Console Mode Installation and Configuration

Installing the Siebel Server and related server products over a WAN can use large amounts of bandwidth resulting in undesirable lag times in installation. The Siebel console installation provides a text-only installation that lets you bypass the Java-based GUI for faster performance.

The prompts for the console mode of installation are identical to those of the Java-based GUI. However, because the console mode of installation does not provide GUI controls, such as a Browse button, you must substitute appropriate command-line responses instead of the displayed GUI responses, such as Click Next.
