Configuring Named Subsystems

Named Subsystems are groupings of defined enterprise parameters, which allow the Siebel Server to manage multiple sets of parameter values. Like other server constructs (component definitions, server parameters, enterprise parameters, component parameters, and so on), they are stored in the Siebel Gateway. When a Siebel Server starts up, it retrieves the information in the Siebel Gateway and creates a copy of the named subsystems in shared memory. See also Named Subsystems.

Named Subsystem parameters override parameters set at the Enterprise Server, Siebel Server, and server component levels. See Parameter Administration for further details on setting parameters.

You can create and modify Named Subsystems using both the Siebel Server Manager GUI and command-line interfaces. To configure Named Subsystems using the Siebel Server Manager command-line interface, see Named Subsystem Management Commands.

To create Named Subsystems

  1. Navigate to the Enterprise Configuration screen.
  2. Click the Enterprise Profile Configuration view tab.
  3. In the Component Profiles list, click the menu button and then New Record.
    1. In the Name field, type in the name of the Named Subsystem.
    2. In the Named Subsystem Alias field, type in the alias of the Named Subsystem.
    3. In the Subsystem Type field, click the select button and then select the Subsystem Type from the dialog box and click OK.

      4. The subsystem type that you select should have a checkmark in the Is Named Enabled field.

    4. In the Description, type in a description of the Named Subsystem.
    5. Click the menu button and then Save Record.
  4. In the Enterprise Profile Configuration list, modify parameters as appropriate.

    5. Parameters will already be added to the Named Subsystem based on the subsystem type that you selected.

    1. Select any parameter that you want to modify.
    2. In the Value field, type in the new value.
    3. Click the menu button and then Save Record.
