Default installation directories

The installation programs install DB2® Warehouse in a default directory. In addition, some files that can be used by other compatible products are installed in a separate default directory that is called the shared resources directory.

Installation directories

The installation programs install the components of DB2 Warehouse in the following default directories:

On Linux and UNIX operating systems
  • With root authority: /opt/IBM/ISWarehouse10
  • Without root authority: user_home/ISWarehouse10
On Windows operating systems
  • With administrator authority: C:\Program Files\IBM\ISWarehouse10
  • Without administrator authority: user_home\IBM\ISWarehouse10
Restrictions: The following restrictions apply to all operating systems:
  • The maximum length of the root directory name is 39 characters.
  • The root directory must be writeable.
  • The root directory must be empty.
  • The root directory cannot contain special characters in the path name.

Component installation directories

Components are installed under the DB2 Warehouse installation directory.

Note: The Intelligent Miner component is installed under the directory where your DB2 database is installed.

Shared resources directory

The shared resources directory is used only by the Eclipse-based components of the Design Studio. If the computer that you plan to install the client component on has a previous installation of a DB2 Warehouse compatible product, then you already have a shared resources directory in the default locations. If it does not, the installation program creates the shared resources directory in the following default locations:

On Linux and UNIX operating systems
  • With root authority: /opt/IBM/ISWShared
  • Without root authority: user_home/ISWShared
On Windows operating systems
  • With administrator authority: C:\Program Files\IBM\ISWShared
  • Without administrator authority: user_home\ISWShared

If a shared resources directory exists on the computer from a previous installation, the existing directory is used.
