Profile root directory

A profile root directory is the place to store master profiles and the local shared profiles.
Multiple profile root directories can coexist.

Master profiles

Any Jeyzer installation contains 4 profile root directories for the master profiles :

  • profiles/external/master : proprietary master profiles
    This is the default place to store your master applicative profiles.
    As applicative master profiles should be stored in a SCM repository, this directory should be simply an extracted version of it.
  • profiles/demo/master : demo master profiles
  • profiles/base/master : open source master profiles
  • profiles/base/helper : helper master profiles

The profile root directories must be referenced in the JEYZER_ANALYZER_PROFILES_DIR_ROOTS environment variable.
This is making it accessible by the Jeyzer Web Analyzer.

Shared profiles

Any Jeyzer installation contains 3 profile root directories for the local shared profiles :

  • profiles/external/shared : proprietary shared profiles
    This is the default place to store your shared profiles
  • profiles/demo/shared : demo shared profiles
    It contains the jeyzer-demo-shared profile.
  • profiles/base/shared : open source shared profiles

Remember that the shared profiles are accessed in priority from a remote profile repository.
The local repository should contain a copy of the remote ones (like for the base shared profiles).
