Installing the Sample Database

---

This section describes how to install the Siebel Sample Database.

The Sample Database contains example data of various kinds to help you understand how the Siebel eBusiness Applications work. You can install the Sample Database for the Siebel Mobile or Dedicated Web Client. Or, you can also install the Sample Database for Siebel Tools. The Sample Database, like the local database used with the Siebel Mobile Web Client, is based on SQL Anywhere.

NOTE:  Installation of the Siebel Sample Database is optional and applies only to Siebel Mobile and Dedicated Web Clients, not to the Siebel Web Client. You must install the client before you can install the Sample Database.

The installer for all language versions of the Sample Database exists on the Siebel Sample Database CD-ROM.

To install the Siebel Sample Database

Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the root directory of the Siebel Sample Database CD-ROM, then navigate to the sample folder.

CAUTION:  You must run this and other installation programs from the CD-ROM or a network drive mapped to a drive letter. If you attempt to install from an unmapped network drive, the installer may be unable to locate files it needs to proceed and may fail.

Double-click install.exe to start the installer.
From the Choose Setup Language screen, choose the language in which to conduct the installation, then click OK.
From the Welcome screen, click Next.
In the Setup Type screen, select the type of Siebel installation to perform:
Typical. Installs the Sample Database plus optional components. This option is recommended for most users.
Compact. Installs the Sample Database plus optional components.
Custom. Installs the Sample Database and lets you specify whether to install the following optional components: Sample Files and Sample Search Index. These options are selected by default.

NOTE:  For the standard installer for the Siebel Sample Database, the Setup Type options currently install the same components. In a customized installation, these options may install different elements.

While still in the Setup Type screen, verify that the Sample Database installation directory listed is correct.

CAUTION:  Be sure that the directory path in the Setup Type screen is the same as that of the Mobile or Dedicated Web Client installation. The path must include the root level of the client. The default directory is C:\sea7xx\client.

Click Next to accept the default directory.
Click Browse to select a different destination directory.

For details on pathname requirements, see Directory Names.

If you are performing a:

Typical or Compact installation, go to Step 8.
Custom installation, go to Step 7.
For a custom installation, select from the Select Components screen the optional components you want to install. This screen appears only if you chose Custom installation in Step 5.
In the Choose Languages screen, select the languages to install. The language in which you are performing the installation, specified in Step 3, is preselected as a default.

Verify that your destination machine has sufficient disk space for the installation, then click Next.

NOTE:  Before installing a non-ENU language, be sure the SQL Anywhere database engine is running. The SQL Anywhere database engine is started when the Siebel Mobile or Dedicated Web Client is connected to the Sample Database. If the configuration parameter AutoStopDB is FALSE (default), then the database engine continues to run after the user logs out of the Siebel applications. If this parameter is TRUE, then the engine exits when the user logs out.

In the Select Program Folder screen, enter the name of the program folder that will contain your Siebel shortcuts, then click Next.

The default name is Siebel Client 7.x.x. You can use spaces and the backslash (\) in folder names to create a folder hierarchy.

The setup program copies files to the local host machine's hard disk. A status bar in the Setup Status dialog box indicates the progress of the installation. A separate set of files is installed for each language specified in Step 8, in addition to those installed for the base installation.

Review the Event Log screen, then click Next.

This log provides details of the steps the installer has performed during your Sample Database installation.

Click Finish in the Setup Complete screen.

The installation is now finished. Siebel Demo application shortcuts (for example, Siebel Call Center Demo - ENU) are created in the program folder specified in Step 9. For more information, see Siebel Client Shortcuts.

To verify successful installation of the Sample Database, see After Installing.

NOTE:  By default, the SRF file contains the appropriate localization strings to display correct field labels for the languages you have chosen when installing the Sample Database. However, if you later make a change to the Siebel Repository, you must import non-ENU localization strings for non-ENU field labels before compiling the new SRF file. To import non-ENU localization strings, run Programs > Siebel Client 7.x.x > Import LANGUAGE (such as Import FRA for French). A batch process is initiated to import the localization strings.
