Pre-Installation Checklist for the Siebel Server

---

Make sure you perform the following tasks before installing the Siebel Server:

Make sure that you have installed the Siebel Gateway and that it is running. If you installed the Siebel Gateway immediately prior to installing the Siebel Server, it is already running. (To manually start the Gateway, see Starting the Siebel Gateway.)

NOTE:  You will be unable to complete the Siebel Server installation if the Siebel Gateway is not running.

Any active Siebel Server process should be stopped with the exception of the Siebel Gateway.
Make sure that you have already installed the appropriate version of all third-party software products required before you install the Siebel Server. Otherwise, the Required Software Components prompt appears. For more information, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
Verify the following:
Confirm that the following temporary disk space is available to the installer:

AIX	130 MB
Solaris	90 MB
HP-UX	210 MB

Make sure the parent directory where Siebel eBusiness Applications are installed has no set-group-id flag. Alternatively, if the set-group-id flag is used, be sure that the login ID of the person performing installation has the same group id as the person who owns the parent directory. Being a member of the group that owns the parent (Siebel) directory is not enough.
On AIX only, verify that the login ID performing installation has permission to run slibclean.

CAUTION:  If you have Central Dispatch running on the same machine on which you are also configuring a Siebel Server, but you do not want to configure the Siebel Server for use with Central Dispatch, you must set the UseSCB server parameter to FALSE while the Siebel Gateway is running. Otherwise, the Siebel Server will not start properly. For information on how to set server parameters, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.
