Excluding Unsafe File Types from the Siebel File System

You can prevent files with a specific file extension from being saved to the Siebel File System by enabling the File Ext Check system preference. This topic describes how to implement file extension checking, and how to specify the file types you want to exclude from the Siebel File System.

When you select a file type to be excluded, Siebel Application Object Manager components are prevented from adding any files with that file extension to the Siebel File System, including files from external sources, such as Siebel CRM Desktop, or files from a custom integration point which the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Application Object Manager might attempt to add.

Note: Files with file extensions that you choose to exclude that are added to the Siebel File System before you implement file extension checking are not removed from the system. You must review and remove these existing files manually, if required.
