Starting the Siebel Server Service

In order to run the Siebel Server, you must start the Siebel Server service. This topic describes how to start this service manually. You perform this task after you configure the Siebel Server. You also perform this task anytime the server computer has been rebooted if you did not select automatic Siebel Server startup when you configured the Siebel Server.

If you are clustering a particular server, then you must start and stop it using the Cluster Administrator, rather than by using the following procedure.
