Creating the Siebel File System
This task is part of Planning Your Siebel Deployment.
The Siebel File System is a shared directory, or set of directories, that is network-accessible to the Siebel Server and that can store files such as attachments for use by Siebel CRM. Siebel File System directories might optionally exist on multiple separate devices or partitions.
Each File System directory might be created on a server computer where you have installed a Siebel Server, or on another network server that can share the directory, so that it is available to the Siebel Server. Consult your third-party documentation for requirements for networked file systems.
Creating multiple Siebel File System directories in different locations can enable you to store larger volumes of data. As new file attachments are inserted, they are evenly distributed to these multiple File System directories. If you create multiple File System directories, then you must include all of the directory locations, delimited by commas, when you specify the Siebel File System location during configuration of your Siebel environment. Each File System directory location must be uniquely named within the network context where it will be accessed.
You can exclude certain types of files from being saved to the Siebel File System, as determined by their file extensions. For more information about setting system preferences to enable this feature and to specify the file extensions to be excluded, see Siebel Security Guide.
