Running MainWin for Analytics Under Solaris


Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating System: Solaris only.

This topic is part of a roadmap. See Determining Analytics Installation Requirements.

This topic applies if you are running a Siebel operational application on a Solaris machine on which you plan to install Siebel Analytics. The Siebel Server has its own MainWin software, and the location of MainWin is included in the PATH environment variable.

In order to run Siebel Analytics and a Siebel operational application on the same machine, you must perform one or the other of the following tasks:

  • Remove the Siebel Server (Siebsrvr) Mainwin path from the PATH environment variable
  • Install the Siebel Analytics software under a different account.

If Analytics is subsequently installed on the same machine as the Siebel Server, the Analytics version of MainWin is added to the end of the PATH environment variable. Therefore, when Analytics calls the MainWin software components, the Siebel Server MainWin components are used instead of the Analytics MainWin components, causing licensing-based errors.
