WAS environment variables 




Unless you change the directory paths during the installation, a set of default IBM® WebSphere® Application Server environment variables are defined for the IBM Connections application directories. These variables are referenced from the configuration files associated with the applications.

The following tables list the default environment variables defined for application directories on WAS, and for the customization base directory.

Note: It is common practice for production deployments to use more than one shared content store to avoid issues when all the applications attempt to read or write to the same attached device. In this scenario, you might need to change the environment variables to match your deployment. When doing so, you need to update the properties in the IBM Connections configuration engine at the same time; otherwise, the utility for export/import will not function properly. For more information about IBM Connections configuration engine properties, see ConfigEngine properties.

*Shared content must be accessible (read/write) by all nodes in a cluster. The shared content store must reside in a shared repository that grants read-write access to the dmgr and all the nodes. Use one of the following methods to create a shared data directory:

Note: With version 3, all variables changed from being server-level variables to being cell-level variables. Variables having a server level scope are more granular than those with a node or cell level scope.

Both shared and local content stores must be accessible using the same path from all nodes and the deployment manager.
