Installing the Database Server Software Under Windows

Complete the following steps to install the Siebel Database Server software under Windows. You must have already created a Siebel 7.8 installation image on your network and have installed the Gateway Name Server and a Siebel Server on your computer. For further information on all of these tasks, see the Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools.

To install the Database Server software under Windows

1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Siebel image location for the current software version. Then navigate to the directory in which the Siebel Enterprise Server 7.8 software is located and double-click setup.exe.

   The Welcome to InstallShield Wizard for Siebel Enterprise Server screen appears.

2. Verify that no other programs are running, and then click Next to continue with the setup program.
3. When a screen displaying license information appears, accept the license terms, and then click Next to continue.
4. Continue the installation process, according to the prompts you receive:
   • If this is the first time you are installing the Siebel Enterprise Server software, you are prompted to select the directory into which you want to install the server. Proceed to Step 5.
   • If this is not the first time you are installing the Siebel Enterprise Server software, setup detects an existing version of this software on your system and allows you to either:
     • Install a new instance of the server software by selecting the None.Install a new instance option, and then clicking Next. Proceed to Step 5.
     • Install a new language pack to an existing installation instance, by selecting the instance, and then clicking Next. Proceed to Step 9.
5. Specify where you want to install the Siebel Database Server software.
   • To install the Siebel Database Server software into the default directory, C:\sea78, click Next.
   • To install the Siebel Database Server software into another directory, use Browse to select the directory you recorded in Deployment Planning Worksheet.

     The directory name must not contain spaces, apostrophes, hyphens, or other special characters. Underscores, however, are allowed.

     NOTE:  You must install the Siebel Database Server in the directory in which you installed the Siebel Server.

6. You are prompted to select the type of server you want to install. Select the Database Server option, and then click Next.

   CAUTION:  If you choose to install and configure all the components for which your company has a license at once, you cannot later uninstall any of them individually. You must uninstall them as a group.

   If you install all licensed components at once, the Siebel Enterprise Server Installer and the Siebel Software Configuration utility prompt you for the installation parameters of each component individually and in the sequence required except in the case of the Database Server. You must activate the Database Server Configuration utility manually to configure the software.

7. Choose the type of Siebel Database Server installation you want to perform from the following options and click Next.
   • Typical. Select this option to install all Siebel Database Server components. Proceed to Step 9.
   • Compact. There is no compact installation option for this server.
   • Custom. Select this option to select the specific components you want to install. Proceed to Step 8.
8. Choose the database platform components you want to install from the Select Components screen. The following table shows the components available for you to install.

In this case, select the IBM DB2 for z/OS option and the Sample Database support option, and then click Next.

CAUTION:  If you select a Custom installation, ensure you select the Sample Database support option the first time you install the software. You copy these sample file attachments to the Siebel File System directory after configuration.

9. Choose the Language Pack or Packs you want to install from the list displayed, and click Next.

   Only language packs in the Siebel Enterprise Server directory are listed as install options. All servers are installed, at a minimum, with the primary (or base) language in which the server runs. Optionally, you can install one or more additional languages.

   When you install languages at a later date, you must also reinstall any patches that have been run on the directory.

   NOTE:  In a Unicode-enabled database environment, you can install any of the available Siebel language packs. In a non-Unicode database environment, you must consider the correlation of the language packs you want to install and the characters supported by your database code page. For example, in a Western European code page database, you can only install Western European language packs such as English, French, Spanish, or German. In a Japanese code page database, you can only install Japanese or English language packs.

   For a list of supported code pages and encoding strategies, see the System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.

10. The installer now prompts you that it will add program shortcuts to the Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 7.8 Program Folder.

    Click Next to continue or, to add the program shortcuts to a different program folder, first enter the name in the Program Folder field.

11. You are now prompted to verify the components you have chosen to install and their location. Either click Next to continue or Previous to amend your selections.
12. The language pack and Siebel Database Server software is now installed.
    • If the installation is not successful, the Event Log appears, displaying the status of your installation. This log can also be accessed under sea78\error.log.
    • When the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen indicates that software installation is completed successfully, click Finish.
