Deploying Language Packs Shipped After Initial Rollout


The following procedure is intended for users deploying languages shipped in a Siebel Business Applications release 7.8.x subsequent to the release installed by the customer. You can either:

  • Add new languages to your existing physical resource allocation. For example, you might install a new Siebel Server with a language you did not previously install elsewhere.
  • Add new physical resources as part of expanding language support. For example, you might install a new language on an existing Siebel Server.

NOTE:  For more information about these scenarios, see the Maintenance Release Guide for version 7.8.x, which is available on Siebel SupportWeb.

To add new Language Packs to your existing physical resource allocation

  1. Complete the task Deploying Language Packs Only Once.
  2. Run the srvrcfg command to import the Application Object Manager (AOM) definitions file from the newly installed Siebel Language Packs on the servers where they will be deployed. This step creates language-specific AOM components for the languages you added.

    CAUTION:  Before you run the srvrcfg command, you must stop the Siebel Server. However, the Siebel Gateway Name Server must be running.

    • Windows: Enter the following command at a DOS prompt from within the SIEBSRVR_ROOT\bin directory of your Siebel Servers:

    srvrcfg /g SiebelGatewayNameServer /e SiebelEnterprise /a components /i SIEBSRVR_ROOT\bin\LANG\omdefs_file /c ALL

    • UNIX: Enter the following Korn or Bourne shell command from within the SIEBSRVR_ROOT/bin directory of your Siebel Servers:

    ./srvrcfg -g SiebelGatewayNameServer -e SiebelEnterprise -a components -i SIEBSRVR_ROOT/bin/LANG/omdefs_file -c ALL

    where:

    SiebelGatewayNameServer = The alias of your Siebel Gateway Name Server

    SiebelEnterprise = The alias of your Siebel Enterprise Server

    SIEBSRVR_ROOT = Your Siebel Business Applications installation directory

    LANG = The three-letter code for the language you are implementing

    omdefs_file = The file from which you are importing Object Manager definitions:

    • For Siebel Business Applications, use omdefs.dat
    • For Siebel Industry Applications, use omdefs_sia.dat
  3. Disable any language-specific AOMs that you do not intend to use on specific servers.

For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

To add new physical resources as part of expanding language support

  1. Complete the task Deploying Language Packs Only Once while installing new languages on new physical resources.
  2. Create new language-specific AOMs as part of configuring each new server.
  3. Disable any language-specific AOMs that you do not intend to use on specific servers.

For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
