Directory conventions

References in the documentation are for default directory locations. This topic describes the conventions in use for WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment.

Default product locations when the root user or an administrator user installs the product

The root user or administrator is capable of registering shared products and installing into the default system-owned directories. These file paths are default locations, but you can install the products and create profiles in any directory where you have write access. Multiple installations of any of these products or components require multiple installation locations.
