Indexing External Documents Under UNIX

If you plan to create indices for external documents, make sure you have a valid path that stores your documents. You have to either copy these documents to your UNIX machines that run the Siebel Server, or copy to a network path that is mounted and accessible to your server. Hummingbird does not need to connect to the database to index external documents. Therefore, Hummingbird does not use DataDirect's ODBC driver in this case. When you click the Index button, you will only see the FTE file, but not the DID file.
