Overview of Methods That Manipulate the File System

To manipulating the file system, you can use the following methods:

• CreateFile

• GetFile

• PutFile

You can store a file in the local file system on the Siebel Server where your configuration runs the script. You can also return this file. You can use a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format. For example, \\server\dir\file.txt. You can use a DOS folder. For example, c:\dir\file.txt.

The Siebel Server must be able to access the UNC path or mounted file system. If you use a Java client to run the Siebel Java Data Bean, then the Siebel Server must be able to access all files.

You can use these methods with business components that use the CSSBCFile class. These methods do not serialize the files from the client of a third-party application or place files from the client of a third-party application in the Siebel file system.
