Roadmap for Setting Up Siebel Hospitality


Use this chapter in combination with Siebel Applications Administration Guide, Siebel Product Administration Guide, and Siebel Pricing Administration Guide.

NOTE:  The Siebel Bookshelf is available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. It might also be installed locally on your intranet or on a network location.

Siebel Applications Administration Guide covers the setup tasks that are common to all of Oracle's Siebel Business Applications, such as using license keys, defining employees, and defining the structure of your company. The guide also provides the information that you must have to perform data administration and document administration tasks.

Some tasks discussed in this chapter replace the corresponding tasks in Siebel Applications Administration Guide, whereas others are additional tasks. Make sure you review Table 5 before following the procedures in Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

This chapter assumes that you have already performed the following operations:

  • Installed or completed the upgrade of Siebel Hospitality, and created the Siebel Administrator account that is used to perform the tasks described in this guide. For more information, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using. If you are upgrading, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
  • Completed general Siebel application setup procedures, such as adding employees, assigning positions and responsibilities, setting visibility rules, and so on. For more information about the user authentication environment and how visibility works, see Siebel Security Guide.

Table 5 lists and describes the administrative setup tasks that are specific to Siebel Hospitality and the tasks that differ from those of other Siebel Business Applications. The table also directs you to documentation that provides information about each task.
