Installing the Database Server Software Under UNIX

---

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

To install the database server software under UNIX

Insert the Solaris|AIX Server Programs Language CD-ROM (where Language stands for the Language Pack you are installing) into the CD-ROM drive of the chosen computer.

If required by your UNIX configuration, mount the CD.

Log on to the server, using the Resonate Manager/Siebel service owner account that you recorded in your copy of Deployment Planning Worksheet then enter ksh to run a Korn shell. Mount the CD-ROM, if required, to make it accessible.

The volume label for the CD is sfsaixlanguage2 or sfssollanguage2. The volume label might not be required, depending on how you access the CD-ROM.

At the prompt, enter the following command:

umask 027

This command verifies that the permissions mask for your installation shell is set appropriately.

CAUTION:  If you skip this step, the permissions might be set incorrectly on your Siebel application's installation files. This would require you to reset them before continuing with the installation.

Start a shell and go to $SIEBEL_ROOT. Depending on the kind of shell you run, enter . ./siebenv.sh or source siebenv.csh to source environment variables.

NOTE:  Make sure there is a space between the two periods in . ./siebenv.sh

Enter env to review environment variable settings, and ensure that the Siebel environment variables SIEBEL_ROOT (the Siebel file installation directory) and LANG (the code for the Language Pack you are installing, such as ENU for U.S. English) are set correctly to the directory where the Siebel Server software is installed.

NOTE:  If you change the location of $SIEBEL_ROOT, you can edit the value here to reflect the new path.

SIEBEL_ROOT should be the path of your Siebel installation directory.

LANGUAGE should be set to the language in which the Configuration Wizard prompts appear, for example, enu for U.S. English.

NOTE:  LANGUAGE is not the same as LANG; LANGUAGE is the language in which the Configuration Wizard runs, while LANG is the code for the Language Pack you installed.

If either of these values is incorrect or empty, reset them using one of the following commands, as appropriate to the shell you use:

csh

setenv SIEBEL_ROOT New Value

setenv LANGUAGE New Value

ksh

SIEBEL_ROOT=New Value ; export SIEBEL_ROOT

LANGUAGE=New Value; export LANGUAGE

Go to the following directory on the CD-ROM:

dbsrvr/install

Enter ./install_dbsrvr to start the Siebel Database Server software installation script.

The installation script displays the languages available in which to run the installation.

Enter the number corresponding to the language in which you want to view installation prompts, for example, 1 for U.S. English (enu).

The script displays the following message:

The indicated packages are selected for installation
[X] IBM DB2 UDB for Unix and Windows
[ ] IBM DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS
[ ] Oracle Database Enterprise Edition
[X] Sample File Attachments
Would you like to accept these settings? (Y to install files, N to change) [Y]

The databases displayed are the supported databases for this release.

To select a different database, or if you choose not to install the sample file attachments, type N.

NOTE:  It is recommended that you select N. If you select Y, only the DB2 UDB and the sample file attachments will be installed.

If you select N, the installer prompts you separately with the name of each supported database. Proceed to Step 9.

To accept the default database and sample file attachments, press ENTER or type Y. Proceed to Step 13.
Indicate your database choices.

The installer prompts you to select or decline the sample file attachments with your database files.

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

Enter N or Y as appropriate.

The installer displays the values you chose and prompts you to verify your choices.

Confirm your choices:
To confirm your choices, press ENTER or type Y.

The installer displays the Language Pack selected for this database server instance.

To reject the choices you made, enter N.

The installer redisplays the database file installation options available.

Review the packages selected for installation.
To accept the defaults, enter Y at the prompt to proceed with the installation.
To make changes to the package selection, enter N at the prompt and make the necessary changes.
Confirm your Language Pack choice:
To confirm the Language Pack selected, press ENTER or type Y.
To abort the installation of this Language Pack, enter N. In this case, you must exit the installation of the database and install the Language Pack you require.

The database server software installer displays the files it is copying to your disk, creates the required directories and shell scripts, and exits when installation has finished.

A message informs you when Siebel Database Server file installation is complete.
