PayGlobal application folder

This folder contains the PayGlobal executables:

HR.exe:

The core PayGlobal application.

STARTPAYGLOBAL.exe:

Used to start PayGlobal up. Is useful, in particular, in a multiple executable set-up. Short-cuts should point to this executable.

PAYGLOBALSCHEDULESERVER.exe:

This executable ensures that Scheduling tasks run independently of the database. This application runs in the background so that automated tasks can run from PayGlobal without having to actually run PayGlobal.

PAYGLOBALSCHEDULESERVICE.exe:

This executable ensures that Scheduling tasks can be database- independent. Like PayGlobalScheduleServer.exe, this application runs in the background in order to run automated tasks within PayGlobal without having to actually run PayGlobal.

The difference between this and PayGlobalScheduleServer.exe is that this application runs as a “service”, ie is compatible with WINNT and WIN2000 only.

PGPROCESSING.exe:

This executable runs separately to HR.exe, and is responsible for processing Standard Pays, Actual Pays and Roster Pays mainly. It is designed to be called from within PayGlobal. Running this executable directly will perform certain checks to ensure that scheduling will function correctly.

PGREPORTS.exe:

Runs the Report Services.

The application folder contains the following folders:

Image:

Contains the PayGlobal graphics, including various jpg and avi files.

It includes a file called PayGlobal.jpg – this is the PayGlobal logo that appears on the Grid when the program is launched. You can make a copy of this file, and then rename your logo with this name so that your company logo appears on the Grid.

Log:

The PayGlobal Program error logs as text files.

Rept:

This folder contains report definition files. Report files are made up of three possible data types: rif, rsf and rtm. All reports have a rif component (this is a text file), but only report designer reports have the rsf and rtm data types. Hard-coded reports will only ever have a rif file.

Resource:

Contains the HTMLHelp.chm (the help file).

Workflow:

The Workflow Definition files.

Ini Files

Bank.ini

The bank.ini file is located in the application folder.

HR.ini

The application folder also contains the HR.ini file as well as dll, bpl files etc.

Note: This applies only if you install PayGlobal to the default location C:\Program Files\PayGlobal. If you have more than one version of PayGlobal, you can configure one HR.ini file for all versions.

Data Folder

The data sub-folder is in the application folder, if you install PayGlobal to the default location. The data folder contains the following folders:

Backup:

Contains data backups, providing this folder has been specified in hr.ini. If not specified, then backups are stored on the SQL Server.

Clock:

Contains the clocks.ini file as well as clocking import files.

Export:

Unless specifically over-ridden, any files exported out of PayGlobal will be in this folder.

Import:

Import files can be placed in this folder, so when setting up a synchronisation import in PayGlobal, there is no need to specify a path as it uses this folder as a default.

Log:

Contains all logs such as integrity checks, open pay, process pay, close pay etc.

Perm:

ini files such as user information, daily view layouts and SQL files (PG.udl and SQL.dat).

Rept:

The report definition files. If a report definition file is held here as well as in the Rept sub-folder in the application folder, then PayGlobal will always use the report definition located here in the data folder.

Scheduling:

This folder contains the ini file that is created when changing scheduling information.

Temp:

Temporary files are created here during report processing. These files are automatically deleted once they are 24 hours old.

Workflow:

Workflow definition files. If a workflow definition file is held here as well as in the Workflow sub-folder in the application folder, PayGlobal will always use the workflow definition located here in the data\workflow folder.
