Running the Generate New Database Server Component

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Siebel Server. It includes the following topics:

• Creating a New Database for Siebel Remote
• Distributing Database Templates to Siebel Servers
• Changing the Password of the Local Database Administrator
• Using a Character Data Type with an Extension Column
• Configuring the Collating Sequence
• Encrypting the Local Database

A database template is a database that contains no user data but that does contain the structure that Siebel Remote requires for use with a Siebel application. To create a new database template, you run the Generate New Database server component. If a change is made to the server database schema, then you must create a new database template. The following items are examples of these changes:

• Immediately after you install the Database Configuration Utilities
• Immediately after you upgrade to a new version of a Siebel application
• If you use Oracle's Siebel Tools to extend the server database schema, except if you use Oracle's Siebel Anywhere to deliver a database schema upgrade kit. An extension can include extension tables, extension columns, or extension indexes. For more information, see Using a Character Data Type with an Extension Column.
• If you must use a collating sequence other than the default sequence. For more information, see Configuring the Collating Sequence.

Dbinit Is No Longer Supported

Some earlier versions of Siebel Remote supported the creation of a new empty database file through the use of a utility named Dbinit, which was designed for use with a SQL Anywhere database. Oracle no longer supports this utility. You must still create a new database template before you can extract a database. Siebel Remote uses these files to create a new database template. They are not a substitute for a database template.
