The installation process creates these high-level directories:

• Home directory. This installation directory stores the software programs and other files. We refer to this as EDAHOME, and when the software is running, the full path is stored in the environment variable EDAHOME. The default directory is

  ibi/srv77/home[suffix]

  where:

  suffix

  Is optional when installing and maintaining a single copy of the software. It is required if installing and maintaining multiple copies (for example, multiple maintenance releases) to ensure that each installed instance has a uniquely-named home directory. For example:

  /home/iadmin/ibi/srv77/home

• Configuration directory. The files that control the behavior of each instance reside here. We refer to this as EDACONF, and when the product is running, the full path is stored in the environment variable EDACONF. The default directory is

  ibi/srv77/foc

• Application directory. This is the default location for storing applications. We refer to this as APPROOT, and when the software is running, the full path is stored in the environment variable APPROOT. This directory may be shared by applications created with other Information Builders products. It defaults to the following:

  ibi/apps

  Security for application directories is handled at the operating system level. To avoid any possibility of these directories being accessed inappropriately by means of APP commands (such as APP DELETE AppDirName), use directory security to set the appropriate permissions on these directories.

• Profiles directory. The user and group profiles reside here. We refer to this as EDAPRFU, and when the software is running, the full path is stored in the environment variable EDAPRFU. This directory defaults to the following:

  ibi/profiles
