Installing Multilingual Seed Data on Your Siebel DB Server on Oracle


If your organization deploys internationally and, therefore, requires data to be in multiple languages, you must install multilingual seed data (for example, lists of views, responsibilities, or system preferences). To do this, you add new Language Packs to your database after you have installed the primary(base) language for your Siebel Database Server. This populates the List of Values (LOV) with seed data in the new language.

Only after you successfully install seed data in your primary(base) language can you add seed data in other languages to your database.

CAUTION:  You must have already installed those languages you want the Siebel Database for the Enterprise to support on the Siebel Server associated with it before you add them to the database.

To install multilingual seed data

  1. Insert or mount the Solaris|AIX Server Programs Base CD-ROM and follow the instructions under Installing the Siebel Database Server Software on Oracle until you get to Step 7, but select 2 to select Add a new language to an existing instance.
  2. Follow the rest of the prompts, inserting the required number of Language Pack CDs for your Siebel product.
  3. When language installation is complete, follow the procedure for Installing Siebel Database Server Components on Oracle up to Step 9, but enter 2 to select Add a language to an existing Siebel Database.
  4. Answer the remaining prompts as you did when you installed your primary(base) language seed data.
  5. Enable the multilingual list of values (MLOV) capability within Siebel eBusiness Applications. For information, see Siebel Tools Reference.
