Installing the Siebel Web Server Extension

This topic provides instructions for installing the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) on your Web server computer.

The installation program sets up the Siebel directory structures and copies the required files and components to the target location on the Web server.

If you are installing from a remote computer, or using X-connectivity software to access a UNIX computer from a Windows computer, then see also Installing Siebel Business Applications from a Remote Server Computer.

NOTE:  The following procedure is for installing a new installation of the base release, Siebel Business Applications version 8.1.1.8 or later, using the Siebel Fix Pack installer. For information about installing a maintenance release onto an existing installation of the base release, using a Siebel Fix Pack installer, see the applicable Siebel Maintenance Release Guide on My Oracle Support, 880452.1 (Article ID). See also About Installing Siebel Maintenance Releases.

This task is a step in:

To install the SWSE

  1. Review About Installing Siebel Business Applications.
  2. Install or create an instance of the Web server, and record the port number at which it is listening. For more information, see Installing the Web Server.
  3. (Optional) Uninstall your existing SWSE.
  4. (AIX only) Before installing, verify that the login ID performing installation has permission to run slibclean by asking the administrator to change the permission as follows:

    chmod 6555 /usr/sbin/slibclean

  5. (AIX only) Execute the following command:

    /usr/sbin/slibclean

  6. Open a new shell and navigate to the Siebel image location for the current software version. Then navigate to the directory where the installer is located. For example, for Oracle Solaris, navigate to Siebel_Image/Solaris/Server/Siebel_Web_Server_Extension/Disk1/install.

    In this path, Siebel_Image is the directory for your version-specific Siebel network image, such as /Siebel_Install_Image/8.1.1.10.

  7. Verify the directories and permissions to those directories into which you will install the Siebel module. You must have read, write, and execute permission.
  8. To start the SWSE installer, enter the following command:

    ./runInstaller -oneclick -jreLoc jre_location -invPtrLoc inventory_location

    where:

    • jre_location is the full path of the installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) software. On AIX, you must use the -jreLoc option. It is not required on other operating systems. For more information about the JRE requirements for AIX, see Requirements Specific to UNIX or Linux Operating Systems.
    • inventory_location is the full path of the oraInst.loc file (for example, /export/home/oraInst.loc), which points to the OUI inventory location. Use the -invPtrLoc option if you want to specify an inventory pointer file other than the default.

      The Welcome screen appears for the Siebel maintenance release installer.

  9. Take the action appropriate to the task that you are performing. Do one of the following:
    • To perform a new installation where no existing installation of the same version is present, click Next. Go to Step 10.
    • To install the Siebel Fix Pack release, version 8.1.1.8 or later, into an existing installation of version 8.1.1 or 8.1.1.x, see the applicable Siebel Maintenance Release Guide on My Oracle Support, 880452.1 (Article ID).
  10. In the Installation Details and Progress screen, click Install to proceed with installing the base release.
  11. In the welcome screen for Siebel Web Server Extension, click Next.

    The Select Oracle Home and Oracle Location screen appears.

  12. Enter a name for your installation, and specify the installation location, and then click Next. (Note the installation name and location for future reference.) Note the following:
    • The default installation name (Oracle Home Name) is EAPPWEB_HOME. If you have an existing installation, then you must specify a new name for a new installation.
    • The default installation path (Oracle Home Location) is /siebel/8.1.1.0.0/sweapp or a similar value. Accept the default path or specify a different fully qualified path by typing it directly or by using the Browse button. If you have an existing installation, then you must specify a new path for the new installation.

      For more information about Oracle home and installation path requirements, see File and Directory Naming Conventions.

      CAUTION:  Do not specify the Web server installation directory as the directory in which to install SWSE. Doing this will result in configuration errors later.

      The Select Languages screen appears. All of the languages that were included in the Siebel network image are available for selection.

  13. Select the languages that you want to install, and click Next. You must select at least one language in order to proceed.

    You install languages in order to run applications using these languages. The first language that you install serves as the primary (base) language, in which your server messages and log files will display. If you install multiple languages, then, when you configure the SWSE, you can specify which installed languages to deploy and which installed language is the primary language.

    You must install and deploy on the SWSE the superset of all of the languages required by the Application Object Managers that connect to it. It is strongly recommended that you install and deploy, or at least install, all of the languages that are installed in the Siebel Enterprise Server.

    For more information about installing and deploying languages, see About Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

    NOTE:  If you previously canceled an installation and are installing a new instance, then the installer might display a message that you are installing into a nonempty directory. You can proceed with the installation.

    A screen appears that prompts for email contact information.

  14. For the current release, leave this screen blank and click Next.

    Oracle Configuration Manager software is installed on the target computer if it was not previously installed. For more information, see About Oracle Configuration Manager.

    The Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks screen appears.

  15. Before proceeding, review the installation requirements for the SWSE that you are installing.

    If one or more installation requirements have not been met, then correct any missing requirements. (You might have to exit the installer, satisfy the requirements, and restart the installation process.) When you are ready to proceed, click Next.

    For more information about installing and deploying languages, see About Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

    If you are adding languages to an existing installation, then go to Step 17.

    The installer prompts for the SWSE cryptographic seed. For more information, see Siebel Security Guide.

  16. Enter the cryptographic seed that you will use for your installation of Siebel Web Server Extension.

    The installer displays the location into which it will install the SWSE. It also displays the disk space required for the software that you are installing.

  17. Review the information in the Summary screen. In particular, confirm that you have met all of the disk space requirements for installation. Click Install to begin installing the SWSE software.

    SWSE software is installed into the directory specified in Step 12.

  18. Click Exit.

    The Installation Details and Progress screen appears. Additional files are installed, as shown in this screen. Wait until you see the message indicating that the installation was successful.

  19. When all of the files have been installed, click Exit.

    The SWSE installation is now finished.

After installing the SWSE, you configure it (configure the SWSE logical profile and apply it to the SWSE). See Process of Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.
