About File Path and Directory Naming Conventions

This guide uses the following file path and directory naming conventions to specify file locations:

• SIEBEL_ROOT. This location is the main Siebel release installation directory. Enterprise Server components, such as the Siebel Gateway and the Siebel Servers, are installed into this directory. For example, your top-level installation directory might be C:\siebel\ses (Windows) or /siebel/ses (UNIX).

  Note: $SIEBEL_ROOT (no italics) represents the value of the SIEBEL_ROOT environment variable, which usually corresponds to a module-specific installation directory, for example, /siebel/siebsrvr for the Siebel Server.

• SIEBSRVR_ROOT. This location is the Siebel Server installation directory, such as C:\siebel\ses\siebsrvr (Windows) or /siebel/ses/siebsrvr (UNIX).

• DBSRVR_ROOT. This location is the directory in which the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities are installed on the Siebel Server computer. For example, the Database Configuration Utilities might be installed in C:\siebel\ses\dbsrvr (Windows) or /siebel/ses/dbsrvr (UNIX).

Use lowercase for all file names, directory names, path names, parameters, flags, and command-line commands, unless you are instructed otherwise. For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide.
