Configuring a Queue Manager on a Computer Other than the Siebel Server Computer

You can configure a queue manager on a computer that does not host the Siebel Server. This computer can be put in the trusted network or in a DMZ. However, the queue manager host computer and port must be accessible to all Siebel Handheld clients and the Siebel Server.

To configure this setup, the same steps must be performed on the computer hosting the Siebel Server.

To perform set up on the Siebel Server

1. Open a command window and change to the bin directory of the Siebel Server installation.
2. Run the batch file deployqm.bat and follow the on-screen prompts.

   This step produces a directory tree named C:\SiebelSMQ by default.

3. Copy the C:\SiebelSMQ folder to the computer that will host the queue manager.

To perform set up of queue manager on the target computer

1. Install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.3.1 or higher if the computer does not already have an installed instance.
2. Update the system path to include the directory containing java.exe.

   Usually this is a directory named bin in the JRE installation.

3. Open a command window and navigate to the bin directory that was copied in To perform set up on the Siebel Server.
4. Run the batch file setupqm.bat and follow the on-screen prompts.

   The default values for queue manager name, directory, and port should be applicable for most installations. Check with your IT system administrator to be sure the default listener port 8082 is available to use. Alternatively, you can specify a different port number to use from here.

5. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks.
6. Right-click the Scheduled Task for the queue manager that you just created and choose Run.

   Verify the task's status is changed to Running in the Scheduled Tasks folder window.
