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 5 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.

Table 5. WebSphere Business Integration Adapter directories
Directory name Contents
_jvm
This directory contains the Java Runtime files.
Note:
If you are upgrading from a previous version of WBIA, the existing directory name is retained from that release.
_uninst_adapter
This directory contains files that are required to uninstall an adapter. For example, the directory named _uninst_JDBC contains files that are required to uninstall the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for JDBC.

For more information on uninstalling WebSphere Business Integration Adapters products, see Uninstalling WebSphere Business Integration Adapters products.

Note:
If you are upgrading from a previous version of WBIA, the existing directory name is retained from that release.
_uninstZip

This directory contains log files about tool plug-ins.

bin
This directory contains the executable files and shell scripts that the business integration adapters use.
connectors
This directory contains files specific to each adapter in the system. It also contains adapter-specific files that you may need to install in the application that the adapter supports.
docs
This directory contains the license file for the Java Runtime Environment.
installLogs
This directory contains log files about the installation of WebSphere Business Integration Adapters products.
lib
This directory contains shared libraries and .jar files for the system.
license_adapter
This directory contains the license files for an adapter. For example, the directory named _license_JDBC contains the license files for the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for JDBC.
logs
This directory is provided to contain log and trace files.
connector\messages
This directory contains message text files used by the connectors to generate log and trace messages.
oda\messages
This directory contains message text files used by the ODAs.
ODA
This directory contains the .jar and .bat files for each Object Discovery Agent.
repository
This directory contains the connector definition files.
templates
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.

jdk
If you apply fix pack 2.6.0.3, this directory contains IBM Java Development Kit 1.4.2 sr1.

Environment variables

If you chose one of the supported message brokers or WebSphere Application Server as your broker on a Windows system, Installer takes the actions described in Table 6 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 6. Actions taken by Installer for environment variables
Environment variable name Installer action
MQ_LIB

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

MQ_LIB_RUNTIME Contains the location of the MQ Java library, avoiding conflict withe the MQ_LIB environment variable that is set by ICS.
PATH Adds the following entries:

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

WAS_CLIENT_HOME The adapter framework sets this variable to the WAS client install location directory. If a WAS is not configured as the integration broker, this variable is set to null.
WBIA_RUNTIME Creates this environment variable to contain the path to the installation of the adapter framework.
