IBM Content Manager, Version 8.5.0.3

Finding IBMCMROOT

Many tasks to manage your content management system refer to the IBMCMROOT variable. You must know how to find the value of this variable.

IBM® Content Manager installs to IBMCMROOT. IBMCMROOT is also used as an environment variable on the system.

On Linux, AIX® or Solaris the location of IBMCMROOT is /opt/IBM/db2cmv8. This location is static and cannot be changed. There is also a working directory, /home/user_name, that contains some configuration and log files.
On Windows, the default location of IBMCMROOT is C:\Program Files\IBM\db2cmv8. The working directory is optional. If no working directory is created during installation, the configuration and log files are written under IBMCMROOT.

IBMCMROOT replaces both ICMROOT (used for Content Manager Version 8.2 and earlier) and CMBROOT (used for Enterprise Information Portal Version 8.1 and earlier and Information Integrator for Content Version 8.2).
