The Data Federation Workspace

The workspace is the directory in which WorkSpace Data Federation stores the files associated with your projects. In the workspace directory, Data Federation creates a subdirectory for each project.

Files of the following types can be found in a workspace project directory:

Filename extension	Purpose
.amm	WorkSpace Data Federation creates a .amm file for each metadata model.
.avm	WorkSpace Data Federation creates a .avm file for each view model.
.js	WorkSpace Dat Federation creates a JavaScript (.js) file for each view model; the .js file has the same base name as the model’s .avm file. The JavaScript file is the executable form of the view model. When the view model is deployed as a data service, the JavaScript file is sometimes called the data service plug-in. JavaScript plug-in files are stored in the \bin subdirectory of the workspace project directory.
.jsi	You create a JavaScript include (.jsi) file if you have JavaScript functions that you want to invoke in your view model. Give the .jsi file the same base name as the model’s .avm file.
.project	Eclipse Workbench creates a .project file for each project in the project directory. (Files whose names begin with a . might not be visible to you, depending on your Eclipse filter settings.)
