Setting the fiperhome Variable and the Library Options

You need to create a WebSphere variable named fiperhome that points to your SIMULIA Execution Engine installation directory and to create a shared library for your configuration.

  1. On the left side of the console, click Environment.
  2. Click WebSphere variables.
  3. From the All scopes list, select:

    Cell=<servername><nodenumber>Cell

  4. Click New.
  5. In the Name text box, type fiperhome.
  6. In the Value text box, type the path to the one of the following subdirectories of your SIMULIA Execution Engine installation (depending on your operating system):
    • Windows 64-bit: <see_install_dir>\win_b64
    • Linux 64-bit: <see_install_dir>/linux_a64

    where <see_install_dir> is the base directory of your installation. For example, if you chose the default directory during installation, the value of fiperhome should be set to one of the following:

    • Windows 64-bit: 
      C:\SIMULIA\Isight\2024\win_b64
    • Linux 64-bit: 
      /opt/SIMULIA/Isight/2024/linux_a64

    The variable is added to the list of defined variables.
