Installing Siebel Management Agent

This topic is part of Installing Siebel Management Agent and Siebel Management Server.

This topic describes how to install Siebel Management Agent in a Siebel environment, in a separate installation.

Before you start the installation tasks described here, review the requirements and make sure you adhere to those that apply for the installation of Siebel Management Agent. For details, see Requirements for Installing Siebel Management Agent and Siebel Management Server.

Siebel Management Agent can be installed in a Siebel environment that is hosted in a supported Windows or UNIX environment. If your Siebel environment contains multiple Siebel Servers, you can install Siebel Management Agent on all servers that are deployed to by Siebel ADM or monitored with the Siebel Diagnostic Tool.

NOTE:  By default, Siebel Management Agent is installed when you install Siebel Server. If you install an instance of Siebel Management Agent as part of Siebel Server installation, you can ignore the content in this topic and proceed to configuring Management Agent, as described in Configuring Siebel Management Agent.

This topic describes how to install Siebel Management Agent if you did not install it as part of the Siebel Server installation.

NOTE:  The following procedure is for installing the base product. For patch installation instructions, refer to the applicable Siebel Maintenance Release Guide on My Oracle Support. See also About Installing Siebel Releases.
