Installing and Configuring the Siebel Enterprise Server and Web Clients

In the third step, you install and configure the Siebel Enterprise Server and Web Clients. These activities are summarized below. For details, see Siebel Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows and Siebel Web Client Administration Guide.

During the installation, the various components of the Siebel Enterprise Server software and the Siebel Connector for Oracle Applications are installed on the Siebel Enterprise Server.

Unpacking SQL and PL/SQL Scripts

SQL and PL/SQL scripts, which will be used in a later installation step, are packaged with the Siebel Enterprise Server software. You need to unpack them to the Siebel Server and then move these scripts to the Oracle Applications Server in order to install them.

To unpack SQL and PL/SQL scripts

1. Start installing the Siebel Enterprise Server.

   See Siebel Server Installation Guide for directions.

2. When the Select Components dialog window appears, select Siebel EAI Connectors, and then click Next.

   The Siebel EAI Connectors selection unpacks SQL and PL/SQL scripts.

3. Select Typical install and click Next. Follow instructions on the remaining dialog box to unpack the scripts.

Verifying the Unpacking of SQL and PL/SQL Scripts

You may want to verify the unpacking of the SQL and PL/SQL scripts.

To verify

1. Open the directory where the Siebel Server is installed.
2. Open the eaiconn folder.
3. Open the ORACLE folder.

   The R10.7 Scripts and/or R11i Scripts folders are shown.

4. Open the folder 107SCRIPTS to examine Oracle Applications R10.7 scripts, or 11ISCRIPTS to examine Oracle Applications R11i scripts.
5. Scroll down the list, comparing it with the list of Oracle Scripts in Oracle Scripts.

Registering the ODBC Driver

The ODBC Driver for accessing the Oracle Applications database is packaged with the Siebel Enterprise Server software. You must register it with Microsoft Windows before it can be used by the connector to communicate with Oracle Applications. Use the Siebel Software Configuration Utility to perform this task.

To register the ODBC Driver

1. Start the Siebel Software Configuration Utility. The utility is automatically launched at the conclusion of the Siebel Server install. You may also start it manually by selecting Microsoft Windows Start Menu > Programs > Siebel Enterprise Server > Configure Siebel Server.
2. When the dialog box Configure EAI Connectors: Register External Oracle DB ODBC Driver appears, check Yes under the Register External Oracle DB ODBC Driver prompt.

NOTE:  If you are manually registering the ODBC driver, you must stop the Siebel Service before registering the driver and restart the service after registering the driver.

Verifying the Registration of the ODBC Driver

After the connector is installed, you should verify the ODBC driver installation.

To verify

1. Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator and select the Drivers tab.
2. Look for Siebel Oracle8x - Merant in the Name column on the left.

Installing the Siebel Web Client

Install the Siebel Web Client next if you plan to deploy Siebel Dedicated Web Client or Siebel Mobile Web Client. For directions, see Siebel Web Client Administration Guide.
