Running rap_flap_start.sh starts a process that continually monitors an inbound data directory ($RAP_IN). When new data arrives, load scripts compare the contents of the inbound directory against the archive ($RAP_ARCH), and link any new files to the input ($RAP_DATA and $IQ_DIR) and archive directories.
A corresponding monitor moves the data to active directories ($RAP_DATA/active and $IQ_DIR/active), where a child process loads the data into the in-memory cache of the RAPCache database and the VLDB database. Log and error files generated by the load operation are placed in the appropriate log directories ($RAP_DATA/log and $IQ_DIR/log).
