Default installation paths

The default directory locations into which the Installation Wizard installs WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment can be different depending on whether you install the product on a clean server or on one with an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server, or WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Default installation directory on a clean server

Start of change
Draft comment:
I replaced the version numbers following WAS and WAS ND with "supported version."
The following list shows the default installation locations into which the Installation Wizard installs both WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment when there is not an existing installation of a supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment:
  • Icon indicating AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServer
  • Icon indicating HP-UX platforms Icon indicating Solaris platforms
    Start of change On HP-UX and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating 6.0.1 content only
    Start of changeOn Linux platforms: /opt/ibm/WebSphere/ProcServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating 6.0.0 content only
    Start of change On Linux platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\ProcServer
End of change

Default installation directory when an installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment exists

Draft comment:
I replaced the version numbers following WAS and WAS ND with "supported version."
When an installation of a supported version of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment exists on a server, WebSphere Process Server is installed into the same location. For instance, if WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment exists in the following directory, WebSphere Process Server will be installed into this same location (WebSphere Process Server extends WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment):
  • Icon indicating AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
  • Icon indicating HP-UX platforms Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating Solaris platforms
    Start of change On HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer
End of change

Default installation directory when a WebSphere Process Server installation exists

When an installation of WebSphere Process Server 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 Process Server exists in the following default directory:
  • Icon indicating AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServer
  • Icon indicating HP-UX platforms Icon indicating Solaris platforms
    Start of change On HP-UX and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating 6.0.1 content only
    Start of changeOn Linux platforms: /opt/ibm/WebSphere/ProcServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating 6.0.0 content only
    Start of change On Linux platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServerEnd of change
  • Icon indicating Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\ProcServer
and you then run the Installation Wizard a second time, the wizard will offer the following default installation location for the second product installation on the Installation location panel:
  • Icon indicating AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServer1
  • Icon indicating HP-UX platforms Icon indicating Solaris platforms
    Start of change On HP-UX and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServer1End of change
  • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating 6.0.1 content only
    Start of changeOn Linux platforms: /opt/ibm/WebSphere/ProcServer1End of change
  • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating 6.0.0 content only
    Start of change On Linux platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ProcServer1End of change
  • Icon indicating Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\ProcServer1
Important: This scenario assumes that a second installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment without WebSphere Process Server already installed over it does not exist on the server. If one does, you can install WebSphere Process Server into that same directory (/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer for instance) or you can install a new installation of both WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment into the directories as listed previously.

Definition of install_root

The variable install_root is used throughout the documentation to refer to the installation location of WebSphere Process Server. WebSphere Process Server will always be installed in the same location as the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation with which it is associated.

Definition of profile_root

The variable profile_root is used throughout the documentation to refer to the installation location of a WebSphere Process Server profile. By default, its location is install_root/profiles/profile_name on Linux and UNIX platforms and install_root\profiles\profile_name on Windows platforms.
