Use of the %SRVDIR% Variable

*SERVER's working directory %SRVDIR% is provided at the start of a server job to allow post-processing of data that has been created in the processing steps before. Files which are stored here can be used as source files for further server processing steps, e.g. for distribution. The directory is specified in the default settings of the *SERVER module under menu item 80 of the i-effect start menu.
