IBM Business Monitor, V8.0.1 > Reference

Directory conventions

This topic defines the default paths and folder names of the IBM Business Monitor product and product components.

Because your file paths might vary from the default file paths that are determined during product installation, the documentation identifies these values as variables. The variables used throughout the documentation are defined in the following sections.


Installation image

Installation image refers to the file structure on a product CD or the file structure created locally as a result of either copying the product CD or uncompressing the software packages that you downloaded from Passport Advantage or other distribution area.

monitor_installation_image

Represents the IBM Business Monitor installation image.

toolkit_installation_image

Represents the Business Monitor development toolkit installation image.


Default installation locations

When install software and do not specify an installation location, the installation program uses a default location to install the product in. This location is called the default installation directory. These paths are defined as variables throughout the documentation because a user might or might not choose to install products in the default directory and the default directory structure can vary by operating system.

  • Solaris: /opt/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer
  • Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer

Tip: For Windows installations, keep the path as short as possible. Otherwise, you might run into problems later when the paths of other components, when added to this path, exceed the 255-character path limit.
