Configuring a Queue Manager on the Computer Hosting Siebel Server

A queue manager is a self-contained process and requires a dedicated TCP/IP port to listen for connections from the Siebel Server and the Siebel Handheld client applications.

To configure a queue manager on the computer hosting Siebel Server

1. Install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.3.1 or higher if the computer does not have one.
2. Update the Windows system path to contain the directory of java.exe and the directory of jvm.dll. Usually these are subdirectories of the Java home directory bin, bin\client and bin\server.
3. Open a command window and navigate to the bin directory of the Siebel Server installation.
4. Use the SET command to verify the SIEBEL_HOME environment variable is set correctly.
5. Run the batch file setupqm.bat and follow the on-screen prompts.

   The default values for queue manager name, directory, and port should be applicable for most installations. Check with your IT system administrator to make sure that the default listener port 8082 is available to use. Alternatively, you can specify a different port number.

6. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks.
7. Right-click the Scheduled Task for the queue manager that you just created and choose Run.

   Verify the task's status has changed to Running in the Scheduled Tasks folder window.
