Creating a Custom Siebel Server Component Group

If you want to create your own defined components and assign them to component groups other than the predefined ones, then you first must create component groups before creating the defined components. Component groups allow you to run related tasks and administer related components in logical groupings. Do not perform this task if you plan to add a new custom Siebel Server component to an existing component group.

This task is an optional step in Process of Creating a Custom Siebel Server Component.

To create a custom component group

1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Enterprises view.
2. Select the Component Groups view tab.
3. In the Component Groups list, click New.
4. In the Name field, type in a name for the component group.

   The name must be unique across the Siebel Enterprise Server. Specify a name that expressively identifies the component group.

5. In the Alias field, type in an alias for the component group.

   The component group alias must:

   • Be unique across the Siebel Enterprise Server
   • Not contain any spaces
   • Contain no more than 30 characters
6. In the Description field, enter a description of the component group.
7. Click Menu, and then Save Record.
