one or more directories and/or files.

6.5.4 Acrylic-structured Directory

Allows directories to share sub-directories and files. The sharing is achieved by creating links
that point to another file or directory, implemented as an absolute or relative path.

6.5.5 Paths
• Absolute path begins at the root and follows a path down to a specified file.
Example: c:\temp\x\demo\testing\hello.cpp.
• Relative path defines a path from the relative path. Example: if we are located in c:\
temp\x and relative path is \test\log.txt, then its absolute path would be c:\temp\test\
log.txt. This topic shows the naming conventions used to denote the location of files on
the portal server and the types of resources you can find in those directories.

6.6 WebSphere Portal Directory Structure

Throughout this documentation, the install location for the portal server component of WebSphere
Portal is noted as wp_root, which is the config root.
The following table shows the default location if it is not otherwise specified during installation:

Operating system Location
z/OS /usr/lpp/zPortalServer/V5R1M0 (install root)

/PortalServer/V5R1M0/Portal1 (config root)

z/OS: The portal server has the following directory structure on z/OS after installation. All
directories are r/w on the config root. The content, however, might be r/w (files are copied)
or r/o (files are symlinked).
