WebSphere WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.0.1 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows

Default installation paths

The default installation paths which the installation wizard uses to install WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,Version 6.0.2, can be different depending on whether you install the product on a clean server or on one with an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Default installation directory on a clean server

The following list shows the default installation directory for WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment when there is not an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment:
  • For AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ESB
  • LINUX platforms Solaris platforms On HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ESB
  • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\ESB

Default installation directory when an installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment exists

When an installation of either WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment exists on a server, and you choose to install a separate WebSphere ESB to coexist with it, then the default installation directories are the same as on a clean server. If you choose to extend the existing WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere ESB is installed into the same location. For example, if WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, exists in the following directory, WebSphere ESB will be installed into this same location:
  • For AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
  • LINUX platforms Solaris platforms On HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
  • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer

Default installation directory when a WebSphere ESB installation exists

If you already have WebSphere ESB installed and you run the installation wizard to initiate a second installation of the product, the installation wizard detects the existing installation and appends a number to the second default directory. For example, if WebSphere ESB exists in the following default directory:
  • For AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ESB
  • LINUX platforms Solaris platforms On HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ESB
  • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\ESB
and you run the installation wizard a second time, the wizard will offer the following default installation location for the second product installation on the Installation Location panel:
  • For AIX platforms On AIX platforms: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ESB1
  • LINUX platforms Solaris platforms On HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/ESB1
  • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\ESB1

Definition of install_root

The variableinstall_root is used throughout the documentation to refer to the installation location of WebSphere ESB. WebSphere ESB will always be installed in the same location as the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation with which it is associated.

Definition of profile_root

The variable profile_root is used throughout the documentation to refer to the installation location of a WebSphere ESB profile. By default, the profile is located in the following directory:
  • LINUX platforms UNIX platforms On Linux and UNIX platforms: install_root/profiles/profile_name
  • For Windows platforms On Windows platforms: install_root\profiles\profile_name
