Installing the Siebel Gateway Name Server

Be sure that all machines on which the Siebel Gateway Name Server will be installed meet the hardware and software requirements detailed in System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb for this release.

The Siebel Enterprise Server installer verifies not only that you have the required software for installation of the Siebel version you are installing, but that the software is at the version level necessary.

NOTE:  The following procedure is for installing the base product. For patch installation instructions, refer to the Maintenance Release Guide provided with the patch. See also About Installing Siebel Releases.

To install the Siebel Gateway Name Server

1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Siebel image location for the current software version. Then navigate to the directory where the installer is located.

   In this case, navigate to Siebel_Image\Windows\Server\Siebel_Enterprise_Server.

   where:

   • Siebel_Image = The directory for your version-specific Siebel network image, such as D:\Siebel_Install_Image\7.8.2.0.
2. Double-click setup.exe.

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

3. Click Next.

   If you have installed other Siebel components of the same version on the same machine, the installer displays the message that an existing installation has been found, and you should proceed to Step 4. Otherwise, click Next and proceed to Step 5.

4. Depending on whether you want to install a new instance of Siebel software or add a new language to an existing instance, take the appropriate action:
   • To install the Siebel Enterprise Server software in a new instance, select None as the default and click Next. Proceed to Step 5.
   • To install a new language in an existing instance, select the displayed instance and click Next. Proceed to Step 8.

     For additional information about installing multiple Language Packs, see Siebel Server Installation Requirements.

     The Installer Path screen appears.

5. Select the directory in which you want to install Siebel Enterprise Server and click Next.

   By default, setup installs in the C:\sea7x directory. If desired, you may choose a different drive for installation by either clicking Browse or typing the drive and directory location that you recorded in Deployment Planning Worksheet.

   NOTE:  This directory name must not contain spaces, although underscores are allowed.

   The installer prompts you to select the product or products you want to install.

6. Choose the Siebel Gateway Name Server and click Next.

   Other Siebel Enterprise Server (SES) components can be installed later. Alternatively, if you choose to install additional components at the same time as the Siebel Gateway Name Server, it is not necessary to enter some of the same information, such as language choice, twice. In this case, the installation steps described in Installing the Siebel Server will not appear in the exact order as described.

   If you install more than one component at once, the Siebel Enterprise Server installer and the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard prompt you for the installation parameters of each component individually and in the sequence required.

   For more information about different ways of deploying Siebel Enterprise Server components, see the Deployment Planning Guide.

   NOTE:  Before proceeding, review the preinstallation requirements for each component you plan to install and perform any necessary preinstallation tasks. See Siebel Gateway Name Server Installation Requirements and other applicable sections.

7. Choose the type of installation to execute from the following options and click Next.

   NOTE:  For the Siebel Gateway Name Server, all three options install the same Siebel Gateway Name Server components.

   • Typical. Installs all Gateway components.
   • Compact. Installs only those components necessary to run the Siebel Gateway, but no additional components or help.
   • Custom. Lets you customize your installation by choosing the specific components you want to install.
8. Select the language or languages you want to install or add and click Next.

   Servers are installed, at a minimum, with the primary (base) language in which each server will run. This is the primary (base) language for your Enterprise Server. Optionally, you can install one or more additional languages.

   When installing languages at a later date, you must also reinstall any patch releases that were previously installed.

   NOTE:  Before you install Language Packs, see the information about code pages in Planning RDBMS Installation and Configuration, and see Siebel Gateway Name Server Installation Requirements.

   The installer program performs a validation check to make sure that installation prerequisites are met. If they are not, a prompt appears, stating which installation requirement is not met. Satisfy the requirements and restart the installation process.

   If you are installing your first language, the Program Folder screen appears. Otherwise, proceed to Step 10.

9. Click Next to accept the default folder name, or modify the folder name as desired and click Next.
10. The installer displays the location into which it will install the Siebel Gateway Name Server and any other servers you have elected to install, and also the disk space required for the software you are installing. Click Next to continue or Back to adjust the values.

    The installer proceeds to install the specified files.

    A message appears, stating that language files are being installed.

11. Select one of the following options to continue:
    • Continue with configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server. For detailed instructions, see Configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server.
    • Close out of the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard and configure later. In this case, the installer displays the following message; however, note that you cannot operate the Siebel Gateway Name Server until it is configured:

    The InstallShield Wizard has successfully installed the Siebel Enterprise Server. Click Finish to exit the Wizard.

12. To complete the installation process, click Finish.
