Configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server for Automatic Start on Linux or Oracle Solaris


Use the procedure in this topic to configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server to start automatically on either Linux or Oracle Solaris.

This topic is part of Configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server for Automatic Start.

To configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server to start automatically on Linux or Oracle Solaris

  1. Log on as root to the computer on which the Siebel Gateway Name Server was installed.
  2. Copy the file siebel_server to the /etc/init.d directory, as follows:

    cp $SIEBEL_HOME/bin/siebel_server /etc/init.d

    In this command, $SIEBEL_HOME is the full path to the Siebel root directory.

  3. Using any text editor, edit /etc/init.d/siebel_server. Make sure that $SIEBEL_GATEWAY_ROOT points to the path to the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation directory.
  4. Set the appropriate permissions by executing the following command:

    chmod 755 /etc/init.d/siebel_server

  5. Create a soft link to /etc/rc3.d/S72siebel_server from /etc/init.d/siebel_server by executing the following command.

    ln -s /etc/init.d/siebel_server /etc/rc3.d/S72siebel_server

  6. Create a soft link to /etc/rc2.d/K32siebel_server from /etc/init.d/siebel_server by executing the following command:

    ln -s /etc/init.d/siebel_server /etc/rc2.d/K32siebel_server

  7. Create or edit /etc/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot to add the following line:

    /usr/bin/su - SIEBEL_ACCOUNT -c "/etc/init.d/siebel_server $1"

    In this command, SIEBEL_ACCOUNT is the nonroot user account installing Siebel Business Applications.

  8. Remove /etc/rc3.d/S72siebel_server and /etc/rc2.d/K32siebel_server, if they already exist.
  9. Execute the following commands:

    chmod 755 /etc/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot

    ln -s /etc/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot /etc/rc3.d/S72siebel_server

    ln -s /etc/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot /etc/rc2.d/K32siebel_server
