Before You Begin


You must have the Siebel Enterprise Server, which includes the Siebel Gateway Name Server, the Siebel Server, and the Siebel Database Server, installed. For installation information, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

About the Siebel Server and Siebel Tools on Windows

It is recommended that the Siebel Server and Siebel Tools be installed on the same Windows computer. If your Siebel Server is installed on Windows, then the merge process automatically starts Siebel Tools to execute the incremental repository merge. For this reason, the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard must be started from the computer where Siebel Tools is installed.

If the Siebel Enterprise server is not installed on the same computer as Siebel Tools, then map a network drive from the computer where Siebel Tools is installed to the computer where Siebel Enterprise Server is installed. Use this mapped drive to specify the location of the Siebel Server when you run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard.

NOTE:  Because the merge process requires extensive database resources, it is recommended that before beginning the incremental repository merge process, you set the general cursor size to 5000.
