Running the Generate New Database Server Component

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Siebel Server. It includes the following topics:

• Creating a New Database for Siebel Remote
• Distributing Database Templates to Siebel Servers
• Setting the Password for the Local Database Administrator
• Using a Character Data Type with an Extension Column
• Configuring the Collating Sequence
• Encrypting the Local Database

A database template is a database that contains no user data but does contain the structure that Siebel Remote requires for use with a Siebel application. You run the Generate New Database server component to create a new database template. If you modify the server database schema, then you must create a new database template. The following items are examples of modifying the server database schema:

• You install the Database Configuration Utilities
• You upgrade to a new version of a Siebel application
• Use Siebel Tools to extend the server database schema, except if you use Oracle's Siebel Anywhere to deliver a database schema upgrade kit. An extension can include extension tables, extension columns, or extension indexes. For more information, see Using a Character Data Type with an Extension Column.
• You use a collating sequence other than the default sequence. For more information, see Configuring the Collating Sequence.

Siebel Remote No Longer Supports Dbinit

Some earlier versions of Siebel Remote supported the creation of a new empty database file through the Dbinit utility that Siebel Remote used with a SQL Anywhere database. Siebel Remote no longer supports this utility. You must still create a new database template before you can extract a database. Siebel Remote uses these files to create a new database template. They are not a substitute for a database template.
