Requirements for Siebel Gateway Name Server Installation and Configuration

This topic is part of Requirements for Siebel Enterprise Server Installation and Configuration.

Review the information in this topic before installing and configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

• Install the Siebel Gateway Name Server once for each Siebel Enterprise Server. If needed, multiple Siebel Enterprises can be supported by a single Siebel Gateway Name Server. In general, installing multiple instances of the same version of Siebel Gateway Name Server on the same machine is not recommended.

  For more information, see Installing Multiple Instances of Siebel Business Applications. See also 477770.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support. This document was previously published as Siebel Technical Note 531.

• Siebel Gateway Name Server uses port 2320 by default. If necessary, you can select any port number (32767 or lower) that is free on the machine where the Siebel Gateway Name Server is running. Do not use port number 2321, which is the default port number for the SCBroker (Siebel Connection Broker) component, or any other port already in use on the server. To confirm that a port (such as 2320) is free, use a command like netstat -a | grep 2320.
