About File Path and Command Conventions
Analytics License: All licenses. Operating Systems: All. Databases: All databases. Environment variables and path placeholders for both Windows and UNIX paths are used throughout the Siebel Analytics Platform Installation and Configuration Guide. Table 4 shows the format conventions for paths, navigation, and command execution used in this Guide. TIP: All versions of the UNIX operating system are case-sensitive. If you are running Siebel Analytics under UNIX, treat all filenames, directory names, path names, parameters, flags, and command-line commands as lowercase, unless you are instructed otherwise in the product.
If your deployment currently runs under Windows, but you might switch to a UNIX environment or deploy UNIX servers in the future, follow this same practice to avoid having to rename everything later.

Paths |
$INSTALLDIR is the absolute path of the Analytics Server installation directory. When you install Siebel Analytics, the installation script queries for the drive and path to the installation directory. The script then installs the Siebel Analytics Servers on that drive and path. For example, if you specified drive D: as the installation drive, then $INSTALLDIR is D:\SiebelAnalytics. |
$INSTALLDIR is an environment variable that defines the absolute path of the Analytics Server installation directory. When you install Siebel Analytics, the installation script queries for the path to the installation directory. The script then installs Siebel Analytics in a subdirectory of this path. For example, if you specified /usr/local as the installation directory, then $INSTALLDIR is
/usr/local/SiebelAnalytics. The definition of $INSTALLDIR and other environment variables required for doing an installation are located in /sa.sh. The Siebel Analytics installation script sets environment variable definitions in this shell script. Do not edit or delete this file. |
Path Navigation (Procedural steps that ask you to navigate to a specified directory.) |
Open a Command Prompt window and use the cd command to make the specified directory the current directory. NOTE: Do not use the Windows File Explorer to navigate to the directory.
For help with the cd command, enter the word help in the Command Prompt window and click Enter. |
In a shell window, make the specified directory the current directory. |
Command Execution (Procedural steps that ask you to execute a command, unless specified otherwise.) |
In a Command Prompt window, verify the current directory is correct and enter the command. Do not run the command by entering it in the Run window in the Start Menu. |
TIP: Before performing command line procedures, source sa.csh first. This action refreshes the environment variables required to run commands.
NOTE: Under UNIX, run .csh scripts in a C shell, and run .sh script in Korn, Bourne, or bash shell.
In a shell window, perform the following steps: - Verify the current directory is correct.
- Source the siebenv script.
- Enter the command.
