1.3 Directory Structure
As a focal point, you may be required to configure the large set of XML files defining the configuration of CHPS.
The CHPS Config directory is typically located in the /awips/chps_share/ or for a Stand Alone instance, the /awips/chps_share/sa/YOURFOLDER directory.
Each of these files is contained in a set of directories, which hold different parts of the configuration.
If the system does not locate the Config directory, an error message appears and the system stops.
