The Standard Workgroup Database is the default type of database provided by the InfoWorks Workgroup Server. It does not require any addition third- party software. It is designed to provide the best performance for the supported Workgroup products and can be used without further configuration of the server.
The architecture when using an InfoWorks Standard Workgroup database is shown below.
A Standard Workgroup database will be located on a suitable server running the Workgroup Server. The default location varies according to the operating system and local configuration. Usually, files will be stored in the following location: “C:\ProgramData\ Innovyze\SNumbatData”.
The default path in versions of the server prior to 2.0 had “MWH Soft” rather than “Innovyze” in the path. Note that if you are upgrading from an earlier version and have an existing “MWH Soft” directory this will continue to be used and an Innovyze one will not be created
The data for each database exists in a separate folder below this location (identified by the database name).
The files that make up the database should not be modified outside of the Workgroup Client software, unless you are directed to do so by Autodesk support.
Only the Workgroup Server process needs access to these data files. For best performance they should be located on a disk local to the machine running the Workgroup Server. It is not recommended to put these files on a network file share.
