Process of Installing the Siebel Database Server

Installing the Siebel Database Server and configuring the Siebel Database on the RDBMS requires multiple tasks that you should perform in the following sequence:

1. Fill out your copy of the worksheet in Deployment Planning Worksheet with all RDBMS-specific information.
2. Create and configure the database instance. See Configuring the RDBMS.

   CAUTION:  In an upgrade environment, you do not perform any of the tasks mentioned in the above chapter. In particular, you do not create the database instance on the RDBMS. However, after the upgrade is complete, you may need to modify database parameters for your RDBMS platform to match settings described in this chapter. For more information, see About Installing in Upgrade Environments.

3. Perform preinstallation tasks. See Preinstallation Tasks for the Siebel Database Server.
4. Install the Siebel Database Server software on the Siebel Server. See Installing the Siebel Database Server on the Siebel Server.

   CAUTION:  In an upgrade environment, you install the Siebel Database Server on the Siebel Server, following the procedure in the above topic, but you do not perform any of the other tasks mentioned in this chapter. For more information, see About Installing in Upgrade Environments.

5. Review the Siebel Database Server installation. See Reviewing the Installation for the Siebel Database Server.
6. If required for your multilingual deployment, reset the Global Time Zone parameter. See Setting Up Your Environment to Support Global Time Zone.
7. Create the table owner and administrator accounts. See Creating Table Owner and Administrator Accounts.
8. (DB2 UDB only) Install stored procedures and user-defined functions on the RDBMS. See Installing the Stored Procedures and User-Defined Functions on DB2 UDB.
9. Run the Database Server Configuration Wizard to configure the Siebel Database on the RDBMS, and perform related tasks. See Configuring the Siebel Database on the RDBMS.
   1. Install tables, indexes, and seed data in the Siebel Database. See Installing the Siebel Database Components.
   2. Review the database installation log for errors. See Reviewing the Log Files for Siebel Database Installation.
   3. Import the Siebel Repository into the Siebel Database. See Importing the Siebel Repository for the Siebel Database.
   4. Review the repository import log files for errors. See Reviewing the Log Files for Repository Import for the Siebel Database.
10. Perform postinstallation tasks. See Postinstallation Tasks for the Siebel Database Server and Siebel Database.
    1. Review the system preference settings for Enterprise Database Server code page. See Verifying System Preferences and Other Settings for Database Code Page.
    2. If you are deploying multiple languages:
       • Install multilingual seed data. See the information about adding a language to an existing Siebel Database in Installing the Siebel Database Components.
       • Import multilingual seed data to your repository tables. See the information about adding a language to an existing repository in Importing the Siebel Repository for the Siebel Database.
    3. Populate the Siebel File System. See Populating the Siebel File System.
