Launching the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard

This section describes how to launch the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard.

After you install the Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Server, or Siebel Web Server Extension, the wizard starts automatically. If you exited the wizard after installation, you can relaunch it, as described in this section.

After you install the Siebel Database Server, however, the wizard does not launch automatically. You run certain scripts manually after installation, then manually launch this wizard after running the scripts.

This wizard displays in its title bar the name Siebel Software Configuration Utility, followed by text that identifies what you are configuring, such as Siebel Server Configuration, Siebel Gateway Configuration, DB Server Configuration, or Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration. Which screens display depends on what you are configuring.

Additional wizards also run the same underlying executable program, such as for configuring LDAP/ADSI security adapters, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and so on.

NOTE:  This book generally refers to the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard for configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Server, or Siebel Web Server Extension. It refers to the Database Server Configuration Wizard for configuring the Siebel Database Server, and the SWSE Configuration Wizard for configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension. In some cases, however, Siebel Software Configuration Wizard refers to any or all of these configuration contexts.

For instructions for configuring particular components, see:

NOTE:  You cannot operate any Siebel Enterprise Server components until you have configured them. Also, you must be running the Siebel Gateway Name Server in order to configure the Siebel Server.

The Siebel Software Configuration Wizard automatically runs in your primary (base) language, so make sure you have the correct language set at the operating system level. For more information, see The Language in Which Siebel Installers and Wizards Run.

CAUTION:  The Siebel Software Configuration Wizard is intended to support initial configuration of a Siebel Enterprise Server module. You cannot rerun this wizard to reconfigure a Siebel Gateway Name Server or Siebel Server that has already been configured. You can, however, run the wizard to configure a new instance of the Siebel Server. You can rerun the wizard at any time for Siebel Database Server or Siebel Web Server Extension. You can use the Control Panel to change whether a Siebel service starts automatically or manually, or to change the user name and/or password under which the service runs. Otherwise, to reconfigure a Siebel Gateway Name Server or Siebel Server, you must uninstall and reinstall it, after which you can configure it using the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard.

To launch the wizard from the Windows desktop

  • Navigate to Start > Programs > Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 7.x > Config_Type.

    where:

    • Config_Type = The type of configuration you want to perform, such as:
      • Gateway Name Server configuration
      • Siebel Server configuration
      • Database Server configuration
      • Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration

To launch the wizard from a DOS command

  1. Open a DOS command window and navigate to the BIN subdirectory of the component you want to configure within your SIEBEL_ROOT directory.
    • For Siebel Gateway Name Server, navigate to a directory like D:\sea78\gtwysrvr\BIN.
    • For Siebel Server or Siebel Database Server, navigate to a directory like D:\sea78\siebsrvr\BIN.
    • For Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), navigate to a directory like D:\sea78\SWEApp\BIN.
  2. Enter a command similar to what is displayed for the module in the Properties window for the Start menu shortcut. For example:
    • For Siebel Gateway Name Server:

    ssincfgw.exe -l LANGUAGE -f "SIEBEL_ROOT\gtwysrvr\admin\gateway.scm" -r "SIEBEL_ROOT\gtwysrvr" /LogEvents all

    • For Siebel Server:

    ssincfgw.exe -l LANGUAGE -f "SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\admin\siebsrvr.scm" -r "SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr" /LogEvents all /LogDir "SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\ADMIN\INSTALL"

    • For Siebel Database Server:

    ssincfgw.exe -l LANGUAGE -f "SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\admin\dbsrvr.scm" -r "SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr" /LogEvents all

    • For Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE):

    ssincfgw.exe -l LANGUAGE -f "SWSE_ROOT\admin\swseapps.scm" -r "SWSE_ROOT"

    where:

    • LANGUAGE = The language in which you want to run the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard; for example, ENU for U.S. English or DEU for German.
    • SIEBEL_ROOT = The root directory for the Siebel Gateway Name Server or Siebel Enterprise Server installation.
    • SWSE_ROOT = The root directory for the SWSE installation.

      NOTE:  All component Configuration Wizard model files specified with the -f flag have an .scm extension. For example, for Gateway Name Server, the model file is gateway.scm.
