How This Guide Refers to Your Installation Directories

This guide uses the following variable-naming conventions to refer to the installation directories either created by the installers or to which users navigate to access files and executable programs.

$SIEBEL_ROOT. Generally, this refers to the main directory in which software for each Siebel Server Enterprise entity has been installed. The UNIX Enterprise Server component installers use /siebel as the default for $SIEBEL_ROOT.

$SIEBEL_HOME. The installation or root directory for Siebel eBusiness Applications software in general or the Siebel Gateway Name Server or the Siebel Server, depending on the context. Many scripts contain variables with this name; its meaning is most often derived from the context.

$SIEBSRVR_ROOT. The installation or root directory for Siebel Server.

SIEBEL_SERVER_ROOT. This term is sometimes used within executable programs such as the siebel_server script, as a synonym for $SIEBEL_HOME.

$SWEAPPS_ROOT. The directory into which you install the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE).

SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT. The directory into which you install the Siebel Mobile Web Client.
