The share Directory

The share directory contains information that is shared among all installed releases and instances of {cluster_home} and Tungsten Replicator. Unlike other directories, the share directory is not overwritten or replaced during installation or update using tpm. This means that the directory can be used to hold information, such as filter configurations, without the contents being removed when the installation is updated.

The share directory is also used as the default location for all SSL related certificates and keys when security is enabled.
