Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools > Installing the Siebel Web Server Extension > Siebel Web Server Extension Installation RequirementsBefore installing the Siebel Web Server Extension, you should have already installed the following components:
Before beginning the installation process, decide how you will distribute the server components.
Recommended Siebel Web Server TopologyEach deployment choice involves trade-off. However, in enterprise-size deployments, it is strongly recommended that you use a distributed node deployment for the following reasons:
Verifying the Siebel Gateway Name Server and Enterprise ServerYou must have installed and configured the Siebel Gateway Name Server and an Enterprise Server containing at least one Siebel Server before installing the Siebel Web Server Extension. Complete the steps in Installing the Siebel Server to install and configure the Enterprise Server entities, following the configuration chosen in the previous step. If you are installing Application Object Managers and Web components of Siebel eBusiness Applications on the same machine, use separate installation directories to avoid file permission problems at installation time. Verifying Web Server RequirementsMake sure that the server that will support the Web Server Extension meets all the hardware and software platform requirements documented in System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb. The HTTP process that hosts SWSE can communicate with multiple application servers. Siebel Systems does not recommend or support the installation of multiple SWSEs on a single Web Server in a production environment. If you want to install multiple SWSEs on a Web Server for development or testing purposes, see Technical Note 456 on Siebel SupportWeb. You should be aware of the port number for the Web server, because you will need to modify the httpd.conf file to reflect the correct port number. For more information, see Editing the httpd.conf File on IHS and HP-Apache2. Web Server Language Pack RequirementsYou can deploy multiple Language Packs on one Web server and one Siebel Web Server Extension instance. The Siebel Server and the Web server do not need to be operated in the same language. However, your Siebel Server, your Web server, and all other server components must use the same character set. For more information, see Global Deployment Guide. Domain Name RequirementFor Solaris or Sun ONE Web Server installations, add the domain name to either /etc/hosts or resolve.conf. |
