This topic is part of Configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server for Automatic Start.

To configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server to start automatically on HP-UX

1. Log on as root to the computer on which the Siebel Gateway Name Server was installed.
2. Copy the file siebel_server to the /sbin/init.d directory, as follows:

   cp $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin/siebel_server /sbin/init.d

   In this command, $SIEBEL_ROOT is the full path to the Siebel root directory.

3. Using any text editor, edit /sbin/init.d/siebel_server. Replace $SIEBEL_GATEWAY_ROOT with the path to the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation directory.
4. Set the appropriate permissions by executing the following command:

   chmod 755 /sbin/init.d/siebel_server

5. Create a soft link to /sbin/rc3.d/S720siebel_server from /sbin/init.d/siebel_server by executing the following command:

   ln -s /sbin/init.d/siebel_server /sbin/rc3.d/S720siebel_server

6. Create a soft link to /sbin/rc2.d/K320siebel_server from /sbin/init.d/siebel_server by executing the following command:

   ln -s /sbin/init.d/siebel_server /sbin/rc2.d/K320siebel_server

7. Create or edit /sbin/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot to add the following line:

   /usr/bin/su - SIEBEL_ACCOUNT -c "/sbin/init.d/siebel_server $1"

   In this command, SIEBEL_ACCOUNT is the nonroot user account installing Siebel Business Applications.

8. Remove /sbin/rc3.d/S720siebel_server and /sbin/rc2.d/K320siebel_server, if they already exist.
9. Execute the following commands:

   chmod 755 /sbin/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot

   ln -s /sbin/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot /sbin/rc3.d/S720siebel_server

   ln -s /sbin/init.d/siebel_server_nonroot /sbin/rc2.d/K320siebel_server
