Configuring the Siebel Server


Running the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard assumes that you have performed all of the prerequisite configuration tasks: configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Enterprise, and SWSE logical profile, and installing the Siebel database.

After you have installed Siebel Server and performed the prerequisite tasks, you run the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard to perform the Create New Configuration task as shown. This wizard includes the tasks described in this topic.

NOTE:  If you do not yet have a Siebel database, then you must configure the RDBMS and install the Siebel database before you can configure the Siebel Server: the scenario that corresponds to the first roadmap topic identified in the following list.

This task is a step in:

NOTE:  Run the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard without using the flag for skipping validation, so that the wizard validates that the Siebel Gateway Name Server is running. If it is not running, then the wizard does not let you proceed with the configuration.

To configure the Siebel Server

  1. Start the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard.

    For more information, see Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard.

  2. Choose Create New Configuration.
  3. Provide input as described in Table 7. The wizard displays help text with more information about most of these settings.
  4. Click Exit Configuration to exit the Configuration Wizard.
