Launching the Siebel Configuration Wizard

This topic describes how to launch the Siebel Configuration Wizard.

For more information about this wizard and how it is used by various installable Siebel products, see About Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server and Related Components.

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

Any wizard that is not launched automatically can be run later. For example, the Database Configuration Wizard does not launch automatically. After installation, you must perform certain tasks before you manually launch this wizard.

The Configuration Wizard displays in its title bar the name Siebel Configuration Wizard, followed by an additional title that identifies what you are configuring. Which title and which screens display depends on what you are configuring. See also Configuration Wizards Associated with Installable Components and Configuration Wizards and Associated Model Files.

The Siebel Configuration Wizard automatically runs in the language you are currently using, 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.

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 Enterprise or the Siebel Server.

For instructions for configuring particular components, see:

• Performing Configuration Tasks
• Configuring Siebel Management Agent and Siebel Management Server
• Configuring the Siebel Database on the RDBMS
• Configuring the SWSE

CAUTION:  The Siebel Configuration Wizards support initial configuration of Siebel Business Applications and provide limited capability to reconfigure components that have already been configured. For example, you can use the wizard to modify Siebel Enterprise Server settings. However, to reconfigure an existing Siebel Server, you can remove an existing Siebel Server configuration and then re-create it. Alternatively, to modify existing Siebel Enterprise or Siebel Server settings, use Siebel Server Manager. For more information about the tasks each wizard supports, see Performing Configuration Tasks.

Use the Control Panel to change whether a Siebel service starts automatically or manually, or to change the user name or password under which the service runs.
