Configuring the SWSE Logical Profile


This procedure describes how to configure an SWSE logical profile. The same steps apply whether you are configuring the first SWSE logical profile, reconfiguring the same profile with different settings, or configuring any additional profile.

For background information, see About Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

This topic is part of Process of Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

To configure the SWSE logical profile

  1. Start the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard.

    For more information, see Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard.

  2. Choose Create New Configuration, then Configure a New Siebel Web Server Extension Logical Profile.
  3. Provide input as described in Table 5. The wizard displays help text with more information about these settings.
  4. Click Exit Configuration to exit the Configuration Wizard.

Configuration Settings for the SWSE Logical Profile

Table 8 describes the settings for configuring the SWSE logical profile.

For example, for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 on Windows, the default SWSE logical profile location is C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\gtwysrvr\
admin\Webserver
.

You specify this location later when you configure the SWSE, as described in Applying the SWSE Logical Profile.
