Enabling Write Access for the EAI File Transport

The EAIFileTransportFolders parameter allows you to enable write access for the EAI File Transport for specific folders within the Siebel file system. The EAIFileTransportFolders parameter can be set at the enterprise or server level as a semicolon-separated list.

By default, the Siebel temporary folder, SIEBSRVR_ROOT\TEMP, is a permitted folder and is not required to be explicitly configured with the EAIFileTransportFolders parameter. If the parameter is not configured, then writing is allowed only to the Siebel temporary folder; any attempt to write a file to a folder other than the Siebel temporary folder fails.

Caution: Do not allow write access to the SIEBSRVR_ROOT\BIN folder. Write access to the BIN folder allows anyone to overwrite Siebel system DLL files.
