If you started the upgrade process from Oracle Access Manager release 6.5 or 7.x, you can skip this chapter because the directory structure remains the same. However, if you started the upgrade from a release earlier than 6.5, there are important directory structure changes that you need to be aware of.
The installed product directory structure remained constant from Oracle Access Manager release 5.2 to release 6.5. With the introduction of localization for multi-language environments in release 6.5, new directories were added, some directories moved, and some were eliminated. This new directory structure is carried forward with 10g (10.1.4.0.1).
Not all new directories reside on all Oracle Access Manager component hosts. This appendix introduces both the earlier directory structure and the new structure.
Starting with the release 6.5, a new directory structure was introduced to accommodate the addition of Language Packs that enable you to display static information to users in their native language. Oracle Access Manager provides a new directory named \oblix\oracle\nlstrl that is created for each component during with the automatic installation of the Oracle National Language Support Library.
The top level directory structure for 10g (10.1.4.0.1) looks like the following:
OracleAccessManager\access
OracleAccessManager\identity
OracleAccessManager\webcomponent
In addition, 10g (10.1.4.0.1) provides additional Language Packs and support for multibyte character sets such as Japanese and Chinese.
Note:
English language messages require no additional Language Pack. All installations include a \lang directory with an \en-us subdirectory for English language messages.With release 6.5 through 10g (10.1.4.0.1), the location of certain files has changed. For example, the location of message files and stylesheets will differ from earlier releases. See these topics for more information:
The default directory structure for the latest Oracle Access Manager PresentationXML libraries is summarized in the next list. Information here introduces some of these changes, which are explained in detail in the Oracle Access Manager Customization Guide:
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\AppName\bin
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\langTag
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\langTag\style0
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\shared
WebPass_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\langTag
WebPass_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\langTag\style0
WebPass_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\shared
WebPass_install_dir\identity\oblix\WebServices\XMLSchema
Starting with release 6.5 and continuing forward, Oracle Access Manager installations include a directory named \lang, which includes a named directory (\langtag) for each installed language. For example, langtag en-us contains English-specific directories and files that is included with every installation by default. When you install a Language Pack a \langtag directory is included and named with a specific language tag. In the example here, the French Language Pack was installed:
Note:
Your installation will be English only unless Oracle-provided Language Packs were installed. You can install Language Packs independently after installing or upgrading, to 10g (10.1.4.0.1) as described in the Oracle Access Manager Installation Guide.Each \langTag subdirectory contains ..XML message catalog files for various applications, which you can customize, as well as other .HTML files. In addition, each \langTag directory contains a \style0 directory.
The \lang\shared directory provides default global stylesheets in all languages. For more information about stylesheets and PresentationXML directories, see "About Custom Items and Upgrades" and the Oracle Access Manager Customization Guide.
Note:
In release 6.5 the \engine directory was removed. Also, in release 6.5 the \orig directory was removed, but returned in release 7.0 and remains in 10g (10.1.4.0.1).This directory contains .pdb files used for debugging crashes on Windows systems.
This directory contains a subdirectory for Crystal Reports that includes samples and templates.
On the computer hosting a WebPass, this directory contains subdirectories for Web Services Description Language files; samples; and XMLSchema. For more information, see the Oracle Access Manager Developer Guide.
The Identity Server was formerly known as the NetPoint or COREid Server. There are several new directories for the Identity Server. Some are new starting with release 6.5 and continuing through10g (10.1.4.0.1) and some are new as of 10g (10.1.4.0.1):
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix
Table A-1 shows the subdirectories and files that are part of 10g (10.1.4.0.1) located in IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix.

The next discussions identify changes for Oracle Access Manager stylesheets and messages as follows:
PresentationXML Directories with Oracle Access Manager Release 6.5 and Later
PresentationXML Directories Before Oracle Access Manager 6.5
If you have upgraded from release 6.5 or later (or your earlier installation did not include custom images, styles, or JavaScript that you want to use with 10g (10.1.4.0.1)), you can skip this discussion.
Oracle Access Manager default Classic Style stylesheets and the PresentationXML library are now stored as shown here. For more information, see Appendix A, "Oracle Access Manager Directory Structure Changes" and the Oracle Access Manager Customization Guide:
The contents of the default 10g (10.1.4.0.1) directories for the Identity Server are outlined in Table A-5. This directory structure was introduced in Oracle Access Manager release 6.5 and continues through 10g (10.1.4.0.1).
Table A-5 Default PresentationXML Libraries Release 6.5 and Later
| Default Oracle Access Manager Directories | Contents |
|---|---|
|
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\AppName\bin where AppName can be common, groupservcenter, objservcenter, userservcenter, and so on. |
Registration and parameter files specific to the application. |
|
IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\langTag where langTag represents an installed language, such as en-us (English) or fr-fr (French). |

If you have upgraded from release 6.5 or later (or your earlier installation did not include custom images, styles, or JavaScript that you want to use with 10g (10.1.4.0.1)), you can skip this discussion.
The PresentationXML library was provided under two directories and distributed depending upon how the files were likely to be used. For example, stylesheets that define the default Oracle Access Manager Classic Style are maintained in flat files in the file system directory:
For example:
The pre-6.5 Identity Server directory structure IdentityServer_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\AppName (common, groupservcenter, and so on) is summarized in Table A-7.
Table A-7 Pre-6.5 Identity Server PresentationXML Libraries
| \bin | \ui | \xmlschema |
|---|---|---|
|
Dynamically-loadable code for the application, and the registration file, message file(s) and parameter files specific to the application |
Stylesheets for the application(in one or more style directories) |
XML schema files specific to the application |
The pre-6.5 WebPass directory structure is summarized in Table A-8. For example, WebPass_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\AppName (common, groupservcenter, and so on):
Table A-8 Pre-6.5 WebPass PresentationXML Libraries
| \bin | \ui |
|---|---|
|
JavaScript files |
Stylesheets and GIFs specific to the application(in one or more style directories). |
For more information, see the Oracle Access Manager Customization Guide for your earlier release.
Prior to release 6.5, Oracle Access Manager messages were controlled by an XML file for a specific application. For example:
IdentityServer_install_dir/identity/oblix/apps/appname/bin/appnamemsg.xml
where IdentityServer_install_dir is the directory where the Identity Server is installed and appname matches a specific application, as follows:
groupservcenter--Group Manager
objservcenter--Organization Manager
Each appnamemsg.xml file contained multiple paired sets of data, in the form:
<Message MsgTag="the tag name">The tag text</Message>
In 10g (10.1.4.0.1), these message files now reside in specific language directories. For example: IdentityServer_install_dir/identity/oblix/lang/langTag/oblixbasemsg.xml.
For more information, see the Oracle Access Manager Customization Guide.
