Step by Step Scenario
  1. Install the Siebel Language Pack 5.0.1 version

  2. Copy the contents of folder ToBeInstalledInSCDFPlugins to the <Delivery_folder>\plugins folder
  3. Launch the DMT
  4. Try to add package and see that  Siebel is missing from the list of vendor specific repository
Action Plan

The issue occurs because the contents of the plugin folder needs to be unzipped as well after copying.

  1. Unzip the files inside the plugin folder using any tool like 7zip to get directory structure

    <Delivery_folder>\plugins\dmtcastsiebelextractor-1.0\CAST-Extractor-Siebel.mda
    <Delivery_folder>\plugins\dmtcastsiebeltechno-1.0\CAST-Techno-Siebel.mda
    <Delivery_folder>\plugins\dmtcastsiebeldb2extractor-1.0\
    or
    <Delivery_folder>\plugins\dmtcastsiebeloracleextractor-1.0\
  2. Then try adding package, you will be able to find Siebel in the list in the DMT.
  3. Be careful while unzipping. If you unzip directly the folder structure will have a replicated folder like  - <Delivery_folder>\plugins\dmtcastsiebelextractor-1.0\dmtcastsiebelextractor-1.0\CAST-Extractor-Siebel.mda
  4. If you have the above path then Siebel will not appear in the DMT.
  5. It should have this correct folder structure for appearing in DMT - <Delivery_folder>\plugins\dmtcastsiebelextractor-1.0\CAST-Extractor-Siebel.mda
Impact on Analysis Results and Dashboard

You will not be able to proceed with analysis/snapshot without packaging
