Starting the Siebel Gateway

---

If, during configuration, you selected manual start for the Siebel Gateway, you must start it every time you install and configure a new Siebel Server component and every time you operate a Siebel eBusiness application.

To verify that the Siebel Gateway has started

Navigate to the $SIEBEL_ROOT/gtwysrvr directory and source the Siebel environmental variables. Choose the appropriate command for your UNIX shell or its variant.

Korn or Bourne shell:

. ./siebenv.sh

TIP:  Make sure there is a space between the initial period and ./siebenv.sh.

C-shell:

source siebenv.csh

This sets the Siebel environment variables and path information required to use Siebel utilities.

TIP:  To configure the Siebel environment shell script to source automatically whenever a Siebel administrator logs on, specify the shell as the default for administrator accounts. Then, add this command to the startup file for the administrator's account.

To verify that the Siebel Gateway is running

Enter list_ns

You should receive a response similar to this:

started at Fri Oct 19 15:33:26 2001, pid: 4024, autostart: yes

If the Siebel Gateway is stopped, do the following:

Execute the start_ns command to start the Siebel Gateway.
Execute list_ns to verify that it is operating correctly.
