Directory conventions

References in product information to app_server_root, profile_root, and other directories infer specific default directory locations. This topic describes the conventions in use for WebSphere Application Server.

Default product locations

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_server_root - the install_root for WebSphere Application Server
The default installation root directory for WebSphere Application Server - Express is the /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Express directory.
app_client_root
The default installation root directory for the J2EE WebSphere Application Client is the /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppClient/V61/client directory.
app_client_user_data_root
The default J2EE WebSphere Application Client user data root is the /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppClient/V61/client directory.
app_client_profile_root
The default J2EE WebSphere Application Client profile root is the /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppClient/V61/client/profiles/profile_name directory.
cip_app_server_root
The default installation root directory is the /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Express/cip/cip_uid directory for a customized installation package (CIP) produced by the Installation Factory.

A CIP is a WebSphere Application Server - Express product bundled with optional maintenance packages, an optional configuration archive, one or more optional enterprise archive files, and other optional files and scripts.

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.
plugins_root
The default installation root directory for Web server plug-ins is the /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/Plugins/V61/webserver directory.

profile_root
The default directory for a profile named profile_name for WebSphere Application Server - Express is the /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Express/profiles/profile_name directory.
shared_product_library

product_library
product_lib
This is the product library for the installed product. The product library for each Version 6.1 installation on the system contains the program and service program objects (similar to .exe, .dll, .so objects) for the installed product. The product library name is QWAS61x (where x is A, B, C, and so on). The product library for the first WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 product installed on the system is QWAS61A. The app_server_root/properties/product.properties file contains the value for the product library of the installation located under the app_server_root directory.
updi_root
The default installation root directory for the Update Installer for WebSphere Software is the /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/V61/updi directory.
