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.
