CONTENT
This article describes the directories within local Atoms, Molecules, and Private Atom Cloud runtimes and is provided as an informational reference for
administrators.
IMPORTANT
Whenever available you should always make configuration changes and access data and execution history through the AtomSphere user interface to ensure
data integrity.
Unless specifically instructed to do so, note that modifying files in the local directories may result in the runtime becoming corrupted and non-operational.
Unless specifically documented, note that file names, data formats, and the directory structure itself are not guaranteed and may change without notice.
