Installing and Configuring Software for Servers and Clients

Before you can establish a relationship with your trading partners though BizTalk, or set up an application-to-application connection, you need to set up and configure servers and clients.

You should have multiple-machine configuration—Siebel Server, BizTalk Server, and Siebel clients. However, your setup may be different and your configuration may vary from the suggested setup.

The components required for BizTalk integration are installed when you install Siebel EAI Connectors (as part of a Custom Installation). The default configuration is the Siebel Database and Siebel Gateway installed on the Siebel Server machine. Your deployment, however, might have a different configuration.

CAUTION:  The Siebel BizTalk interface files are not installed automatically when you do a Typical or Compact installation. You must install BizTalk files as a Custom installation by selecting Custom Installation, then EAI Connectors, and then the Siebel Connector for Microsoft BizTalk Server option.

NOTE:  For Siebel Server in a UNIX environment, you must install the EAI Connectors again separately under Windows. There is no UNIX version of BizTalk Server. One possibility is to install on the same machine with the BizTalk Server. Note that the EAI Connectors installation is not shipped on the UNIX CD, only on the Windows CD. For information on the supported UNIX and Windows platforms, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
