Updating the File System Directory


Upgrades: Release 6.x only.

Environments: All environments.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

The Release 7.x file system contains subdirectories. During the upgrade of your production environment, Siebel Anywhere looks for certain files in the file system subdirectories, but these files only exist in the root file system directory.

Therefore, you need to create the appropriate subdirectories in your previous installation directory structure and then copy the required files from the root file system directory to the new subdirectories.

To make file attachments accessible to Siebel Anywhere

  1. In the existing file system structure (for example C:\siebfile), create an att subdirectory if it does not already exist.

    Windows example: C:\siebfile\att

    Creating the att subdirectory does not adversely affect the installation of your Siebel Server. (You install the Siebel Server at a later point.)

  2. Copy (do not move) all files located under the \siebfile directory to the \siebfile\att directory so that all file attachments are accessible by Siebel eBusiness applications.
  3. Verify that files have copied correctly to the \siebfile\att directory.

    After this has been verified, clean up the file system.
