About Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector

The Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector (SDDC) is a command-line utility that resides in the binary subdirectory of the Siebel Server, Siebel Gateway Name Server, and Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) root directory as the executable siebsnap.exe under Microsoft Windows or as binaries under UNIX. When run, the Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector (SDDC) utility collects information individually for Siebel Servers, the Siebel Gateway Name Server, and the Siebel Web Server Extension.The utility stores the collected data in output files. These files are available for immediate review, or can be sent to Siebel Technical Support if required. For information on running the SDDC, see:
