Defining Instance IDs

This procedure describes how to define instance IDs for the instances that will share data with this instance.

NOTE:  After defining all the instance IDs, the HQ instance ID will be picked from the instance IDs you have defined. For more information, see To define the HQ Instance ID for Siebel.

To define instance IDs

1. Obtain instance IDs from administrators of other Siebel instances in the deployment.
