Location of Files on a BPM Runtime Machine

This topic provides information about the location of files on the BPM runtime machine. These paths can be used when you choose to directly modify the files for the Workspace application.

Note that you cannot directly modify the files in a custom WCC application that has been deployed because the specific location in the file system in which the WCC application is deployed is indeterminable—it contains GUIDs determined at deployment time.

There are actually two locations in which the BPM files (including Workspace files) are installed. They are:

  • TIBCO Configuration Home - This is where the BPM runtime files are stored. Making changes to Workspace files in this path affects the current runtime system (this is shown in Windows format—it is the same in UNIX, except for the direction of the slashes):
    %config_home%\tibcohost\Admin-environmentName-adminServer\data_3.2.x\host\plugins\com.tibco.n2.rtc.ws_Version\resources\

    where:

    • %config_home% is the root directory for BPM runtime files. This can be specified during the installation. On Windows systems, this defaults to: C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\data; on UNIX systems, this defaults to: /opt/tibco/data.
    • environmentName - The name of the BPM environment. This can be specified during the installation.
    • adminServer - The name of the TIBCO Administrator server. This can be specified during the installation.
    • Version is the specific version of the Workspace software installed.
      Note: The \ProgramData directory is hidden by default on Windows Server 2008.
  • TIBCO Installation Home - This is the shared plug-in component store. The files in this location are used when a new node is created with the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT). Making changes to Workspace files in this path affects only new nodes that are created in the future using the TCT (this is shown in Windows format—it is the same in UNIX, except for the direction of the slashes):
    %tibco_home%\components\shared\1.0.0\plugins\com.tibco.n2.rtc.
ws_Version\resources

    where:

    • %tibco_home% is the root directory for installation home. This can be specified during the installation. On Windows systems, this defaults to: C:\tibco\amx-bpm; on UNIX, this defaults to /opt/tibco.
    • Version is the specific version of the Workspace software installed.
