Migrating Server Parameters


When migrating from one environment to another, the Siebel Administrator must add any parameter changes to the target server.

The process involves outlining the parameters that were added or modified, exporting them to a text file, and then importing them into the new environment. You can use the Server Manager command line utility (srvrmgr) to extract the parameters. Parameters can be recorded in a batch file and imported as a batch submission.

To export server parameters from the source server

  1. Open a command prompt on the source server and change to your siebsrv\bin directory.
  2. Execute the following command:
  3. srvrmgr /g <gateway-server> /e <enterprise-server> /u SADMIN / p <SADMIN-password> /o "<output-file>" /c "list parameters"

    This command exports a list of parameters to a text file.

  4. Edit the file to remove the lines describing default parameters and machine-specific parameters.

The output/input file is an ASCII text file that contains lines describing server parameters, such as:

change param MaxTasks=40 for comp SCCObjMgr
change param MaxMTServer=2 for comp SCCObjMgr

To import server parameters to the target server

  1. Open a command prompt on the target server and change to your siebsrv\bin directory.
  2. Execute the following command:
  3. srvrmgr /g <gateway-server> /e <enterprise-server> /u SADMIN / p <SADMIN-password> /b /i "<input-file>"

    where <input-file> is the file you generated and edited in the export procedure.

    This command imports the list of parameters from the specified text file.

For more information about server parameters, see Siebel Server Administration Guide. The "list parameters" command is listed with several additional parameters to retrieve parameters for the Siebel Enterprise, Server, Component, and Subsystem.
