NOTE: For operating system support details, including supported versions and product support exceptions, see the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.
In this guide, Windows refers to all of the Microsoft Windows operating system versions that are supported for server or client platforms (for applicable Siebel modules) for this release. The supported versions are listed in the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support. Supported UNIX operating systems include IBM AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Oracle Solaris (for SPARC). In Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX, supported Linux operating systems are usually discussed in generic terms and are not differentiated. However, some information in this guide applies only to particular Linux operating systems. Both the Windows and UNIX versions of this guide contain information about installing client-based modules, such as Siebel Mobile Web Clients or Siebel Tools, on Microsoft Windows. Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX does not contain detailed information about installing Siebel Enterprise Server and Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) on Windows. Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX does not contain information about either Microsoft SQL Server or about Microsoft Internet Information Services (Microsoft IIS). Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows does not contain information about UNIX-based Web servers. Siebel Management Server, a server module that is available only on Windows, is documented in both versions of this guide. However, some information relevant to configuring this module is provided only in Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows. Additional Information
