Installation and Configuration Directories

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:

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):

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.
