Siebel Server System Service

---

The Siebel Server runs as a system service that monitors and controls the state of every Siebel Server component operating on that Siebel Server. Each Siebel Server is an instantiation of the Siebel Server System Service within the current Siebel Enterprise Server. The Siebel Server runs as a Windows service in a Windows environment and a daemon process in a UNIX environment. For information on administering the Siebel Server System Service, see Administering the Siebel Server System Service.

During startup, the Siebel Server System Service:

Reads configuration information from the Siebel Gateway, specifically the siebns.dat file. For information on the Siebel Gateway, see Siebel Gateway.
Creates a shared memory file. By default, this file has the name Enterprise_Server_Name.Server_Server_Name.shm. The Siebel Server System Service deletes this file when it shuts down.

NOTE:  If the Siebel Server System Service is improperly shut down, the .shm file may not be deleted by the Siebel Server System Service. In this case, delete (or rename) this file before restarting the Siebel Server System Service. (If this file is not visible, it may be a hidden file.)

Forks component processes (multithreaded and background). See Component Processes (Shells) for details on these processes.
Registers with Resonate and with the Siebel Gateway (in case Resonate is installed). For information on Resonate, see the Siebel Server Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
