Installing the Database Server Software Under Windows

Complete the steps below to install the Siebel Database Server files under Windows. You must already have a Siebel Server installed on the computer.

To install the database server software under Windows

Exit any programs that are open.

Insert the Windows Server Programs Language CD-ROM (where Language stands for the Language Pack you want to deploy) into the CD-ROM drive of the chosen machine.

The machine must have Siebel Server software installed. In the following instructions, the CD-ROM drive is assumed to be D:\.

In Windows Explorer, go to the directory D:\windows_server_LANGUAGE\ses and double-click install.exe.

If you are installing a U.S. English version of the product, the path appears as \windows_server_1_enu\ses.

In the Choose Setup Language screen, from the drop-down list, select the language in which you want the installer to appear and click OK.

If this is the first time you are installing, the Welcome to Servers Setup screen appears. Proceed to Step 6.

If this is not the first time you are installing, the Existing Installations Found screen appears.

In the Existing Installations Found screen:

To install a new language pack to an existing installation instance, select it from the screen and click Next. Proceed to Step 11.

To install this server, leave the displayed installations unselected and click Next. Proceed to Step 6.

Read the Welcome to Siebel eBusiness Applications Servers Setup screen and click Next to continue with the setup program.

Check to be sure there are no other programs open before continuing.

In the Select Components screen, choose from the following options:

Install all components at once by clicking Select All.

Select all components for which you bought a license.

Select just the Siebel Database Server at this time for installation and configuration. (You install and configure the other server components individually at a later time.)

CAUTION: If you choose to install and configure all the components at once for which your company has a license, you cannot later uninstall any of them individually. You must uninstall them all as a group at the same time.

If you install all licensed components at once, the SES Installer and the Siebel Software Configuration Utility prompt you for the installation parameters of each component individually and in the sequence required except in the case of the database server. You must activate the DB Server Configuration Utility manually to configure the software.

To continue, click Next.

In the Setup Type screen, choose the type of Siebel Database Server installation to execute from the following options:

Typical. This setup option installs all Siebel Database Server components except those displayed.

Compact. There is no compact installation option for this server.

Custom. This setup option lets you customize your installation by choosing the specific components you want to install. For example, using the Custom installation option, you can install only the software for DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS, rather than software for all the supported databases.

CAUTION: If you select Custom installation, make sure that you also select Sample File Attachments the first time you install the software. These attachments must be copied to the Siebel File System directory after configuration. Otherwise, the required file attachments will not be installed.

To continue, click Next.

The installer installs Siebel Database Server software in the default directory C:\sea7xx\dbsrvr.

If you wish to choose a different installation directory:

Click Browse.

Type the name of the directory you recorded in Deployment Planning Worksheet.

NOTE: This directory name must not contain spaces, apostrophes, hyphens, or other special characters. Underscores are allowed.

If you chose the Custom installation type, proceed to Step 10.

If you chose the Typical installation type, proceed to Step 11.

In the Select Components screen, select just those database platform components you want to install, in this case, DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS plus the Sample File Attachments, as described earlier.

To continue, click Next.

In the Choose Languages screen, select the appropriate Language Pack for the Siebel Database Server. At a minimum, this should consist of the base (primary) server language and (optionally) one or more additional languages.

You can only select one language at a time.

NOTE: Unless your database is Unicode-enabled, Siebel Systems does not support installation of any language other than U.S. English on top of a base Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Korean language pack. See Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms for more information about supported language packs.

To continue, click Next.

When the Select Program Folder screen appears, the installer automatically adds program icons to a folder in the Windows Program file called Siebel Enterprise Server 7.x.x after you click Next.

To override the default action and install the program icons to a different Program folder in the list under Existing Folders, select that folder and click Next.

To accept the default action, click Next.

The Start Copying Files screen appears. This screen offers you the opportunity to review the settings you have selected.

Review the settings by using the Back button, and when you are satisfied that the values you selected are correct, click Next.

The Setup Status screen appears to show you installation progress.

NOTE: During installation you might be prompted to accept or decline installation of a read-only file. If you receive this prompt, accept it.

After all Siebel Database Server files, including the Language Pack you specified, have been installed, the Event Log appears, displaying the status of your installation.

This log can also be accessed under sea7xx\SESsetup.log

To continue, click Next.

When the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen announces that software installation was completed successfully, click Finish.

A Windows Explorer window appears, showing the directory where the Database Server Configuration Utility icon resides alongside icons for any other servers you have already installed.

Proceed to Reviewing the Software Installation.
