# Define the AFP Database

When you perform any AFP operations, you must specify the AFP database to use. You can specify the database in two different ways:

- Set the `Pack` and `PackDir` action parameters when you send an action

  `Pack` | The name of the database.
  `PackDir` | The path to the directory that contains the database files. If this directory does not already exist, manually create it before you send the action. If the database does not yet exist, HPE IDOL Speech Server creates the database in this directory.

- Define the database in the tasks configuration file, and then set the `AfpDb` action parameter to the name of this configuration section when you send an action
