How to Verify the Siebel Installation and Configuration

Use this procedure to verify the Siebel gateway, Siebel server, and Siebel database installation and configuration. This procedure does not verify that your application is highly available because you have not installed your data service yet.

1. Verify that the logical hostname is online on the node on which the resource(s) will be brought online.

2. Manually start the Siebel gateway as the user who will launch the Siebel gateway.

3. Manually start the Siebel server as the user who will launch the Siebel server.

4. Use odbcsql to verify connectivity to the Siebel database.

   # odbcsql /s siebsrvr_siebel_enterprise /u dbuser /p dbpassword

5. Run list servers sub-command under srvrmgr.

   The HOST_NAME parameter for the Siebel server will show the physical hostname. After the Siebel server is configured to be highly available, the HOST_NAME should show the logical hostname for the Siebel server.

6. Test various Siebel user sessions, such as sales and call center using a Siebel dedicated client and supported thin client (browser).

7. Manually stop the Siebel server as the user who started the Siebel server.

8. Manually stop the Siebel gateway as the user who started the Siebel gateway.
