Instances

A given enterprise could have multiple Siebel installations, each being unique versions running on its own database and application servers. In order for global data to be shared among these instances, the instances need to have a unique identifier.

Each instance is uniquely identified using an instance ID. The instance IDs are defined using a screen for defining instances from the Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications administration screens.

The instance IDs must be:

• Unique within a network of Siebel instances
• Consists of two segments:
  • Major segment—CSN or DUNS number
  • Minor segment—Customer specific
• Set by the customer using the Instance Identification view

  Example of an Instance ID: 808856512-Siebel US
