Installing and Configuring in Console Mode

This topic provides instructions for installing and configuring Siebel products in console mode.

Several configuration scenarios are possible with console mode installation. In general, this topic assumes you will disable launching GUI configuration, and will launch GUI or console configuration manually after installation.

Before you begin setting up console mode installation for a Siebel Business Applications product, you must determine your requirements for installation and configuration. Review About Unattended or Console Mode Installation and Configuration. For example, the information presented in Table 19 may help you determine your overall process.

NOTE:  Prompts for console mode installation or configuration are identical to those of the Java-based GUI, described in Installing Siebel Enterprise Server and Related Components and other chapters. However, because console-mode installation and configuration does not provide GUI controls, such as a Browse button, you must substitute appropriate command-line responses instead of GUI-based responses such as Click Next.

Process of Installing and Configuring in Console Mode

Console-mode installation and configuration requires multiple tasks that you perform in the following sequence:

1. Editing siebel.ini Files for Console Mode Installation.
2. Running Console Installation from the Command Line.
3. If unattended configuration is not configured in the siebel.ini file, the process also includes launching the Configuration Wizard manually. See Launching the Siebel Configuration Wizard.
