Configuring the UPT and KWD Log Directory for Multiple Servers

This topic provides you with the information on configuring the UPT and KWD log directory for multiple servers.

The following procedure shows you how to configure Automation Application Directories in a multiple server or hybrid environment (for example, Microsoft Windows and UNIX).

To configure the UPT and KWD log directory

1. Create a shared Common Internet File System (CIFS) between the Windows and Unix servers.

   On Windows for example, a folder called automation needs to be created (for example, c:\automation) and the Siebel Servers are installed in <Siebel Install Location>\ses\siebsrvr.

   On UNIX for example, a folder called automation mounted as /somepath/automation (which points to the Windows folder) and Siebel Servers are installed under <Siebel Install Location>\ses\siebsrvr.

2. Create two subfolders for UPT and KWD.

   • mkdir c:\automation\upt

   • mkdir c:\automation\kwd

3. Use the mklink in Windows to link the siebsrvr\upt and siebsrvr\kwd to the shared folder. c:\automation\upt and c:\automation\kwd respectively as follows:

   • mklink /D <Siebel Install Location>\ses\siebsrvr\upt c:\automation\upt

   • mklink /D <Siebel Install Location>\ses\siebsrvr\kwd c:\automation\kwd

4. In UNIX, link the siebsrvr/upt and siebsrvr/kwd to the shared folder /somepath/automation/upt and /somepath/automation/kwd by using the following commands:

   • ln -s /somepath/automation/upt <Siebel Install Location>/ses/siebsrvr/automation/upt

   • ln -s /somepath/automation/kwd <Siebel Install Location>/ses/siebsrvr/automation/kwd
