Configuring the Siebel File System Connector

The file system connector must be set up if you want external file systems to be indexed and searched by Oracle Secure Enterprise Search.

Note: The file system is not a required connector for Siebel Search and Oracle Secure Enterprise Search integration. This process is only required if the Siebel File System Connector will be used.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up the File System Source and Connector.

To configure the Siebel file system connector for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Search OSES screen, then the Search Connector Settings view.

    The Search Connector Settings List applet is displayed.

  2. Click on the New button on the list applet.

  3. Complete the following file system connector fields.

    Field Value

    Name

    filesystem

    Version

    1.0

    Library Name

    filesystem

    Engine Name

    OSES

    StartingUrl

    The starting URL is the location where the files or directories are crawled for indexing. If a URL represents a single file, then the crawler searches only that file. If a URL represents a directory, then the crawler recursively crawls all files and subdirectories in that directory.

    Only local host file URLs are allowed. You cannot specify file URLs on a remote computer. It is recommended to set the Starting URL to a shared folder.

    On Windows set the value to:

    file://localhost///SiebelServerIPAddress/fs/

    On UNIX set the value to:

    file://localhost//directory_1/directory_2

  4. Select Save Record on the Connector list.
