Installing Multilingual Seed Data

If your organization deploys internationally and, therefore, requires data to be in multiple languages, you must install multilingual seed data (for example, lists of views, responsibilities, or system preferences). To do this, you add new language packs to your database after you have installed the base language for your database server. This populates the List of Values (LOV) with seed data in the new language.

Only after you successfully install seed data in your base language, can you add seed data in other languages to your database. Adding this seed data also adds new LOV data in the new language.

CAUTION:  You cannot add secondary languages to the Siebel database for an Enterprise Server unless you have already installed them on the associated Siebel Server.

To install multilingual seed data under Windows

  1. Follow the instructions under Siebel Database Server Software Installation, using the DVD for the new language that you want to install.
  2. In the Existing Installations Found screen, select the installation to which you want to add the language.
  3. When installation is complete, launch the Database Server configuration wizard.
  4. When the Select Installation Operation screen appears (Step 7), select Add a language to an existing Siebel Database, and then click Next.

    NOTE:  To add seed data in a new language to your database, you must have already imported your repository in its base language.

    The Base Language screen appears and displays the languages you have installed for your Siebel Database.

  5. In the Base Language screen, specify which of the languages you installed is the one in which you want to primarily run your database. (This is known as your base language.)

    To continue, click Next.

    NOTE:  The Language Selection screen appears only if you have installed the files for multiple Siebel Language Packs. Installation of multiple Language Packs can occur either during your initial installation of Siebel 7 or at a later time.

  6. In the Language Selection screen, specify the new language you are adding for this database.

    To continue, click Next.

    The ODBC Data Source Name screen appears.

  7. Respond to the remaining prompts as you did when you originally completed the procedure, Installing the Siebel Schema, until the Repository Name screen appears.
  8. Type the name of your Siebel Repository or accept the displayed default name.

    To continue, click Next.

  9. In the Configuration Parameter Review screen, review the configuration values you entered on the previous configuration screens:
    • To go back and make changes, click Previous to back out until you reach the screen with the parameter you need to change.
    • To accept the values you input with no changes, click Finish.

      A message box appears with the prompt:

    To apply the configuration now, press "OK".

    To apply the configuration later, press "Cancel".

    The command line to apply the configuration later is
    C:\sea7xx\siebsrvr\bin\siebupg.exe /m master_install_lang.ucf

    NOTE:  The last line in the prompt is generated dynamically based on the location of your Siebel Server installation.

    If a program or system error occurs and you need to rerun the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, you can do so, starting at the point at which the wizard failed, by navigating to \siebsrvr\bin and entering:

    siebupg.exe /m master_install_lang.ucf

    The Database Server configuration wizard displays the items to be executed or imported.

  10. To begin, click OK.

    A window appears, displaying information about installation activities. Afterwards, a message appears when the installation is complete.

    To verify that the installation was successful, review the log files. See Reviewing the Log Files for Repository Import.

    TIP:   Locate the file master_install_lang.ucf in the binary subdirectory of your Siebel Server installation directory and print it out, so that you have a record of the values you entered.

  11. When you have finished configuration using the Database Server configuration wizard, you must enable the multilingual list of values (MLOV) capability within Siebel eBusiness Applications. For information on how to do this, see Global Deployment Guide.
  12. After you enable MLOV capability as described in Global Deployment Guide, proceed to Importing a New Language to Your Repository.

To install multilingual seed data under UNIX

  1. Follow the UNIX instructions under Siebel Database Server Software Installation, using the DVD for the new language that you want to install.
  2. Follow the instructions for UNIX under Performing a Standard Installation and when prompted for the installation operation (Step 9), enter 2 to Add New Language to an Existing Database.
  3. At the Language Selection prompt, specify which of the displayed languages you are adding on top of your base language for this database.
  4. At the Base Language prompt, specify which language you want as your base language.
  5. Respond to the remaining prompts as you did when you originally completed the procedure for Installing the Siebel Schema whether you chose standard or custom installation.
  6. When you are prompted for the repository name, accept the default (Siebel Repository) or enter another name.
  7. Review the values for accuracy.
    • If the values are correct, launch the Siebel Upgrade Wizard (srvrupgwiz) by entering Y.

      NOTE:  If a program or system error occurs and you need to rerun the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, you can do so, starting at the point at which the wizard failed, by navigating to $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin and entering:

      srvrupgwiz /m master_install_lang.ucf

    • To change the values you previously entered, rerun the Configuration Wizard by entering dbsrvr_config.ksh. This allows you to reconfigure with different values.

      The Database Server configuration wizard displays the items to be executed or imported.

  8. To begin, click OK.

    A message appears when the installation is complete.

    To verify that the installation was successful, review the log files. See Reviewing the Log Files for Repository Import.

    TIP:   Locate the file master_install_lang.ucf in the binary subdirectory of your Siebel Server installation directory and print it out, so that you have a record of the values you entered.

  9. When you have finished configuration using the Configuration Wizard, you must enable the multilingual list of values (MLOV) capability within Siebel eBusiness Applications. For information on how to do this, see Global Deployment Guide.
  10. After you enable MLOV capability as described in Global Deployment Guide, proceed to Importing a New Language to Your Repository.

Importing a New Language to Your Repository

After you successfully import your Siebel Repository in its base language, you can add additional languages to it.

By adding a new language to your repository, you populate rows of localizable information, which allows Siebel eBusiness Applications to better operate in the new language.

Regardless of how many Siebel eBusiness Applications you are using (such as Siebel Sales, Siebel Service, Siebel Marketing), you perform this step only once for each language you want to install.

CAUTION:  If you subsequently add a new language (after you complete your initial installation with your initial set of languages), in the Database Server configuration wizard, leave the Gateway Name Server Address and Enterprise Server Name fields blank.

To import a repository in a secondary language under Windows

  1. After installing multilingual seed data (Installing Multilingual Seed Data) launch the Database Server configuration wizard.
  2. Follow the steps in Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository to Step 7 (Select Repository Operation) and select:

    Add Language to an Existing Repository

    To continue, click Next.

  3. In the Language Selection screen, specify the new repository language you are adding.

    To continue, click Next.

  4. Follow the remaining procedures in Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository up to Step 12.
  5. In the Repository Name screen, indicate the following:
    • Import Repository Name. Type the designated name for this Siebel Repository or accept the default.
    • Localized Repository Name. If you are importing a secondary language repository on top of your base-language repository, this field appears in place of the Repository File Name field. Accept the default installation path and file name for this repository or type another valid installation path.

      To continue, click Next.

  6. In the Configuration Parameter Review screen, review the configuration values you entered on the previous configuration screens:
    • To go back and make changes, click Previous to back out until you reach the screen with the parameter you need to change.
    • To accept the values you input with no changes, click Finish.

      A message box appears with the prompt:

    To apply the configuration now, press "OK".

    To apply the configuration later, press "Cancel".

    The command line to apply the configuration later is
    C:\sea7x\siebsrvr\bin\siebupg.exe /m master_imprep_lang.ucf

    NOTE:  The last line in the prompt is generated dynamically based on the location of your Siebel Server installation.

    If a program or system error occurs and you need to rerun the Siebel Upgrade Wizard, you can do so, starting at the point at which the wizard failed, by navigating to \siebsrvr\bin and entering:

    siebupg.exe /m master_imprep_lang.ucf.

    The Database Server configuration wizard displays the items to be executed or imported.

  7. To begin, click OK.

To import a repository in a secondary language under UNIX

  1. Perform the steps described within the UNIX section of Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository up to the prompt for Repository Operations.
  2. At the Repository Operations prompt, enter 2 for Add language to an existing Repository.
  3. At the Choose Language prompt, enter the number corresponding to the secondary language you are adding.

    NOTE:  Siebel Systems does not support installation of any language other than U.S. English on top of a base Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Korean Language Pack.

  4. Answer the remaining prompts with the values that you previously entered when you completed Importing and Exporting the Siebel Repository for your base language until prompted for the Import Repository Name.
  5. At the Import Repository Name prompt, accept the default name of the new repository or specify a new name.
  6. Enter the name of your repository file name or accept the default, mstrep.dat.

    The utility displays the values entered so far and prompts you as to whether you want to run the Upgrade Wizard.

    • If the values are correct, launch the Wizard (srvrupgwiz) by entering Y.
    • To change the values you previously entered, rerun the Configuration Wizard by entering dbsrvr_config.ksh. This allows you to reconfigure with different values.
