:

• The Source directory contains the HTML files the design team created when designing the application's user interface.
• The Global directory contains globalized XML template files.
• The En-us, De, and Ja directories contain lingo.xml files for each language, and will contain the localized HTML files built by XSL transformation or XML merge for each locale. These directories also contain XML files with localized strings for the application menus, and an instance of gate.asp that loads the code page for the specified language.

The En-us, De, and Ja directories each contain a Menu subdirectory that contains the XML files necessary to implement menus for the application.

In addition to the directories in the preceding list, the application's root also contains:

• The gate.asp file, which provides the entry point to the PT application.
• A directory named SQL Scripts, which contains the stored procedures used for data access.
• A directory named Scripts, which contains the JavaScript (.js) files and the two ASP files, ViewData.asp, and postIt.asp, which wrap the data access calls to the SQLXML component.
• A directory named Menu, which contains menu.asp and menu.xsl, which are used in the process of dynamically building the application's menus, and Build.asp, which starts the process of building localized HTML pages for the application.

The following topics describe the process of creating and storing these files in the application's virtual root:
