TEAMS-RDS uses the Database for persistent storage of information such as models, session logs, and user information.
The file system is used to accelerate the performance (e.g., models are retrieved from database and saved in %RDS_BASE%\models for access by the reasoner and search indices are compiled and saved in %RDS_BASE%\search). The contents of these directories can be recreated from the database on startup, and are refreshed whenever the information in the database changes. However, no changes in these directories are ever pushed back to the database.
