References in product information to install_root, user_data_root, profile_root, updi_root,
and cip_proc_server_root, represent specific default directory
locations for the product installation, profile configuration files,
and tools. This topic describes the conventions in use for WebSphere® ESB. The
meaning of these variables can differ based on whether you are installing
the product on a clean server or on one with an existing installation
of WebSphere Application
Server, WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, or WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus. They can also differ depending on whether you are performing
the installation as a root (Administrator on a Windows® system) or non-root user.
Default directories on a clean server
The
following tables show the default installation locations of WebSphere ESB, WebSphere ESB profiles,
the Update Installer for WebSphere Software,
and a customized installation package (CIP) produced by the Installation
Factory, when there is not an existing installation of any
other WebSphere product.
Table 1 shows the default
installation root directory into which the installation wizard installs
both
WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment for both root (Administrator) and non-root users:

Table 3 shows
the default installation directory for the Update Installer for WebSphere Software for both
root (Administrator) and non-root users:


On Linux, UNIX,
and Windows platforms: Table 4 shows the
default installation directory for both root (Administrator) and non-root
users for a customized installation package (CIP) produced by the
Installation Factory. The
cip_uid variable is the
CIP unique ID generated during creation of the build definition file.
You can override the generated value in the Build definition wizard.
Use a unique value to allow multiple CIPs to install on the system.

Default directories when an installation of WebSphere Application Server
or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment exists
When an installation of
a supported version of WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment exists on a server and you elect to install
WebSphere ESB on
top of it,
WebSphere ESB is
installed into the same location.
Table 6 shows the default
installation root directory in such a case for both root (Administrator)
and non-root users:
Default directories for profile_root, updi_root,
and cip_proc_server_root are handled similarly.

directories for the i5/OS platform.

Default directories when a WebSphere ESB installation
exists
When an installation of
WebSphere ESB exists
on a server, if you run the installation wizard to initiate a second
installation of the product, the installation wizard detects the existing
installation and appends a number to the second default directory.
For instance, if
WebSphere ESB exists
in the default directory
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/ESB and you then
run the installation wizard a second time, the wizard will offer the
default installation location of
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/ESB1 for the second
product installation on the Installation location panel.
Table 8 shows the default
installation root directory in such a case for both root (Administrator)
and non-root users:

Important: This scenario assumes that a second
installation of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment without WebSphere ESB already
installed over it does not exist on the server. If one does,
you can install WebSphere ESB into
that same directory (/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer for
instance) or you can install a new installation of both WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment into the directories as listed previously.
