WebSphere® ESB for z/OS® product and installation code resides in z/OS partitioned data sets (the product data sets) and z/OS USS file system directories (either HFS or zFS file systems).
All WebSphere ESB for z/OS product files reside in the installation file system directory and its subdirectories. The installation file system for WebSphere ESB is defined when you unload the product code from the installation media (Phase 1 of the installation process). The installation file system is typically mounted read-only.
The default location of the WebSphere ESB installation file system is /usr/lpp/zWESB/V6R1.
The location of the WebSphere ESB installation file system is different from the location of the WebSphere Application Server installation file system; the default location of the WebSphere Application Server installation file system is /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V6R1.
The product directory and all of its subdirectories must reside in the same hierarchical file system (HFS) or zSeries® file system (zFS) data set. The installation jobs and program directory assume that a data set is allocated to be used for WebSphere ESB, separate from the z/OS root or version data set. The sample jobs to create either a zFS or HFS file system are supplied in hlq.SBPZJCL, members BSBALZFS and BSBALHFS. One of these two jobs is run during installation by your system programmer.
Each WebSphere ESB for z/OS application serving environment (stand-alone application server node or Network Deployment cell) has configuration files in one or more WebSphere Application Server configuration directories. These configuration directories contain symbolic links to files in the product directory.
The default location of the configuration directories is /WebSphere/V6R1M0, so the location of the Deployment Manager configuration files might be /WebSphere/V6R1M0/DeploymentManager/config/bin.
