Installing Siebel Exchange Connector

Siebel Exchange Connector software acts as the liaison between PIMSI Engine and the Microsoft Exchange Server. This topic describes how to install Exchange Connector software.

This task is a step in Process of Installing SSSE in a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Environment, Process of Installing SSSE in a Microsoft Exchange 2003 Environment, and Process of Installing SSSE in a Microsoft Exchange 2007 Environment.

Exchange Connector software can run on the same computer as PIMSI Engine, or it can run on a separate computer that is equipped with the sspicnea.exe executable file and certain SSSE DLLs. Any Exchange Connectors that reside on computers that do not contain PIMSI Engines are known as remote Exchange connectors.

When you install PIMSI Engine, Exchange Connector software is automatically installed on the same computer. Whether or not you use the Exchange Connector software on a PIMSI Engine computer depends on later configuration steps.

There is no stand-alone installation available for remote Exchange Connectors. The following procedure describes how to install a remote Exchange Connector.

CAUTION:  Never install Microsoft Outlook on a computer that will run the Siebel Exchange Connector application, as Microsoft Outlook overwrites a critical Exchange library with a less functional version.

To install a remote Exchange Connector

• On a computer that does not contain PIMSI Engine software, follow the installation instructions found in Installing Siebel Server for PIMSI Engine.

  NOTE:  For remote Exchange Connector computers, do not enable or run the Siebel Server or PIMSI Engine or PIMSI Dispatcher software that is installed along with the Exchange Connector. Configuration values for the Server, Engine, and Dispatcher can be arbitrary, since the remote Exchange Connector computer will not use them.

For information about configuring Exchange Connectors on PIMSI Engine computers and remote Exchange Connectors, see Configuring Siebel Server Sync.
