Locating the Default PS_CFG_HOME

When you launch PSADMIN, if a PS_CFG_HOME does not exist, the system creates the PS_CFG_HOME directory in the “user” directory of the current user (the owner of the domain). The system assumes the presence of the following environment variables:

Operating System Required Environment Variable

UNIX/Linux

HOME

Windows

USERPROFILE

For example, depending on the operating system of the server, the system creates PS_CFG_HOME in the following location on the same drive as PS_HOME.

Operating System PS_CFG_HOME Location

UNIX/Linux

$HOME/psft/pt/<version>

Windows

%USERPROFILE%\psft\pt\<version>

After you create a domain, the domain exists under $PS_CFG_HOME\appserv\<domain>.

With a user of psftuser, on UNIX/Linux this would appear as:

/home/psftuser/peopletools/8.58
                     peopletools.properties
                     /appserv
                       /CRM
                       /HR
                       /PRCS
                         /CRM_PRCS
                         /HR_PCRS
                       /Search
                       /webserv
                       /ver_dom

With a user of psftuser, on Windows this would appear as:

C:\Documents and Settings\psftuser\psft\pt\8.58
				              peopletools.properties
                     \appserv
                        \CRM
                        \HR
                        \PRCS
                           \CRM_PRCS
                           \HR_PCRS
                        \Search
                        \Temp
                        \webserv
                        pswinsrv.cfg

Note:

The previous examples show a situation in which CRM, HR, CRM_PRCS, HR_PRCS and ver_dom are all domain directories. They are not in PS_CFG_HOME by default, and appear only after the domains are created.

To display the default PS_CFG_HOME location, you can submit the following command to PSADMIN:

psadmin -defaultPS_CFG_HOME

Note:

These commands are not case sensitive.
