Siebel Enterprise Server

The Siebel Enterprise Server is a logical grouping of Siebel Servers that supports a group of users accessing a common Siebel Database Server. The Siebel Enterprise Server can be configured, managed, and monitored as a single logical group, allowing the Siebel administrator to start, stop, monitor, or set parameters for Siebel Servers within a Siebel Enterprise Server.

You can set some Siebel Server parameters at the Siebel Enterprise Server level, and these parameters will apply to every Siebel Server and component operating within that Siebel Enterprise Server; other parameters can be adjusted at the Siebel Server or component level to support fine-tuning. If a parameter is set at the server level, then the server-specific value overrides the Siebel Enterprise Server setting for the parameter on that server.

Each Siebel Server belonging to a Siebel Enterprise Server should connect to the same schema in the same database server.

The Siebel Enterprise Server itself has no processes and, therefore, cannot have a state. However, you can start and shut down operations at the Siebel Enterprise Server level, and these actions will apply to every Siebel Server within that Siebel Enterprise Server.

For information on administering the Siebel Enterprise Server, see Siebel Enterprise Server Administration.

NOTE:  Make sure server hardware and software requirements meet minimum standards. For more information, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms. (Release notes and the system requirements and supported platforms document for Siebel applications can be found on Siebel SupportWeb)
