Parameters for the sfspartition Utility

The following table describes the parameters for the sfspartition utility.

This topic is part of Partitioning the Siebel File System.

Parameter	Value	Description	Required?
/O	Paths for existing source directories	Set this value to the paths of the existing source directories for the file system. Separate multiple directories using commas, with no spaces. If any of the paths themselves contain a space, then enclose the parameter value in double quotes. Whether you must append `att` to each source directory depends on how you use the /H parameter: If you use /H Y, then do not append `att` to each source directory that you specify by using /O. (The purpose of /H Y is to eliminate the need to append `att`.) If you use /H N (or omit /H), then you must append `att` to each source directory that you specify by using /O. The utility looks both in the specified source directories and in the `att` subdirectories to find the files to be distributed to the specified target directories.	Yes
/F	Paths for target directories	Set this value to the paths of the target directories for the file system. Separate multiple directories using commas, with no spaces. If any of the paths themselves contain a space, then enclose the parameter value in double quotes. (Use the same value as the value of the FileSystem parameter.) Whether you must append `att` to each target directory depends on how you use the /H parameter: If you use /H Y, then do not append `att` to each target directory that you specify by using /F. (The purpose of /H Y is to eliminate the need to append `att`.) If you use /H N (or omit /H), then you must append `att` to each target directory that you specify by using /F. Otherwise, files will not be distributed to the `att` subdirectories of the target directories and will be inaccessible to clients.	Yes
/H	Y or N	Set /H Y if you want the utility to automatically append `att` to each source and target directory that you specify by using /O and /F. (Do not append `att` when you specify these directories.) Set /H N (or omit /H) if you do not want the utility to automatically append `att` to each source and target directory that you specify by using /O and /F. (Append `att` when you specify these directories.)	No

Parameter

Value

Description

Required?

Paths for existing source directories

Set this value to the paths of the existing source directories for the file system. Separate multiple directories using commas, with no spaces. If any of the paths themselves contain a space, then enclose the parameter value in double quotes.

Whether you must append att to each source directory depends on how you use the /H parameter:

If you use /H Y, then do not append att to each source directory that you specify by using /O. (The purpose of /H Y is to eliminate the need to append att.)
If you use /H N (or omit /H), then you must append att to each source directory that you specify by using /O. The utility looks both in the specified source directories and in the att subdirectories to find the files to be distributed to the specified target directories.

Yes

Paths for target directories

Set this value to the paths of the target directories for the file system. Separate multiple directories using commas, with no spaces. If any of the paths themselves contain a space, then enclose the parameter value in double quotes. (Use the same value as the value of the FileSystem parameter.)

Whether you must append att to each target directory depends on how you use the /H parameter:

If you use /H Y, then do not append att to each target directory that you specify by using /F. (The purpose of /H Y is to eliminate the need to append att.)
If you use /H N (or omit /H), then you must append att to each target directory that you specify by using /F. Otherwise, files will not be distributed to the att subdirectories of the target directories and will be inaccessible to clients.

Yes

Y or N

Set /H Y if you want the utility to automatically append att to each source and target directory that you specify by using /O and /F. (Do not append att when you specify these directories.)

Set /H N (or omit /H) if you do not want the utility to automatically append att to each source and target directory that you specify by using /O and /F. (Append att when you specify these directories.)
