Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX > Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Business Applications > Planning Your Siebel Deployment > Installation and Configuration Methods by Deployment TypeYou can use any of several different overall methods for installing and configuring Siebel Business Applications software. Use the following information to help you determine which overall method, or combination of methods, is most suitable for your deployment requirements.
For more information, see Overview of Installing Siebel Business Applications and other relevant topics. Small to Medium-Sized DeploymentsDo you require a small to medium-sized deployment? For smaller deployments, including some test or demonstration deployments, you might require all of the server-based Siebel Business Applications software to be installed on the same computer. Verify that you have created the database instance (if you do not already have a Siebel database) and installed the Web server. The Siebel database might be located on the same computer as the Siebel Enterprise Server and the Web server with the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), or on a different computer. In this scenario, you install the Siebel Enterprise Server components and you install the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) on the computer with the Web server. Siebel Enterprise Server components include Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Server, Database Configuration Utilities, and EAI Connector. You use the Siebel Enterprise Server installer to install the Siebel Enterprise Server components, and you use the SWSE installer to install the SWSE. Run Siebel Configuration Wizards to configure the components that you installed. First configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server, then the Siebel Enterprise, then the SWSE logical profile. (You configure the physical SWSE after SWSE installation.) If you do not have a Siebel database, then you start the Database Configuration Wizard and perform the task to install the Siebel database into the database instance. After you install the Siebel database, you start the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard and configure the Siebel Server. You install the SWSE on the Web server computer, where you also installed Siebel Enterprise Server components, then you apply the SWSE logical profile. Medium-Sized DeploymentsDo you require a medium-sized deployment? Will you install all of the Siebel Enterprise Server components on the same computer? Siebel Enterprise Server components include Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Server, Database Configuration Utilities, and EAI Connector. Verify that you have created the database instance (if you do not already have a Siebel database) and installed the Web server. The Siebel database is assumed to be located on a different computer than the computer with Siebel Enterprise Server software. In this scenario, all of the Siebel Enterprise Server components are to be installed on the same computer, but the Web server and Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) are to be installed on a different computer. You use the Siebel Enterprise Server installer to install the Siebel Enterprise Server components, and you use the SWSE installer to install the SWSE. You can install in GUI mode or use unattended installation. For more information about unattended installation, see Large Deployments. Run Siebel Configuration Wizards to configure the components that you installed. First configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server, then the Siebel Enterprise, then the SWSE logical profile. (You configure the physical SWSE after SWSE installation.) If you do not have a Siebel database, then you start the Database Configuration Wizard and perform the task to install the Siebel database into the database instance. After you install the Siebel database, you start the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard and configure the Siebel Server. You install the SWSE on the Web server computer, then you apply the SWSE logical profile. Large DeploymentsDo you require a relatively large deployment? Will you use multiple servers to deploy your Siebel Enterprise Server components? Siebel Enterprise Server components include Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Server, Database Configuration Utilities, and EAI Connector. If you must support many users or multiple Siebel Business Applications and have multiple servers available, then you will probably install the Siebel Gateway Name Server on a different computer than the Siebel Server. A large deployment usually also requires multiple Siebel Servers running on different computers. Each Siebel Server might be configured to run a particular application or set of applications. Or, multiple Siebel Servers might be configured similarly for participation in load balancing. Install and configure additional Siebel Servers after completing initial installation and configuration tasks. Verify that you have created the database instance (if you do not already have a Siebel database) and installed the Web server. The Siebel database and the Web server are assumed to be located on different computers than those with Siebel Enterprise Server software. You use the Siebel Enterprise Server installer to install the Siebel Enterprise Server components, and you use the SWSE installer to install the SWSE. You install the Database Configuration Utilities with the first Siebel Server. For a new deployment, you must install both of these on the same computer where you installed the Siebel Gateway Name Server. (Configuring and deploying this Siebel Server is optional.) The Siebel database itself is located on a different computer than the Siebel Enterprise Server software. You can install in GUI mode or use unattended installation. Run Siebel Configuration Wizards to configure the components that you installed. First configure the Siebel Gateway Name Server, then the Siebel Enterprise, then the SWSE logical profile. (You configure the physical SWSE after SWSE installation.) If you do not have a Siebel database, then you start the Database Configuration Wizard and perform the task to install the Siebel database into the database instance. After you install the Siebel database, you start the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard and configure the Siebel Server. You install the SWSE on the Web server computer, then you configure the installed SWSE (apply the SWSE logical profile). Installation and Configuration OptionsThis topic is part of Installation and Configuration Methods by Deployment Type. Options that can help you install and configure Siebel Business Applications software efficiently include:
