Setting the Server Uncompression Location and Other System Preferences

The following procedure shows you how to set the Server Uncompression Location system preference and other system preferences for PCD in Siebel CRM.

You must set the Server Uncompression Location system preference so that when you select the Generate button in Siebel applications, the messaging plan contents will be uncompressed to the location specified by the Server Uncompression Location system preference.

To set the server uncompression location and other system preferences for PCD

Log in to the Siebel business application.
Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, then the System Preferences view.
Query for the Server Uncompression Location system preference.

Enter the server location path where you want uncompression to happen as shown in the following table.

Platform Sever Location Path

Platform	Sever Location Path
Windows Server	For example, the server location path for a Windows server is: `C:\BuildFolder\ai\applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot` You must always provide the `ai\applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot` path in the Siebel Server installation path (`BuildFolder\`) where you want uncompression to happen; this applies also for hybrid environments.
Non-Windows Server	For example, the server location path for a non-Windows server is: `/export/home/sblqa1/BuildFolder/ai/applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot` Where `sblqa1` is the user.

Windows Server

For example, the server location path for a Windows server is:

C:\BuildFolder\ai\applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot

You must always provide the ai\applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot path in the Siebel Server installation path (BuildFolder\) where you want uncompression to happen; this applies also for hybrid environments.

Non-Windows Server

For example, the server location path for a non-Windows server is:

/export/home/sblqa1/BuildFolder/ai/applicationcontainer_external/siebelwebroot

Where sblqa1 is the user.

Note: Before redeploying the siebel.war file or restarting tomcat server, it is recommended that you back up the files in <Siebel_Install_Path>\ai\applicationcontainer_external\siebelwebroot\files and manually replace them after redeploying the siebel.war file.

Set the other system preferences as described in the following table.

Name	Value	Description
Decompressed Files Path	`filesystem\assets` Note: On UNIX, the value is: `filesystem/assets`.	Specifies the path of the decompressed messages. Do not use slash (\ or /) at either end of the string.
CheckForNeedToSync	N	If the CheckForNeedToSync user property is set to Y, then the next time you click Decompress in the Siebel Toolbar, only messages with the NeedToSync user property set to Y are decompressed. Otherwise, all messages are decompressed. When you click Decompress in the Siebel toolbar, the decompression time stamp is recorded in the S_USER table. Literature records have a calculated field called NeedToSync. The value in this field changes to True if the literature record is modified after decompression.
