Creating a Staging Point

---

You may choose to copy the installation CD-ROMs to a staging point. This allows you to complete the installation process without physically inserting and swapping CDs. You must create a staging point in order to perform a system-wide installation from unattended mode.

To create a staging point

Determine which languages need to be installed.
Create a target installation directory from which to stage system-wide installations.
Insert the Windows Server Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server, Base CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the installation machine.
Navigate to the \ses directory and copy the files there to your target installation directory.
From the target installation directory, create separate language directories for the languages you will be installing.
If you are installing a language that spans more than one CD, create a directory for each CD under the directory for each language. For example:

windows_server_ses_lang\
   ses\
      enu\
         disk1
         disk2

Insert the Windows Server Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server, Language CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the machine

where:

Language = the Language Pack being installed.

Navigate to the \ses\language_directory and copy the files to the corresponding language directory you created in Step 5.
Repeat this for each language you are installing.

NOTE:  When installing the Siebel Web Server Extension or CORBA OM, no CD swapping is required, so that you can install from the CD-ROM.
