Windows Paths

The following path conventions specify file system locations in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide topics:

  • SIEBEL_ROOT is the absolute path of the Siebel Server installation directory. When you install a Siebel Server, the installation program queries for the path to the installation directory. The installation program then installs the Siebel Server in a subdirectory of this path called siebsrvr. For example, if you specified C:\sba81 as the installation directory for Siebel CRM 8.1, then SIEBEL_ROOT is C:\sba81\siebsrvr.

  • DBSRVR_ROOT is the absolute path to the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities on the Siebel Server. When you install the Siebel Database Server, the installation program queries for the path to the Siebel Server installation directory. The script then installs the Siebel Database Server files at the same level in a subdirectory called dbsrvr. For example, if SIEBEL_ROOT is C:\sba81\siebsrvr, then DBSRVR_ROOT is C:\sba81\dbsrvr. In this guide, many examples use the path C:\ and C:\sba81.

  • $SIEBEL_HOME is the directory where Siebel Tools is installed, on a developer computer running Microsoft Windows. For example, a typical location would be C:\Siebel\Tools.
