Directory conventions for the REST data service

This topic describes many examples and command-line syntax that must reference special directories such as wxs_install_root, and wxs_home. These directories are defined as follows and are displayed throughout in italics.

wxs_install_root
The wxs_install_root directory is the root directory where WebSphere eXtreme Scale product files are installed. This can be the directory in which the trial zip file is extracted or the directory in which the eXtreme Scale product is installed.
  • Example when extracting the trial:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale

  • Example when eXtreme Scale is installed to a stand-alone directory:

    /opt/IBM/eXtremeScale

  • Example when eXtreme Scale is integrated with WebSphere Application Server:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer

wxs_home
The wxs_home directory is the root directory of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale product libraries, samples and components. This is the same as the wxs_install_root directory when the trial is extracted. For standalone installations, this is the ObjectGrid sub-directory within the wxs_install_root. For installations that are integrated with WebSphere Application Server, this directory is the optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid directory within wxs_install_root.
  • Example when extracting the trial:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale

  • Example when eXtreme Scale is installed to a stand-alone directory:

    /opt/IBM/eXtremeScale/ObjectGrid

  • Example when eXtreme Scale is integrated with WebSphere Application Server:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid

was_root
The was_root directory is the root directory of a WebSphere Application Server installation:

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer

restservice_home
The restservice_home directory is the directory in which the eXtreme Scale REST data service libraries and samples are located.
  • Example for stand-alone deployments:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale/ObjectGrid/restservice

  • Example for WebSphere Application Server integrated deployments:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid/restservice

tomcat_root
The tomcat_root is the root directory of the Apache Tomcat installation.

/opt/tomcat5.5

wasce_root
The wasce_root is the root directory of the WebSphere Application Server Community Edition installation.

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServerCE

java_home
