The Explorer GUI has an embedded scripting engine that executes command requests to the DIF started tasks and issues SQL queries to the optional database tier. The scripts delivered with the application are located in a user's local data profile hidden in the My Documents folder. Installation scripts can be developed and placed wherever convenient. For example, scripts developed by an installation can be shared by placing them in a location available to all the Explorer GUI users.
The script files have an extension name of .ecd.
