SIEBEL EIM - Import Attachments failure in PROD env

Customer are trying to import attachments via EIM, from a legacy system to Siebel PROD env, but they are unable to import them from the /input path (the default input path) to the Siebel FS path.
Also they have mentioned the parameter "ATTACHMENT DIRECTORY" in the ifb, but with no luck.

This functionality works fine in test environment.

The legacy system env - where the attachments were provided are from UNIX, and Siebel CRM PROD is running on Windows 2008 R2.

Both in UNIX and in Windows the correct permissions are set.

Also checked the file permissions to the Siebel FS, /input, the attachments have correct permission.

Also the Siebel FS has the right structure: i.e. \\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS1... \\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS6 with the att subdirectory in place.

2. Configure the IFB file to import.
3. Run EIM Job.

CAUSE
File System Parameter was mentioned wrong in Syntax with separated by ";"
Siebel File System : \\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS1;\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS2;\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS3;\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS4;\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS5;\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS6

SOLUTION
Multiple Arguments in the Object Manager Parameters should be separated by "," (comma) symbol.

Hence correct Syntax should be as below:-

Siebel File System : \\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS1,\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS2,\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS3,\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS4,\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS5,\\SP\siebelcrm_prd\FS6
