Review the information in this topic before installing and configuring the Siebel Server.
Clustering for the Siebel ServerThe Siebel installer allows you to install all servers at once for which you have a license. If you will be operating certain servers as part of a cluster, it is strongly recommended to install and configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server and the Siebel Server on separate resource groups. For information about clustering, see Siebel Deployment Planning Guide. Language and Locale RequirementsMake sure you have the appropriate locales installed on the machines on which you intend to deploy Siebel Server. Siebel log and configuration files use UTF-8 with Byte Order Mark as the default encoding. If these files contain any non-ASCII characters, proper viewing and editing requires a UTF-8 locale. For more information on supported locales, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network. The locale can affect how dates and times are displayed. For more information, see Siebel Global Deployment Guide. Guidelines for Installing Multiple Language Packs on the Siebel ServerIf you will be installing multiple language versions of Siebel Business Applications on your Siebel Servers, review the following configuration guidelines:
Adding a New Siebel Enterprise Component to an Existing InstallationWhen you add a new Siebel Enterprise Server product to an existing installation, you do not need to specify which languages to install. The new product is installed with the same languages you installed previously. Because all Siebel Enterprise Server components share the same root directory (for example, the directory C:\sba80), they are treated by the installer as one product in terms of subsequent installations for patch releases and new languages you are adding to the installation. After an installation directory is patched, a new product cannot be added to that directory. In that case, either uninstall the Siebel Enterprise Server software and reinstall with the products you require, or install a new instance of the Siebel Enterprise Server software on a different machine. Then install the applicable patch releases. NOTE: All Siebel Enterprise Server components must be at the same release and patch level. Search ProductsA Siebel Server machine can be configured to execute searching using a locally installed search server or can be pointed to a remote search server to handle search execution tasks. NOTE: For specific guidelines and requirements about installing search products, see Siebel Search Administration Guide. Database RequirementsMake sure your database administrator has installed the RDBMS your site will be using and created the Siebel Database instance and that you meet all database connectivity requirements. For more information, see Configuring the RDBMS. See also Configuring Connectivity to the Siebel Database. The RDBMS you are using must support the same languages and code pages that you will install on the Siebel Servers. For code pages and languages supported both for Siebel Servers and the RDBMS, refer to Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network. Third-Party Software RequirementsMake sure that you have already installed the appropriate version of all third-party software products required. Otherwise, the Required Software Components prompt appears. For more information, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network. Temporary Disk SpaceReview the issues described in Managing Temporary Disk Space Required by Siebel Installers and Wizards. For example, make sure you have adequate disk space. |
