Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard


Use the following procedure to start a Siebel Configuration Wizard. You start the wizard by using a Windows shortcut or from the command line. For more information about command-line syntax elements, see Siebel Configuration Wizard Syntax Elements. For UNIX-based procedures, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX.

Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard Using a Windows Shortcut

Use the following procedure to start a Siebel Configuration Wizard by using a Windows shortcut.

NOTE:  No shortcut is provided for starting the Siebel Management Server Configuration Wizard. Use the procedure for starting the wizard at the command line.

To start a Siebel Configuration Wizard using Windows shortcuts (where available)

  1. Choose Start, All Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server Configuration 8.1.1.11.0 or 8.2.2.0.0, and then Config_Type.

    In this menu command, Config_Type is the type of configuration you want to perform, such as:

    • Siebel Enterprise Configuration
    • Siebel Server Configuration
    • Database Server Configuration
    • Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration
    • Management Agent Configuration
  2. Respond to the prompts in the Configuration Wizard you are running:
  3. Click Exit Configuration to exit the Configuration Wizard.

Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard at the Command Line

Use the following procedure to start a Siebel Configuration Wizard at the command line.

To start a Siebel Configuration Wizard at the command line

  1. Open a DOS command window.
  2. Navigate to the config subdirectory of the installed Siebel module that you want to configure within your SIEBEL_ROOT directory. For example, for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11:
    • For configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server or the Siebel Enterprise, navigate to a directory like C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config. Also navigate to this directory if you are configuring an SWSE logical profile.
    • For configuring the Siebel Server or the Siebel database, navigate to a directory like C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config.
    • For configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), navigate to a directory like C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\sweapp\config.
    • For configuring the Siebel Management Agent, navigate to a directory like C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config.
    • For configuring the Siebel Management Server (on Windows only), navigate to a directory like C:\sba81\mgmtsrvr\config or C:\sba82\mgmtsrvr\config.

      To start the Configuration Wizard to configure in GUI mode, go to the next step. For an unattended configuration (where applicable), go to Step 4.

  3. Enter a command similar to the following to start the Configuration Wizard:

    install_path\config\config.bat -mode mode_name

    where:

    • install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel module
    • mode_name specifies the Configuration Wizard to run, and is one of the following:
      • enterprise is for the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard (includes tasks for configuring Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Enterprise, and SWSE logical profile)
      • siebsrvr is for the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard
      • dbsrvr is for the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard
      • swse is for the Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration Wizard
      • mgmtagent is for the Siebel Management Agent Configuration Wizard
      • mgmtsrvr is for the Siebel Management Server Configuration Wizard (Windows only)

        Example commands follow for each of the modules listed, for different versions.

        Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard:

    C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode enterprise

    C:\siebel\8.2.2.4.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode enterprise

    Siebel Server Configuration Wizard:

    C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode siebsrvr

    C:\siebel\8.2.2.4.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode siebsrvr

    Siebel Database Configuration Wizard:

    C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode dbsrvr

    C:\siebel\8.2.2.4.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode dbsrvr

    Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration Wizard:

    C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\sweapp\config\config.bat -mode swse

    C:\siebel\8.2.2.4.0\sweapp\config\config.bat -mode swse

    Siebel Management Agent Configuration Wizard:

    C:\siebel\8.1.1.11.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode mgmtagent

    C:\siebel\8.2.2.4.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode mgmtagent

    Siebel Management Server Configuration Wizard (Windows only):

    C:\sba81\mgmtsrvr\config\config.bat -mode mgmtsrvr

    C:\sba82\mgmtsrvr\config\config.bat -mode mgmtsrvr

    Go to Step 5.

  4. For an unattended configuration, start the Configuration Wizard, using the appropriate command-line options:
    • If you are generating a response file, then start the wizard as described in Step 3 and also using the -skipValidation option. You must also specify to save the response file at the end of the wizard task. Use a command similar to the following:

    install_path\config\config.bat -mode mode_name -skipValidation

    • If you are executing a response file you saved in a previous configuration session, then start the wizard using the -responseFile option, specifying the name of the response file to execute. Use a command similar to the following:

    install_path\config\config.bat -mode mode_name -responseFile file_name

    where:

    • install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel module (see examples in Step 3)
    • mode_name specifies the Configuration Wizard to run (see examples in Step 3)
    • file_name is the name of the response file you are executing

      NOTE:  For an unattended configuration, you would save and later execute separate response files for configuring Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Enterprise, SWSE logical profile, Siebel Server, and Siebel Web Server Extension. Unattended configuration is not supported for the Siebel database, Siebel Management Agent, or Siebel Management Server.

      If you are generating a response file, then go to the next step. If you are executing a response file, then the Configuration Wizard runs in unattended mode and completes configuration.

  5. Respond to the prompts in the Configuration Wizard you are running:
  6. Click Exit Configuration to exit the Configuration Wizard.
