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

  1. 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 under C:\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.

  2. Create the hhsync subfolder c:\mobile\hhsync as follows:

    mkdir c:\mobile\hhsync
  3. On Windows, use mklink to link siebsrvr\hhsync to the shared folder c:\23044\ses\siebsrvr as follows:

    C:\23044\ses\siebsrvr> mklink /D C:\23044\ses\siebsrvr\hhsync c:\mobile\hhsync 
    
  4. On UNIX, link siebsrvr/hhsync to the shared folder as follows:

    ln -s /<somepath>/mobile/hhsync /export/home/siebelqa1/23044/ses/siebsrvr/hhsync
  5. Log into the Siebel Server using a user ID with a Siebel administrator responsibility, and then do the following:

    1. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Mobile screen, then the Application Administration view.

    2. Select the appropriate application (for example, Siebel ePharma Mobile) from the upper applet.

    3. 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.

    4. Save the change and restart the Siebel Application Object Manager server component for the Siebel Mobile disconnected application.
