Directory names related to the server installation and configuration cannot include spaces, since that can cause incorrect operation, such as files not being found. The recommended default is drive:\ibi as a top-level directory. If your organization has an establish, alternate top-level directory for third-party software with this same requirement, it is valid to install under that location. For example, you could use drive:\thirdparty\ibi as a top-level directory.
The installation process creates these high-level directories:
drive:\ibi\srv77\home[suffix]
where:
Is the hard drive on which the directory resides.
Is optional when installing and maintaining a single copy of the server. It is required if installing and maintaining multiple copies (for example, multiple server maintenance releases) to ensure that each installed server has a uniquely-named home directory.
drive:\ibi\srv77\server_type[suffix]
where:
Is the hard drive on which the directory resides.
Designates the type of server. The default values are:
FFS | for a Full-Function Server. |
DM | for a DataMigrator Server. |
WFS | for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server. |
WFM | for a Shared Application Server for WebFOCUS Maintain. |
Is optional for an initial default installation and configuration. This is required when configuring additional instances of the server. You must add a suffix to the directory name to ensure that each server instance has a uniquely-named configuration directory. In the following example, for an additional instance of a Full-Function Server, the suffix 002 has been added:
c:\ibi\srv77\ffs002
drive:\ibi\apps
where:
Is the hard drive on which the directory resides.
Security for application directories is handled at the operating system level. To avoid any possibility of these directories being accessed inappropriately by means of APP commands (such as APP DELETE AppDirName), use directory security to set the appropriate permissions on these directories.
drive:\ibi\profiles
where:
Is the hard drive on which the directory resides.
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 may wish to maintain a separate ibi root directory for each copy, so that you can keep the components of each copy (including the server) together in the same path.
For example, if you want to install two copies of WebFOCUS, one for testing and one for production, you could create a wfTest directory and a wfProd directory. They would include the following subdirectories (this is a partial list):
c:\wfTest\ibi\srv77\home (server home directory)
c:\wfTest\ibi\srv77\wfs (server configuration directory)
c:\wfTest\ibi\WebFOCUS77 (WebFOCUS product components directory)
c:\wfProd\ibi\srv77\home (server home directory)
c:\wfProd\ibi\srv77\wfs (server configuration directory)
c:\wfProd\ibi\WebFOCUS77 (WebFOCUS product components directory)
You could provide a separate apps directory for each copy of WebFOCUS, or specify a single apps directory to be shared by all copies of WebFOCUS.
