Requirements for Installing Siebel Management Agent and Siebel Management Server
This topic is part of Installing Siebel Management Agent and Siebel Management Server. This topic describes requirements and prerequisite tasks for installing Siebel Management Agent or Siebel Management Server.
- Using Siebel Image Creator, create a Siebel installation image on your network that includes the files required to install Siebel Management Agent and Siebel Management Server for all applicable platforms.
- Siebel Management Agent can be installed on either Microsoft Windows or supported UNIX platforms.
- Siebel Management Server can only be installed on Microsoft Windows.
NOTE: It is recommended to include Siebel Management Agent for each applicable platform in your installation image, even if you intend to install Management Agent with Siebel Server rather than install it separately.
For more information about using Image Creator, see Creating the Siebel Installation Image on the Network.
- Machines that host Siebel Management Agent or Management Server must have the correct version of JRE or J2SE installed. For details, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.
- If you will be using Perl scripts as part of the configuration process described in Using Perl Scripts to Register Additional Siebel Management Agents and Configure Siebel ADM, then the machines that host Siebel Management Agent or Management Server must have a recent version of Perl installed. The Perl installation directory must be correctly referenced in the
PATH environment variable.
- If you intend to use Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) with Siebel Management Agent or Management Server, you must review all applicable information before you install and configure the software. For details, see Siebel Security Guide.
NOTE: If you are not yet ready to configure SSL, it is strongly recommended to postpone installation or configuration of Management Agent and Management Server until you are fully ready to configure SSL for these components.
- Determine your installation and configuration strategy for your Siebel Servers, Siebel Management Agents, and Siebel Management Server. Review the remaining points in this topic.
- Siebel Management Agent can be installed on Siebel Server machines on all supported Windows and UNIX operating systems.
- For a typical Siebel Server install type, Siebel Management Agent is installed with Siebel Server automatically. In this scenario, the Configuration Wizard for Management Agent launches after you install and configure the Siebel Server. For Siebel Server installation instructions, see Installing Siebel Enterprise Server Components.
- For a custom Siebel Server install type, you can include Siebel Management Agent or deselect it to exclude it from the installation. If you exclude Siebel Management Agent but require it, you must install it separately. In this scenario, the Management Agent Configuration Wizard launches after you install Management Agent separately. For separate Management Agent installation instructions, see Installing Siebel Management Agent.
- Uninstallation options for Siebel Management Agent are different for each of the above approaches. See also Uninstalling Siebel Business Applications.
- If you install Management Agent as part of Siebel Server installation, you cannot uninstall it separately. Uninstalling Siebel Server uninstalls this instance of Management Agent.
- If you install Management Agent separately onto a Siebel Server machine, then you can uninstall it independently of Siebel Server.
- Siebel Management Server can only be installed on Microsoft Windows.
One instance of Siebel Management Server can support one or more Siebel Enterprises.
The Management Server Configuration Wizard launches after you install Management Server. For installation instructions, see Installing Siebel Management Server.
- Before you install and configure Siebel Management Server, you must install and configure at least one instance of Siebel Management Agent. Ideally, you will have installed all your Siebel Servers and Management Agents. The Management Server Configuration Wizard can register one or two Management Agents with the Management Server. You can register additional Management Agents by using Perl scripts provided with the software.
- For Siebel Management Agent and Management Server configuration tasks, see:
- Using Siebel Diagnostic Tool requires that you license Oracle Application Management Pack for Siebel. For more information about this management pack, see the Enterprise Manager Licensing Guide in the documentation library for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 3 (10.2.0.3). You can access this library on the Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technology.
