The TSM directory contains files with the following extensions:
| DBF |
|---|
The main TSM data file. There is one for each table in TSM (e.g. servcard.dbf for job card records).
| FPT |
|---|
Linked to the DBF file of the same name. Contains the memo file (free text) data for each record. Note: Any DBF or FPT file starting with Z is a temporary file and can be deleted if not in use.
| CDX |
|---|
The index file for each table. Indexes are used to sort and access records, and can become corrupt over time. Use the reindex option to delete and recreate these files.
| FT* |
|---|
These hold the data required for Fast text search of TSM records. Reindexing with the Fast Text Search option enabled will delete and recreate these files.
| FRT, FRX |
|---|
Each TSM report consists of a FRT and FRX file. Reports with a number before the extension are customised reports (e.g. SERVN1.FRT), while those without are original TSM reports. LBX and LBT are label equivalents of these files.
| ZIP |
|---|
Backups created by TSM are compressed into a zip format file. Automatic backups are called checkstru*.zip and are done whenever updating or reindexing TSM.
| EXE |
|---|
TSM Program files. TSM.exe is main program file, and must not be in use when upgrading TSM.
| DLL |
|---|
TSM program component files. These files must be registered successfully (by pressing Alt+F8 in TSM) for TSM to function. The TSM.dll file is used by the Accounting Post, Self Service, TSM Live, and TSM Remote.
| OCX |
|---|
Like DLLs these are TSM program component files and must be registered successfully for TSM to function.
| FLL, APP |
|---|
These are Foxpro addons used by TSM to add functionality.
| Misc |
|---|
The unins000.DAT file is used to store uninstall information for the uninstaller.
