To run Siebel Image Creator in console mode on UNIX

  1. Review the information presented in Obtaining Siebel Installation Media Files and Siebel Installation Media Contents.
  2. Review the issues described in Preparing to Create a Siebel Installation Image. In particular, determine where the Siebel media files reside and where to create the Siebel image.
  3. (For download customers) Obtain the Siebel media ZIP files, as described in Obtaining Siebel Installation Media Files. Then extract the JAR files from the ZIP files.
  4. Open a new shell and navigate to the directory where you placed the Siebel media JAR files and the Image Creator utility and its related files.
  5. Execute the following command:

    ./UNIX_OS_ImageCreator -is:javaconsole -console

    where:

    • UNIX_OS = Your UNIX operating system, such as AIX, HPUX, Linux, or Solaris.
