Running the new_virdirs Script

You run the new_virdirs script to add the virtual directories for all specified languages that Siebel eService for Siebel Open UI (the Self Service Portal application) uses. Perform this task immediately after you perform the task to edit the new_virdirs script. For more information, see Editing the new_virdirs Script.

NOTE:  If running the new_virdirs script does not create the required virtual directories, then you must restore the files on the Web server from the backup files that you create in Step 2.

This task is a step in Process of Adding the Virtual Directories for Siebel eService.

To run the new_virdirs script

1. Navigate to SWSE_HOME/config.
2. Open a command window or shell window and run a command as follows:
   • On Microsoft Windows, run a command like the following command:

   new_virdirs.bat languages

   • On UNIX or Linux operating systems, run a command like the following command:

   ./new_virdirs.sh languages webserverlocation

   In these commands, languages is a three-letter language code or a comma-separated list of language codes, and webserverlocation is the installation location of the Web server instance.

   For example, on Microsoft Windows, you might enter a command like the following command to create the virtual directories for U.S. English (ENU), French (FRA), and Japanese (JPN):

   new_virdirs.bat ENU,FRA,JPN

3. Specify the anonymous user for Siebel eService for Siebel Open UI by adding parameters like the following parameters to the eapps.cfg file:

   AnonUserName = guestusername
   AnonPassword = guestuserpassword

   Specify the anonymous user name and password in each language-specific application section, [/sservice_lang].

   NOTE:  Add values similar to the values defined for other applications, such as Siebel eService for standard interactivity. In most cases, the AnonPassword value represents an encrypted value. To specify a different password, encrypt the password first by using the encryptstring utility. For more information, see Siebel Security Guide.

4. Restart the Web server.
5. Start a browser and start the Self Service Portal application by entering an appropriate URL, such as the following URL for French:

   https://server_name/sservice_fra
