confusion with mdc file location

[nsaxena]

Hi All ,
In my project ,most of the applications ,powerplay datasource connection is pointing to mdc file which is in publish folder(\\server_name\cube\publish\ ) and we have one more mdc file which is under \\server_name\cube\ path. (one above the lublish folder). But the mdc file under publish is of old timestamp always as compared to mdc file under \\server_name\cube\ .
But datasource connections are pointing to mdc file under publish folder. I want to understand what i am missing. For me mdc file with latest timestamp when we refresh the cube should be holding latest data.

Below are steps transformer perform when we refresh the cube: (hoping you can figure what is happening)

Creating directory '\\server_name\cube\publish\cube name'.
Copying '\\server_name\cube\cube name\cube name.mdc' to '\\server_name\cube\cube name\publish\cube name\cube name.mdc'.
Renaming '\\server_name\cube\cube name\publish\cube name' to '\\server_name\cube\cube anme\publish\cube name__20160322175306'.
Deleting '\\server_name\cube\cube name\publish\cube name__20160322174749.ver'.
Creating version file '\\server_name\cube\cube name\publish\cube name__20160322175306.ver'.
Deployment 'cube name__20160322174102' has been removed from destination '\\server_name\cube\cube name\publish'.
(TR3818) PowerCube 'cube name' has been deployed to version 'cube name__20160322175306'.


Please suggest what i am missing in my understanding.

My guess is that one is the real cube and one is a stub file for the cube, which does not change.
