The
root user or administrator user (on a Windows system) is capable of
registering shared products and installing into system-owned directories.
The following default directories are system-owned directories.
These
file paths are default locations. You can install the product and
other components in any directory where you have write access. You
can create profiles in any valid directory where you have write access.
Multiple installations of WebSphere Application Server products or components require multiple locations.
- app_client_root
- The following default installation root directories are for the
WebSphere Application Client:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient (J2EE
Application client only)
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient (J2EE
Application client only)
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient (J2EE
Application client only)
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient (J2EE
Application client only)
C:\Program
Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient
- app_server_root - the install_root for WebSphere Application Server
- The following list shows default installation root directories
for WebSphere Application Server:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer
- cip_app_server_root
- The following list shows the default installation root directories
for a customized installation package (CIP) created with the Installation
Factory. This differs from cip_root which is the
directory which contains the CIP installation image.
A CIP is a
WebSphere Application Server product bundled
with one or more maintenance packages, an optional configuration archive,
one or more optional enterprise archive files, and other optional
files and scripts:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/cip/cip_uid
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\cip\cip_uid
The cip_uid variable
is the CIP unique ID generated during creation of the build definition
file. You can override the generated value in the Build definition
wizard. Use a unique value to allow multiple CIPs to install on the
system.
- cip_root
- This directory represents the root directory of a CIP created
with the Installation Factory. Because you can create and save a CIP
to any directory on the file system to which you have write access,
this directory's location varies by user. This differs from cip_app_server_root which
is the location of an installed CIP.
- component_root
- The component installation root directory is any installation
root directory described in this topic. Some programs are for use
across multiple components. In particular, the Update Installer for
WebSphere Software is for use with WebSphere Application Server, Web server plug-ins, the Application Client, and
the IBM HTTP Server. All of these components are part of the product
package.
- gskit_root
- The following list shows the default installation root directories
for Version 7 of the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit):
/usr/ibm/gsk7
/opt/ibm/gsk7
/opt/ibm/gsk7
/opt/ibm/gsk7
C:\Program Files\IBM\GSK7
- IF_root
- This directory represents the root directory of IBM Installation
Factory for WebSphere Application Server. Because you can download
and unpack the Installation Factory to any directory on the file system
to which you have write access, this directory's location varies by
user. The Installation Factory is an Eclipse-based tool which creates
installation packages for installing WebSphere Application Server
in a reliable and repeatable way, tailored to your specific needs.
- iip_root
- This directory represents the root directory of an integrated
installation package (IIP) produced with IBM Installation Factory
for WebSphere Application Server. Because you can create and save
an IIP to any directory on the file system to which you have write
access, this directory's location varies by user. An IIP is an aggregated
installation package created with the Installation Factory that can
include one or more generally available installation packages, one
or more customized installation packages (CIPs), and other user-specified
files and directories.
- plugins_root
- The following default installation root is for the Web server
plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server:
/usr/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins
/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins
/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins
/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins
C:\Program Files\IBM\HTTPServer\Plugins
- profile_root
- The following list shows the default directory for a profile named profile_name on
each distributed operating system:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\profile_name
- web_server_root
- The following default installation root directories are for the
IBM HTTP Server:
/usr/IBM/HTTPServer
/opt/IBM/HTTPServer
/opt/IBM/HTTPServer
/opt/IBM/HTTPServer
C:\Program Files\IBM\HTTPServer
- updi_root
- The following list shows the default installation root directories
for the Update Installer for WebSphere Software:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateInstaller
