Depending on the Eclipse release you are running, the EDI files are located in different locations. Use the following information to determine where to find active and archived EDI files, based on your release.
For sites on 8040.4 or later, EDI files are located in the following directories:
Active EDI files - /u2/eclipse
Archive files - /u2/edi
If you have a multiple-account Eclipse box, for example you have both Eclipse and Train accounts on one box, the system stores the archive files in account-specific directories, such as /u2/edi/eclipse and /u2/edi/train.
By default, all active and archived EDI files are backed up nightly. However, the inactive archives can grow quite large and increase the time it takes to backup the directories. On high-volume EDI sites, a nightly backup can take several hours because the inactive archives have grown in size. If needed, Eclipse can change your nightly backup script to exclude the /u2/edi directory. You can schedule special backups to include only the /u2/edi directory. For example, you may decide that your site needs to only backup inactive files once a month.
Release 8040.4 and later also includes an EDI file purge utility you can use to purge the archive directory of files that you no longer need.
Prior to the changes in 8040.4, EDI files could be placed in several different locations. As the EDI product has evolved and we have tracked how files are used, Eclipse has changed where the EDI files should be located. If you are running Eclipse Release 8040.3 or earlier, contact EDI Support to determine where your EDI files are located.
If your backups are taking too long, you can contact Eclipse for an upgrade to 8040.4 or higher, giving you the ability to purge old files or exclude the archive files from the nightly backups, if needed.
On Windows systems, all EDI files are backed up nightly by default and are located in the following directories::
Active files - \edi\edi
Archive files - \edi\arch
