Installation and Configuration Directories on OpenVMS

The installation process creates these high-level directories.

Name	Environment Variable and Description	Default Path
Home directory	EDAHOME Stores the server software programs and other files	disk:[ibi.srv77] Must conform to the following pattern disk:[.ibi.srv77]
Configuration directory	EDACONF Stores the configuration files. If you are configuring multiple instances of the server, create separate configuration directories for each by adding a suffix (for example, a number) to the end of the directory name. When EDASTART is used to control the server, if the full path name of the EDACONF directory exceeds 31 characters, the directory is automatically aliased as EDASHARE=EDAn where n is the starting TCP port number of the server. When aliasing occurs, a message similar to the following appears: Warning: WSM id DISK$SOFTWARE:[IWAY.IBI.SRV77.FFS] has been aliased to EDASHARE=EDA8100 due to length.	disk:[iadmin.ibi.srv77.`product_type`] Must conform to the following pattern disk:[.ibi.srv77.`product_type`*] Product type can be: WFS for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server FFS for a Full Function Server DM for a DataMigrator Server WFM for a WebFOCUS Maintain Server
Application directory	APPROOT Contains your application files.	ibi.apps
Profiles directory	EDAPRFU Stores the user and group profiles and the admin.cfg file (which specifies the server administrator).	ibi.profiles

Multiple WebFOCUS Reporting Servers. If you plan to install multiple copies of WebFOCUS on the same computer, and you want to provide each copy with its own WebFOCUS Reporting Server, you may wish to maintain a separate ibi root directory for each copy, so that you can keep copies of each set of components, including the server, together in the same path.

You can specify a separate apps directory for each copy of WebFOCUS, or specify a single apps directory to be shared by all copies of WebFOCUS.
