| paul@1093 | 3 | The data store for imip-agent holds calendar data and free/busy information. |
| paul@1093 | 4 | The following data store types exist: |
| paul@1093 | 5 | |
| paul@1093 | 6 | * A [[../FileStore|file store]] employing textual files in the filesystem |
| paul@1093 | 7 | |
| paul@1093 | 8 | * A [[../DatabaseStore|database store]] employing database tables managed |
| paul@1093 | 9 | by a database management system |
| paul@1093 | 10 | |
| paul@1093 | 11 | For simplicity, the file store is the default storage mechanism for imip-agent, |
| paul@1093 | 12 | but the database store is provided as an alternative where different operating |
| paul@1093 | 13 | characteristics are desired. |
| paul@1093 | 14 | |
| paul@1214 | 15 | The [[../Configuration|configuration]] files (`config.sh` and `config.txt`) need |
| paul@1093 | 16 | updating to reflect the choice of data store, with the directory parameters |
| paul@1093 | 17 | set to appropriate values for the chosen store type. |
