WBIA directories, files, and environment variables

Installer creates a number of directories, files, and environment variables depending on the selections you made while running Installer.

WBIA directories and files

After the installation is complete, you can view the file system and its contents. Table 12 lists some of the directories you might need to know about. The folders and files created vary depending on the choices made during the installation and on the operating system.

This directory contains sample script files for creating and clearing WebSphere MQ queues.

If your integration broker is one of the supported message brokers or WebSphere Application Server, see your broker implementation guide for more information on using these scripts.

If your integration broker is WebSphere InterChange Server, see the installation guide for InterChange Server on the appropriate platform.

Tools

This directory contains the WSWB203 directory, which in turn contains the installation of WebSphere Studio Workbench if you chose to install it.

Environment variables

If you chose one of the supported message brokers or WebSphere Application Server as your broker, Installer takes the actions described in Table 13 to create and update environment variables on the computer. These actions are not taken if you chose WebSphere InterChange Server as your integration broker, because the environment variables required for that broker are created during installation of the broker itself.

Table 13. Actions taken by Installer for environment variables

Environment variable name Installer action
CROSSWORLDS

Creates this environment variable to reference the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters product directory, as specified when using Installer.

MQ_LIB

Creates this environment variable to contain the path to the Java\lib directory within the WebSphere MQ installation, as specified when using Installer.

PATH Adds the following entries:

ProductDir\jre\bin\classic;
ProductDir\bin;
ProductDir\bin\connectors;

SM_PATH Creates this environment variable to contain the path to the installation of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition or WebSphere Studio Workbench into which the tools plug-ins are installed.
