About the Release Process

The following is an overview of the release process and how it works in your environment:

1. The released file is created and put on the Siebel File System under the Siebel File System root directory; no subdirectory exists. This released file is saved as a SAF file, which is compressed in the same manner as all the other Siebel File System files are compressed.
2. If a client starts the SmartScript, the compiled version is downloaded from the Siebel File System to the following directory on the server machine:

   [siebsrvrdir]\ServerDataSrc\files\sscript directory

   The file is renamed as .ssc file.

3. If a client starts the SmartScript again, the file is read from server machine without accessing FileSystem.

CAUTION:  If you change a released script make sure you delete the released version, and release the revised script again. Otherwise, Siebel SmartScript continues to use the previously released version of the script, which does not include the most recent changes.
