Directory structure

The topic shows the naming conventions that are used to denote the location of files on the servers and the types of resources we can find in those directories.

PortalServer_root

Throughout this documentation, the installation location for the portal server component of HCL WebSphere Portal is noted as PortalServer_root.

For the IBM i operating system, an extra variable is used to indicate the user data directory. The user data directory is noted as PortalServer_root_user. The following information shows the default location if it is not otherwise specified during installation:

AIX

/usr/HCL/WebSphere/PortalServer

HP-UX

/opt/HCL/WebSphere/PortalServer

IBM i

• portal_server_root (ProdData)
  • /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/PortalServer/V85/product offering
  • /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/PortalServer/V85/<product offering>

  Where product offering is Server or Express

• PortalServer_root_user (UserData)

  • WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 for Network Deployment:
    • /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/ND/profiles/wp_profile/PortalServer

wp_profile_root

Throughout this documentation, the profile location is noted as wp_profile_root. The following information shows the default profile location if another location is not specified during installation:
