Configuring the Application Directory Setting for Multiple Servers
The following procedure shows you how to set the Application Directory parameter for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications in a multiple server or hybrid environment (for example, Microsoft Windows and UNIX).
To configure the Application Directory setting for multiple servers
Set up a shared CIFS (or Samba) FileSystem folder between Windows and UNIX servers.
On Windows for example, a folder called mobile is created on the c:\ drive (
c:\mobile
) and Siebel Servers are installed underC:\23044\ses\siebsrvr
.On Linux for example, a folder called mobile is mounted as
/
somepath/mobile
(which points to the Windows folder) and Siebel Servers are installed under/export/home/siebelqa1/23044/ses/siebsrvr
.Create the hhsync subfolder
c:\mobile\hhsync
as follows:mkdir c:\mobile\hhsync
On Windows, use mklink to link
siebsrvr\hhsync
to the shared folderc:\23044\ses\siebsrvr
as follows:C:\23044\ses\siebsrvr> mklink /D C:\23044\ses\siebsrvr\hhsync c:\mobile\hhsync
On UNIX, link
siebsrvr/hhsync
to the shared folder as follows:ln -s /<somepath>/mobile/hhsync /export/home/siebelqa1/23044/ses/siebsrvr/hhsync
Log into the Siebel Server using a user ID with a Siebel administrator responsibility, and then do the following:
Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Mobile screen, then the Application Administration view.
Select the appropriate application (for example, Siebel ePharma Mobile) from the upper applet.
Click the Settings tab, and set the value of the Application Directory parameter to
hhsync/phm
.On Microsoft Windows, this points to:
.\siebsrvr\hhsync\phm
.On Linux, this points to:
./siebsrvr/hhsync/phm
.Save the change and restart the Siebel Application Object Manager server component for the Siebel Mobile disconnected application.
