Creating the Siebel Search Center Directory on UNIX

This topic covers creating the Siebel Search Center directory structure on the Siebel Server for a UNIX environment.

To create the Siebel Search Center directory structure on UNIX

1. Create a directory for storing the XML feed files on the Siebel Server, for example, /export/home/fs/SSC/xmlidata.

   The XML feed files are generated at runtime and temporarily stored in the fs/SSC/xmlidata folder. The feed files are automatically deleted once indexing completes.

2. Create a directory for storing the XML feed status files on the Siebel Server, for example,

   /export/home/fs/SSC/xmlidata/err.

   The XML feed status files are generated at runtime, and indicate the error or success status of the crawl operation.

3. Create a directory for storing the XML field mapping file on the Siebel Server, for example:

   /export/home/fs/SSC/Config.

4. Copy the file Application_Suite_OSES_Field-Mappings.xml from the installation directory at siebsrvr/lib/ to the config directory at /export/home/fs/SSC/Config/.

   • Copy the file SSC_OSES_Field-Mappings.xml if you are using a Siebel application that operates across industries, such as Siebel Call Center, Siebel Sales or Siebel Marketing.

   • Copy the file SIA_OSES_Field-Mappings.xml if you are using a Siebel industry application, such as Siebel Finance, Siebel Medical, or Siebel Pharma.

5. Copy the file Search_Engine_Config.xml from the installation directory to the config directory at /export/home/fs/SSC/Config/.

   Note: Do not modify the contents of the file Search_Engine_Config.xml from the preconfigured settings.

6. Set the permissions for /export/home/fs/ to Full Control for Everyone.
