Using the Command Line Interface to Administer Server Components

This topic describes how to use the Server Manager command line interface to administer server components. It includes the following topics:

• Opening the Command Line Interface for Server Manager
• Using the Command Line to Administer Server Components
• Using the Command Line to Stop or Start the Siebel Remote Component Group
• Using the Command Line to Start a Task for a Server Component
• Using the Command Line to Start Multiple Tasks for a Server Component

Some of the commands in this topic reference the alias for the server component. For a list of these aliases, see Server Components That Siebel Remote Uses.

Opening the Command Line Interface for Server Manager

To manage server components, you can use the Server Manager command line of the Server Manager. If you open a Server Manager command line, then make sure you indicate the Siebel Server name. If you do not, then the Server Manager is set to the Siebel Enterprise Server, by default. For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.

To open the command line interface for Server Manager

1. On the Siebel Server, choose Start, and then choose Run.
2. Type cmd in the Open window, and then click OK.

   The command line interface opens.

3. At the command line prompt, type srvrmgr server_name.

   where:

   • server_name is the name of the Siebel Server where you must enter a command.

     The Server Manager command line opens, and displays as follows:

   srvrmgr server_name

Using the Command Line to Administer Server Components

To administer the Siebel Remote component group and individual server components, you can use the Server Manager command line.

To use the command line to administer server components

1. Open the Server Manager command line.

   For more information, see Opening the Command Line Interface for Server Manager.

2. Optional. Turn on event logging.

   For more information, see Using Event Logging with Server Components.

3. Navigate to the SIEBEL_ROOT\bin folder.
4. Enter the following command:

   srvrmgr /e enterprise server name /g gateway server name /u username /p password

   where:

   • username is the username of the Siebel administrator
   • password is the password of the Siebel administrator
   • For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.
5. From the Server Manager command line, enter the following command:

   enable compgrp remote

   This command starts the Siebel Remote component group. This group includes the server components that are described in Server Components That Siebel Remote Uses.

6. Optional. Start more tasks for individual server components.

   For more information, see Using the Command Line to Start Multiple Tasks for a Server Component.

7. Log in to the Siebel Server with administrator privileges.

   For more information, see Logging In to the Siebel Server as an Administrator.

8. Navigate to the Administration-Server Configuration screen, Enterprises, and then the Synchronize view.
9. Click Synchronize.

   For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.

Using the Command Line to Stop or Start the Siebel Remote Component Group

This topic describes how to use the command line to stop or start the Siebel Remote component group.

To use the command line to stop or start the Siebel Remote component group

• To stop the Siebel Remote component group, from the Server Manager command line, enter the following command:

  disable compgrp remote

• To start the Siebel Remote component group for a Siebel Server, from the Server Manager command line, enter the following command:

  enable compgrp remote for server server_name

  This command enables Siebel Remote only on some Siebel Servers in the Siebel Enterprise, rather than on every Siebel Server. For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.

• To use the command line to start or stop an individual server component of the Siebel Remote component group, from the Server Manager command line, enter the following command:

  command compdef component_alias_name

  where:

  • command is enable or disable. It starts or stops the server component.
  • component_alias_name is the name of the alias for the server component.

    You can use the comp or compdef command. For more information, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

Using the Command Line to Start a Task for a Server Component

You can use the Server Manager command line to start a task for a server component for Siebel Remote. To automatically start Synchronization Manager, the Siebel Server uses the default configuration. An explicit configuration is typically not required.

To use the command line to start a task for a server component

1. Open the Server Manager command line.

   For more information, see Opening the Command Line Interface for Server Manager

2. To start a task for a server component, enter the following command in a single line:

   start task for comp component_alias_name server server_name with parameter_1=value_1, parameter_2=value_2,...

   where:

   • component_alias_name is the name of the alias for the server component
   • server_name is the name of the Siebel Server where the server component runs
   • parameter_1 is a parameter of the server component
   • value_1 is the value for parameter_1

     For example:

   start task for comp dbxtract server sdchs20n512 with client=regional_node_1, initmethod=ddl

   For more information, see Server Component Parameters.

3. To administer another server components, repeat Step 2.

Using the Command Line to Start Multiple Tasks for a Server Component

To start multiple tasks for a server component, you must use the start task command. For information about how many tasks to start for a server component, see Options for Configuring the Siebel Server.

To use the command line to start multiple tasks for a server component

• From the Server Manager command line, enter the following command:

  start task for comp component_alias_name

  where:

  • component_alias_name is the alias name of the server component
