Starting the Siebel Server Manager Command-Line Interface


This chapter describes how to use the Siebel Server Manager command-line interface, which is available on both the Windows and UNIX environments.

The command-line interface of the Siebel Server Manager is the srvrmgr program.

To start the srvrmgr program

  1. For Windows servers only: at the DOS prompt, change to the \bin subdirectory within the Siebel Server root directory:

    cd \siebel_server_root\bin

    NOTE:  Only perform this step if this Siebel Server is Windows-based.

  2. Execute the srvrmgr program by using flags to specify desired parameters:

    srvrmgr flags

    For a list of srvrmgr flags, see Table 21.

    NOTE:  You cannot use the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) in the Siebel Server Manager command when specifying the path and machine names.

  3. After the Siebel Server Manager has started, the prompt changes to:

    srvrmgr:server_name>

    The server_name parameter appears in the prompt only if you executed the srvrmgr program by specifying a Siebel Server using the -s flag, or after specifying a Siebel Server using the set server command.

For example, to start the srvrmgr program using the parameters specified in Table 20 on a Windows server, you would enter:

srvrmgr /g gateway1 /e enterprise1 /s server1 /u sadmin /p sadmin

To start the srvrmgr program using the parameters specified in Table 20 on a UNIX server, you would enter:

srvrmgr -g gateway1 -e enterprise1 -s server1 -u sadmin -p sadmin
