Installation and Configuration Directories On UNIX/Linux

The installation process creates these high-level directories. The locations documented here often use 93 within location names or when discussing the release level. However, this number might vary for your particular installation and use an alternate level.

Name Environment Variable and Description Default Path
Home directory EDAHOME: Stores the server software programs and other files. 
ibi/srv93/home

Must conform to the following pattern.

*/ibi/srv93*/home*
Configuration directory

EDACONF: Stores the configuration files.

If you are configuring multiple instances of the server, create separate configuration directories for each by adding a suffix (for example, a number) to the end of the directory name.

 
ibi/srv93/product_type

Must conform to the following pattern.

*/ibi/srv93*/product_type*

Product type can be:

  • WFS for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server
Application directory APPROOT: Contains your application files. 
ibi/apps
Profiles directory EDAPRFU: Stores the user and group profiles and the admin.cfg file (which specifies the server administrator). 
ibi/profiles

Multiple WebFOCUS Reporting Servers

If you plan to install multiple copies of WebFOCUS on the same computer, and you want to provide each copy with its own WebFOCUS Reporting Server, you might to maintain a separate root directory for each copy, so that you can keep copies of each set of components, including the server, together in the same path.

You can specify a separate apps directory for each copy of WebFOCUS, or specify a single apps directory to be shared by all copies of WebFOCUS.
