Installing the DB Server Components

When you choose Install a new Siebel Database from the Siebel Database Server Options menu of the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard, the utility performs the following tasks:

  • Creates Siebel tables and indexes in a specified tablespace.
  • Inserts Siebel seed data specific to your database.
  • Installs views, packages, and procedures for your database.
  • Sets system preferences.

NOTE:  Every time you install a new language, you must launch the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard and navigate to Siebel Database Server Options > Install > Add a language to an existing database. For a list of languages supported by Siebel eBusiness Applications in this release, and their corresponding Siebel language codes, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.

To install Siebel Database Server components

  1. Launch the Database Server Configuration Wizard, using any method described in Launching the Siebel Software Configuration Wizard.

    The Gateway Server Address screen appears.

  2. Type the following values as you recorded them in your copy of Deployment Planning Worksheet and click Next.

    Gateway Server Address. The domain name and alias of the host on which you installed the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

    Enterprise Server Name. The name you gave to your Siebel Enterprise Server, for example, siebel.

    The Siebel Server Directory screen appears.

  3. On the Siebel Server Directory screen, perform either of the following tasks and click Next:
    • Accept the default value displayed in the Siebel Server Directory field. (This is the SIEBSRVR_ROOT directory, for example, D:\sea7x\siebsrvr.)
    • Use the browse button to select an alternate directory path to a different Siebel Server on that machine.

      The Siebel Database Server Directory screen appears.

  4. On the Siebel Database Server Directory screen, perform either of the following tasks and click Next:
    • Accept the default path displayed in the Siebel Database Server Directory field. (This is the DBSRVR_ROOT directory, for example, D:\sea7x\dbsrvr.)
    • Use the Browse button to select an alternate directory.

      The RDBMS Platform screen appears.

  5. Select the appropriate RDBMS platform and click Next.
  6. (Oracle only) On the Database Version screen, select the appropriate Oracle version for your installation.

    The Siebel Database Operation screen appears.

  7. To install seed data, select Install Database and click Next.

    The Siebel User/Role Creation screen appears, prompting you to execute the grantusr.sql script to create tableowner and administration accounts, if you have not already done so.

  8. Indicate whether or not you have already run the grantusr.sql script to set up tableowner and administration accounts:

    NOTE:  These accounts must be in place or you will not be able to complete installation of your seed data, tables, and indexes.

    • If you already ran grantusr.sql, click the uppermost radio button, and then click Next. Proceed to Step 10.
    • If you did not already run grantusr.sql, click the lower radio button, and then click Next. The Configuration Wizard quits. Proceed to Step 9.
  9. Run the grantusr.sql script, as necessary, and then relaunch the Configuration Wizard. Go back to Step 1.
  10. On the Select Installation Operation screen, click Install Siebel Database, and then click Next.
  11. (Oracle and DB2 UDB for Windows and UNIX only) On the Database Encoding screen, identify the appropriate database encoding method:
    • UNICODE
    • Non-UNICODE

      CAUTION:  Choose the correct option for your database to prevent installation of the wrong data types. The database will not be able to create Unicode data types on a non-Unicode page setting, so check this setting carefully before choosing the option.

  12. On the Language Selection screen, choose the language in which you want to run your database, and then click Next. This is referred to as the primary (base) language for your database.

    NOTE:  If you only installed a primary (base) language and no additional languages, this screen does not appear.

    The ODBC Data Source Name screen appears.

  13. Indicate the name for the ODBC data source and then click Next. If you have selected DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390, indicate the Source Database DB2 SubSystem Name as well.

    NOTE:  The data source is created automatically by the Siebel Server installation, using the format SiebSrvr_enterprise_server_name. You should not change any of the default ODBC settings or parameters; otherwise, you will encounter problems using the ODBC. For example, setting the OptimizeLongPerformance parameter to enable corrupts all the scripts in the repository during import or export process.

  14. On the Database User Name screen, indicate the following about your database and click Next:

    Database User Name. Type the user name of the Siebel administrator; for example, sadmin.

    Database Password. Type the password for the Siebel administrator.

    Database Password (confirm). Retype the password to confirm it.

  15. On the Database Table Owner screen, indicate the following about your database, and then click Next:

    Database Table Owner. Type the name of the Siebel Database tableowner, or the account that will own the Siebel objects; for example, ora*** for Oracle and siebel for DB2 and MS SQL Server.

    Database Table Owner Password. Type the password for the Siebel Database tableowner.

    Database Password (confirm). Retype the password to confirm it.

  16. (DB2 only) On the Database Server OS screen, select the platform on which your database server runs, and click Next.

    1- Windows

    2- Solaris

    3- AIX

    4- HP-UX

    5- Linux

  17. (DB2 only) On the Index Tablespace Name screen, type the following parameters, and then click Next:

    Index Table Space Name. Type the name for your index table space; for example, DATA01.

    Table Space Name. Type the name for your table space; for example, DATA02.

  18. (DB2 only) Indicate the index space and 4-KB tablespace names, and click Next to continue:

    Index Tablespace Name. The name you give to your 4-KB index space; for example, SBL_INDX.

    4K Tablespace Name. The name you give to your 4-KB tablespace; for example, TBS_4K.

    NOTE:  Tablespace names should not contain spaces; use underscores, if needed.

  19. (DB2 only) On the 16K Table Space Name screen, indicate the following values, and click Next to continue:

    16K Tablespace Name. Type the name you give to your 16-KB tablespace; for example, TBS_16K.

    32K Tablespace Name. Type the name you give to your 32-KB tablespace; for example, TBS_32K.

  20. (Oracle only) In the Oracle Parallel Index screen, specify the appropriate environment for your installation:

    I have a single CPU environment
    I have a multiple CPU environment

    NOTE:  The single-CPU option above assumes that you are not running with parallel indexing on. The multiple-CPU option assumes that you are running with parallel indexing on. If you have a multiple-CPU environment but are not running with parallel indexing on, choose the single-CPU option.

  21. (Oracle only) On the Index Tablespace Name screen, type the following parameters, and then click Next:

    Index Table Space Name. Type the name for your index table space; for example, DATA01.

    Table Space Name. Type the name for your table space; for example, DATA02.

  22. (MS SQL Server only) Accept the default log directory (siebel) or enter a new directory name and click OK.

    The new directory will be created under the SIEBEL_ROOT\LogArchive directory.

  23. On the Configuration Parameter Review screen, review the configuration values you entered on the previous Configuration Wizard screens:
    • If you need to change any values, use the Previous and Next buttons to access the screens on which to change entries, and then to return to this screen.
    • When you have verified the configuration values, 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:\SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\bin\siebupg.exe /m master_install.ucf

    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. For details, see Upgrade Guide.

    The Siebel Upgrade Wizard screen appears, displaying the items to be executed or imported.

  24. To begin, click OK.

    If you need to change the values you previously entered, relaunch the Configuration Wizard. Relaunching the wizard allows you to reconfigure with different values.

    The Siebel Upgrade Wizard Complete screen appears when installation is complete. You have now finished installing the database server components.
