Requirements for Standard Interactivity Clients (Customer and Partner Portal)

This section lists the requirements for supporting customer and partner applications. For a definition of customer and partner applications, see Categorization of Siebel 8 Applications.

Table 9 lists the supported Web browsers and client operating systems for customer and partner applications, where Yes indicates support.

NOTE:  If you are running Siebel 8.0 applications on Microsoft Windows 2000 client, please read the following important information:

• Customers must have an extended support agreement with Microsoft, and must be willing to accept the risk that even with an extended support agreement, it may not be possible to resolve all of the issues that customers might experience.
• Customers should have a plan in place to upgrade to a more recent version of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
• As stated in Table 4, Siebel Mobile Web Client and Siebel Tools are not supported on Microsoft Windows 2000 client.

NOTE:  For information about the recommended settings for Internet Explorer browsers, see Article 1066053.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

NOTE:  Siebel environments are supported on Windows XP with the "Multilingual User Interface" (MUI) installed. It should be noted that the MUI environment will display Microsoft help texts and error messages in the base language, English, instead of the localized enabled language, such as Japanese. This is due to a Microsoft defect.
