Procedures for Launching Configuration Wizards

This topic is part of Launching the Siebel Configuration Wizard.

Procedures are presented below for launching the Siebel Configuration Wizard from Windows shortcuts (where applicable) or from the command line.

For UNIX-based procedures, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX.

NOTE:  Siebel Management Agent requires Siebel Management Server, which is available for Windows only.

To launch a wizard using Windows shortcuts

• Navigate to Start, All Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 8.x, then Config_Type.

  where:

  • Config_Type = The type of configuration you want to perform, such as:
    • Siebel Enterprise Configuration
    • Siebel Server Configuration
    • Database Server Configuration
    • Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration
    • Management Agent Configuration (shortcut available if Management Agent was installed with Siebel Server)

To launch a wizard from a DOS command

1. Open a DOS command window and navigate to the BIN subdirectory of the installed component you want to configure within your SIEBEL_ROOT directory.
   • For Siebel Gateway Name Server and Siebel Enterprise, navigate to a directory like C:\sba80\gtwysrvr\BIN. Also navigate here if you will configure an SWSE logical profile.
   • For Siebel Server or Database Configuration Utilities, navigate to a directory like C:\sba80\siebsrvr\BIN.
   • For Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), navigate to a directory like C:\sba80\SWEApp\BIN.
   • For Siebel Management Agent (if installed with Siebel Server), navigate to a directory like C:\sba80\siebsrvr\mgmtagent\BIN.
   • For Siebel Management Agent (if installed separately), navigate to a directory like C:\sba80\mgmtagent\BIN.
   • For Siebel Management Server, navigate to a directory like C:\sba80\mgmtsrvr\BIN.
2. Enter a command similar to the following for configuring in live mode or offline mode:

   GUI mode:

   ssincfgw.exe -args LANG=language VISIBILITY=visibility_mode MODE=mode MODEL_FILE=model_file

   Console mode:

   ssincfgw.exe -args LANG=language VISIBILITY=visibility_mode MODE=mode MODEL_FILE=model_file -is:javaconsole -console

   For more information about console mode, see Command-Line Options for Siebel Installers and Wizards and Installing and Configuring in Unattended and Console Modes.

3. Enter a command similar to the following for executing a configuration response file (execute mode):

   GUI mode:

   ssincfgw.exe -args LANG=language VISIBILITY=visibility_mode MODE=mode IN_RESPONSE_FILE=response_file

   Console mode:

   ssincfgw.exe -args LANG=language VISIBILITY=visibility_mode MODE=mode IN_RESPONSE_FILE=response_file -is:javaconsole -console
