Upgrade Guide for Microsoft Windows > Introduction >

Naming and Typographical Conventions in This Guide

---

This guide follows several naming conventions:

• Release 7.5.x refers to the current release of the Siebel eBusiness Applications.
• Release 7.x refers collectively to all versions of Siebel 7 that are supported in upgrade to Release 7.5; for example, Release 7.0.3, 7.0.4, or 7.5.1. Refer to the Upgrade section in Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb at http://ebusiness.siebel.com/supportweb/ for specific information on which release numbers are meant by Release 7.x.
• Release 6.x refers collectively to all versions of Siebel 6 that are supported in upgrade to Release 7.5.
• The term "Windows" refers to all Microsoft Windows operating systems listed as supported for this release in Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
• CLIENT_ROOT refers to the directory where the Siebel Dedicated Web Client is installed.
• DBSRVR_ROOT refers to the directory where you have installed the Siebel Database Server, for example, SIEBEL_ROOT\dbsrvr or c:\sea75x\dbsrvr.
• SIEBEL_ROOT refers to the directory where you have installed the Siebel eBusiness Application, for example, c:\sea75x.
• SIEBSRVR_ROOT refers to the directory where the Siebel Server is installed, for example, SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr or c:\sea75x\siebsrvr.

Unless otherwise noted, all references to Siebel eBusiness Applications documentation refer to the manuals provided with your Release 7.5 software.

Siebel Servers run in both Windows and UNIX environments. Because all versions of the UNIX operating system are case-sensitive, if you are running your Siebel eBusiness Applications under UNIX, treat all filenames, directory names, pathnames, 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, you should follow the same practice to avoid having to rename everything later.

NOTE:  Your Siebel implementation may not have all the features described in this guide, depending on which software modules you have purchased.
