Installing Oracle Secure Enterprise Search


This topic covers Oracle Secure Enterprise Search installation and additional installation steps required for Siebel Search. Capture the Search and Administration URLs from the Oracle Secure Enterprise Search install wizard during the Oracle Secure Enterprise Search installation process, as these will be required for post-installation verification. The Administration Password will also be required when configuring the Search Engine Settings in the Siebel Search administration view. The examples in this guide use Siebel1 as the Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Administration Password. Make sure that the file RSS_Crawler_Configuration.xml is accessible to the Oracle Secure Enterprise Search engine and that the file <application_suite>_OSES_Field-Mappings.xml is accessible to the Siebel Server.
