Configuring System Environment Variables

This topic describes how to configure system environment variables on Windows and on UNIX. For more information about Siebel-specific environment variables, see About System Environment Variables. For a list of some of the Siebel environment variables, see Table 9.

Configuring an Environment Variable on Windows

This procedure describes how to configure an environment variable on Windows.

To configure an environment variable on Windows

1. Choose Start, Settings, Control Panel, and then double-click System.
2. Click the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables.
3. In the System Variables section, click New to create a new environment variable.

   For a partial list of Siebel environment variables, see Table 9.

4. Set the Variable Name field to the name of a Siebel environment variable.
5. Set the Variable Value field to the value for the Siebel environment variable.
6. Restart the computer for the environment variables to take effect.

Configuring an Environment Variable on UNIX

This procedure describes how to configure an environment variable on UNIX.

To configure an environment variable on UNIX

1. Log in as the Siebel Service owner user.
2. Run the siebenv.sh or siebenv.csh script to set Siebel environment variables. For more information about these scripts, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX.
3. Depending on the type of UNIX operating system that you use, enter a command like the following to set the environment variable.

   For Korn shell:

   export Siebel_Environment_Variable=Variable_Value

   For C shell:

   setenv Siebel_Environment_Variable Variable_Value

   where:

   • Siebel_Environment_Variable is a Siebel-specific environment variable.
   • Variable_Value is the setting for the environment variable.

     For example, enter the following command for C shell:

   setenv SIEBEL_SARMLevel 1

4. Restart the computer for the environment variables to take effect.
