Installing Siebel Server for PIMSI Engine

The next part of the SSSE installation process is to install Siebel Enterprise Server software on the machine that will host the PIMSI Engine server component. This server will be part of the Enterprise you created in Installing Siebel Server for PIMSI Dispatcher.

NOTE:  For optimal performance, it is recommended that the PIMSI Dispatcher component and the PIMSI Engine component be run on separate machines.

This task is a step in the process that is outlined in Roadmap for Installing SSSE.

CAUTION:  Never install Microsoft Outlook on a machine that will run the Siebel Exchange Connector application, because Outlook overwrites a critical Exchange library with a less functional version.

The installation of Siebel Enterprise Server software for PIMSI Engine must have the following characteristics:

• Beginning with the version 7.7 base build, install and configure the Siebel Server software component on a supported Windows platform. For more information, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb. Select the Custom installation type and make sure you select PIM Server Integration for installation.

  CAUTION:  If you do not select PIM Server Integration when you install version 7.7, the installation program does not install SSSE portions of Maintenance Releases and Fix Pack Releases such as 7.7.2 and 7.7.2.3.

• Choose a language that is supported for SSSE. For more information, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.
• After the installation of files is complete, continue following prompts to configure the Siebel Server software component.
• Make a mental note of the Windows User Account Name and Windows User Account Password that you specify. You will need to use the same account name and password later in the configuration process, when you configure the DCOM security settings for the connector application.

For more detailed information about how to perform this task, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

For information about configuring SSSE, after the installation is complete, see Configuring Siebel Server Sync.
