Properties File Settings for Cloning an Installation


Table 20 describes the possible settings in the properties files for different cloning operations and provides some usage information. The properties files themselves also provide basic usage information. Different settings apply depending on the particulars of your cloning operation, such as whether you are creating or deploying a clone, cloning the Siebel Server or the Siebel Web Server Extension, using Microsoft Windows or UNIX, creating or deploying a full clone or a delta clone, and so on.

Exclude File List

Creating a clone

A comma-separated list of files in the source instance that will be excluded when you create a clone. You can use wildcards. For each file that you specify, you must include the full path.

Source Host Name

The host name of the source computer for which you are creating a clone. This setting cannot be null.

Target Host Name

Deploying a clone

The host name of the target computer on which you are deploying a clone. This setting cannot be null.

Target Gateway Server Host Name

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The host name of the computer hosting the Siebel Gateway Name Server for the target instance.

Gateway Port

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The port number of the Siebel Gateway Name Server for the source instance or target instance.

Language

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The language code (such as RUS for Russian) for the primary language for the source instance or target instance. You must use the same setting for creating and for deploying a clone. This setting cannot be null.

UserName

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The name of the Siebel Administrator user who will access the source instance or target instance, such as SADMIN. This setting cannot be null.

Password

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The password for the Siebel Administrator user. This setting cannot be null.

Source Enterprise Name

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The name of the Siebel Enterprise for the source instance.

Specify the Siebel Enterprise name if you are exporting the Siebel Enterprise configuration when you create the clone. Do this if deploying the clone will also create a new Siebel Gateway Name Server on the target computer. To export the Siebel Enterprise configuration, you also must specify Export Enterprise = Y.

If no value is provided, then no Siebel Enterprise configuration is exported when you create the clone.

Source Siebel Server Name

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The name of the Siebel Server for the source instance.

Specify the Siebel Server name if you are exporting the Siebel Server configuration when you create the clone. This is the expected usage case for cloning a Siebel Server. To export the Siebel Server configuration, you must specify Export Siebel Server = Y.

If no value is provided, then no Siebel Server configuration is exported when you create the clone.

Export Enterprise

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The possible values are:

  • Y. Exports the Siebel Enterprise configuration when you create a clone. This setting assumes that the Siebel Enterprise has been defined for the source instance and is specified using Source Enterprise Name. The Siebel Gateway Name Server must be running when you create the clone.
  • N. Does not export the Siebel Enterprise configuration when you create a clone.

This setting cannot be null.

Export Siebel Server

Creating a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The possible values are:

  • Y. Exports the Siebel Server configuration when you create a clone. This setting assumes that the Siebel Server is running on the source instance and is specified using Source Siebel Server Name. The Siebel Gateway Name Server must be running when you create the clone.
  • N. Does not export the Siebel Server configuration when you create a clone.

This setting cannot be null.

Target Enterprise Name

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The name of the Siebel Enterprise for the target instance. This setting cannot be null.

If you exported the Siebel Enterprise configuration when you created the clone, then set Target Enterprise Name to match the setting you used for Source Enterprise Name. In this case, you are creating a new Siebel Gateway Name Server on the target computer. To import the Siebel Enterprise configuration, you must specify Import Enterprise = Y and set Create Gateway = Y.

If an existing Siebel Gateway Name Server runs on a computer that is different from the target computer, then specify the name of an existing Siebel Enterprise and point to an existing Siebel Gateway Name Server, which must be running. In this case, you are not creating the Siebel Gateway Name Server on the target computer. You must set Import Enterprise = N and Create Gateway = N.

Target Siebel Server Name

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The name of the Siebel Server for the target instance. This setting cannot be null.

To import the Siebel Server configuration, you also specify Import Siebel Server = Y.

Import Enterprise

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The possible values are:

  • Y. Imports the Siebel Enterprise configuration when you deploy a clone. This setting assumes that the Siebel Enterprise configuration was exported when you created the clone. The Siebel Gateway Name Server must be running when you deploy the clone.
  • N. Does not import the Siebel Enterprise configuration when you deploy a clone.

This setting cannot be null.

Import Siebel Server

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The possible values are:

  • Y. Imports the Siebel Server configuration when you deploy a clone. This setting assumes that the Siebel Server configuration was exported when you created the clone. The Siebel Gateway Name Server must be running when you deploy the clone.
  • N. Does not import the Siebel Server configuration when you deploy a clone.

This setting cannot be null.

Create Gateway

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

The possible values are:

  • Y. Creates the Siebel Gateway Name Server when you deploy a clone. The Siebel Gateway Name Server is created using the settings for Target Host Name, Gateway Port, Username, and Password.
  • N. Does not create the Siebel Gateway Name Server when you deploy a clone.

This setting cannot be null.

Gateway.VersionString

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Specifies the version string for the Siebel Gateway Name Server. Use this setting if you are creating a new instance of Siebel Gateway Name Server on the target computer.

Gateway.UseDefault

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Use this setting if you are creating a new instance of the Siebel Gateway Name Server on the target computer.

Gateway.CreateDefault

Deploying a clone (for Siebel Enterprise Server only)

Use this setting if you are creating a new instance of the Siebel Gateway Name Server on the target computer.
