Directory conventions
The following directory conventions are used throughout the documentation to reference special directories such as wxs_install_root and wxs_home. You access these directories during several different scenarios, including during installation and use of command-line tools.
- wxs_install_root
- The wxs_install_root directory is the root directory
where WebSphere® eXtreme Scale product files are installed. The
wxs_install_root directory can be the directory in which the
trial archive is extracted or the directory in which the WebSphere eXtreme Scale product is installed.
- Example when extracting the trial:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale
- Example when WebSphere eXtreme Scale is installed to a stand-alone
directory:
Example: /opt/IBM/eXtremeScale
Example: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\eXtremeScale
- Example when WebSphere eXtreme Scale is integrated with WebSphere Application Server:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
- Example when extracting the trial:
- xsld_install_root
- The xsld_install_root directory is the root directory
where WebSphere
eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment product files are installed.
The xsld_install_root directory can be the directory in
which the trial archive is extracted or the directory in which the WebSphere
eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment product is installed.
- Example when WebSphere
eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment is installed to a
stand-alone directory:
Example: /opt/IBM/eXtremeScale
Example: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\eXtremeScale
- Example when WebSphere
eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment is installed to a
stand-alone directory:
- wxs_home
- The wxs_home directory is the root directory of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale product libraries, samples, and components. This
directory is the same as the wxs_install_root directory when
the trial is extracted. For stand-alone installations, the
wxs_home directory is the ObjectGrid
subdirectory within the wxs_install_root directory. For
installations that are integrated with WebSphere Application Server, this directory
is the optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid directory within the
wxs_install_root directory.
- Example when extracting the trial:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale
- Example when WebSphere eXtreme Scale is installed to a stand-alone
directory:
Example: /opt/IBM/eXtremeScale/ObjectGrid
Example: wxs_install_root\ObjectGrid
- Example when WebSphere eXtreme Scale is integrated with WebSphere Application Server:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid
- Example when extracting the trial:
- was_root
- The was_root directory is the root directory of a WebSphere Application Server installation:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
- net_client_home
- The net_client_home directory
is the root directory of a .NET client installation.
Example: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\eXtreme Scale .NET Client
- restservice_home
- The restservice_home directory is the directory in which
the WebSphere eXtreme Scale REST data service libraries and samples are
located. This directory is named restservice and is a subdirectory under the
wxs_home directory.
- Example for stand-alone deployments:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale/ObjectGrid/restservice
Example: wxs_home\restservice
- Example for WebSphere Application Server integrated
deployments:
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/optionalLibraries/ObjectGrid/restservice
- Example for stand-alone deployments:
- tomcat_root
- The tomcat_root is the
root directory of the Apache Tomcat installation.
Example: /opt/tomcat5.5
- wasce_root
- The wasce_root is the root directory of the WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition installation.
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServerCE
- java_home
- The java_home is the root directory of a Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) installation.
Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/eXtremeScale/java
Example: wxs_install_root\java
- samples_home
- The samples_home is the directory in which you extract
the sample files that are used for tutorials.
Example: wxs_home/samples
Example: wxs_home\samples
- dvd_root
- The dvd_root directory
is the root directory of the DVD that contains the product.
Example: dvd_root/docs/
- equinox_root
- The equinox_root directory
is the root directory of the Eclipse Equinox OSGi framework installation.
