Siebel Server Management Commands

Use the Siebel Server management commands to start or stop a Siebel Server or to back up the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

To start a Siebel Server

• Enter the following command:

  startup appserver siebel_server_name

To shut down a Siebel Server

• Enter the following command:

  shutdown appserver siebel_server_name

To back up Siebel Gateway Name Server information

• Enter one of the following commands:

  backup nameserver [file_name]

  backup namesrvr [file_name]

  If a file name is not specified, then the backup file name includes the date and time, using the format siebns.dat_yyyymmdd_hhmmss. The location of the backup file varies by operating system, as follows:

  • On Windows, the backup file is saved into the admin directory on the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation (GTWYSRVR_ROOT\admin). This directory is also the directory that contains the siebns.dat file that you backed up.
  • On AIX and Solaris, the backup file is saved into the admin directory on the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation (GTWYSRVR_ROOT/admin). This directory is not the same location as the directory that contains the siebns.dat file that you backed up. (The siebns.dat file is located in GTWYSRVR_ROOT/sys.)
  • On HP-UX and Linux, the backup file is saved into the sys directory on the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation (GTWYSRVR_ROOT/sys). This directory is also the directory that contains the siebns.dat file that you backed up.
