Siebel File System Parameter

This topic is part of Creating the Siebel File System.

The Siebel File System parameter defines the particular directory or set of directories that you are using for the Siebel File System. Specify multiple File System directories delimited by commas.

The Siebel File System parameter can be defined at the Siebel Enterprise level, Siebel Server level, or server component level. When you configure the Siebel Enterprise, you specify a value for this parameter, as described in Creating a Siebel Enterprise Profile.

For a Siebel Server dedicated for use with Siebel EIM, for example, you might choose to use a Siebel File System location that is not in general use in the Siebel Enterprise. Use Siebel Server Manager to individually modify the parameter at the Siebel Server or component level, if the File System that is to be used by a particular Siebel Server or applicable component has different directory locations than are defined for the Siebel Enterprise.

The value of the Siebel File System parameter cannot exceed 2048 characters in length.

Note: Verify that the network names of servers that support the Siebel File System are properly recorded in your copy of the worksheet in Siebel Deployment Planning Worksheet. Use the computer names, not the IP addresses, for the Siebel File System names. IP addresses are not supported.
