Creating the SWSE Logical Profile


This procedure describes the steps for creating an SWSE logical profile. The same steps apply whether you are creating the first SWSE logical profile, re-creating the same profile with different settings, or creating any additional profile.

This task is part of Configuring the SWSE. Refer to that topic for important background information for this task.

To create the SWSE logical profile

  1. If you exited the Siebel Configuration Wizard after Siebel Enterprise Server installation, relaunch it, using any method described in Launching the Siebel Configuration Wizard.
  2. Specify whether to configure in live mode or offline mode, and click Next.

    Configuring in offline mode saves your configuration into an XML file to be applied later. This mode performs limited validation of your selections. For more information, see About Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server and Related Components.

  3. Choose Create New Configuration, and click Next.
  4. Choose the task Configure a New Siebel Web Server Extension Logical Profile, and click Next.
  5. Provide input as described in the subtopic below. Click Next to move to the next screen until configuration is complete.

Parameters for Creating the SWSE Logical Profile

Table 14 lists the parameters requested in the Siebel Configuration Wizard for creating the SWSE logical profile. The wizard displays help text with more information about these settings.

For additional information about these parameters and other parameters in the eapps.cfg file, see:

  • Siebel Security Guide
  • Siebel System Administration Guide

See also the topics in Postinstallation Tasks for the SWSE and the Web Server.
