File Locations

The software includes several groups of files used for installation, configuration, and administration. These groups are implemented differently in USS and PDS deployments:

Supplied Files Location (EDAHOME)

The programs and related files are stored in a location referred to as EDAHOME. The installation process copies the software into EDAHOME.

  • In PDS deployment, EDAHOME defaults to the following partitioned data sets:
    high_level_qualifier.P.HOME.component_type

    where:

    high_level_qualifier

    Is the high-level qualifier for HOME.DATA and for all other data sets that the installation procedure allocates. We recommend that the high-level qualifier reflect the release of the software (for example, IADMIN.SRV93). However, you can use any site-specific value.

    component_type

    Designates the type of server component. The values are:

    Component TypeDescription
    ETC

    Script and text files.

    BIN

    Binary-based object files.

    ACX

    Server Access Files.

    MAS

    Server Master Files.

    FEX

    Server procedure (FOCEXEC) files.

    ERR

    Error files.

    LOAD

    Load library.

Configuration Files Location (EDACONF)

The configuration files are stored in a location referred to as EDACONF. Each configured instance has its own EDACONF, which controls the behavior of that instance.

  • In PDS deployment, EDACONF defaults to the following partitioned data sets:
    high_level_qualifier.WFS.CONF.config_type

    where:

    high_level_qualifier

    Is the high-level qualifier for HOME.DATA and for all other data sets that the installation procedure allocates. We recommend that the high-level qualifier reflect the release of the software (for example, IADMIN.SRV9293). However, you can use any site-specific value.

    config_type

    Designates the type of configuration file.

    The primary configuration file is CFG.

    The WebFOCUS Reporting Server deferred execution configuration files are DEL, RPE, RPF, RPO, RQD, RQF, RQO, and RQP.

Profile Files Location

Server profiles are stored in the following location:

  • In PDS deployment, the location is the following partitioned data set
    high_level_qualifier.WFS.CONF.PRF

    where:

    high_level_qualifier

    Is the high-level qualifier for HOME.DATA and for all other data sets that the installation procedure allocates. We recommend that the high-level qualifier reflect the release of the software (for example, IADMIN.SRV93). However, you can use any site-specific value.

    This PDS is allocated in ddname EDAPROF in the server JCL.

Administration Files Location

The file that specifies server administrators is located in:

  • In PDS deployment, the location is member ADMIN of the following partitioned data set
    high_level_qualifier.WFS.CONF.CFG

    where:

    high_level_qualifier

    Is the high-level qualifier for HOME.DATA and for all other data sets that the installation procedure allocates. We recommend that the high-level qualifier reflect the release of the software (for example, IADMIN.SRV93). However, you can use any site-specific value.

    This PDS is allocated to ddname EDACFG in the server JCL.

Application Files Location (APPROOT)

The server application files are stored in a location referred to as APPROOT. APPROOT might be shared by multiple applications.

  • In PDS deployment, APPROOT defaults to the following partitioned data sets:
    approot.appname.type.DATA

    where:

    approot

    Designates the root qualifier for the server applications.

    appname

    Designates the name of the application. There is one appname qualifier for each application.

    type

    Designates the type of application component. The values are:

    TypeDescription
    ACCESS

    Access Files.

    ETG

    ibi Data Migrator flow information.

    FOCEXEC

    Procedure files.

    FTM

    Temporary files.

    GIF

    Image files (both GIF and JPG).

    HTML

    HTML files.

    MAINTAIN

    Maintain files.

    MASTER

    Master Files.

    WINFORMS

    Forms.

    DTD

    XML DTD files.

    FOCCOMP

    FOCCOMP files.

    FOCSTYLE

    Stylesheet files.

    SQL

    SQL files.

    XML

    XML files.

    XSD

    XML XSD files.

    FOCUS

    FOCUS data files.

Two applications are generated automatically during installation: IBISAMP and BASEAPP, a default application space.
