Installing and Configuring MobileSys MX Server

One-way wireless messaging with Siebel Wireless Messaging requires that the MobileSys MX wireless messaging server be installed and configured to connect with the Siebel Server.

Versions of MobileSys MX supporting Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 and Sun Solaris platforms are included in DVDs provided by Siebel Systems. DVDs and locations are identified below.

• For Windows, the DVD is Siebel eBusiness Applications, Base Applications for Windows. Using Windows Explorer, navigate from the DVD root directory to the folder Windows\Server_Ancillary\mobilesys_mx\enu to find the files to install.
• For Solaris, the DVD is Siebel eBusiness Applications, Base Applications for Solaris. Navigate from the DVD root directory to the folder Solaris/Server_Ancillary/mobilesys_mx/enu to find the files to install.

NOTE:  For heterogeneous environments, you can install MobileSys MX on one of the above platforms, even if your Siebel Server runs on a supported UNIX platform not listed above. For specific information on supported operating systems and versions, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb, and refer to the release notes provided by MobileSys.

For instructions for installing MobileSys MX, see MobileSys documentation on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf.

NOTE:  The installation documentation for MobileSys MX assumes that you are connecting directly to network operators to send messages. If you will send messages through the MobileSys Network instead, visit http://siebel.mobilesys.net for alternate installation instructions. These connection options are described in Installing and Configuring Siebel Wireless Messaging.

MobileSys MX may be installed on the same server that hosts the Siebel Server, or on its own server. Siebel Communications Server sends XML messages to MobileSys MX over HTTP using the Wireless Messaging 1-Way communications driver.

A service node must be defined within MobileSys MX to support each network operator and message type. The service node definition is part of the MobileSys MX configuration file.

NOTE:  If you experience difficulties with the installation, configuration, or operation of the MobileSys MX wireless messaging engine, contact Siebel Technical Support. Siebel Technical Support will work with MobileSys to resolve relevant issues.
