More Information About Using the Siebel Configuration Wizards

As part of the following procedure, depending on which Configuration Wizards you are running, you must enter the necessary commands to source one of the following environment setup files, as appropriate, to configure or validate the environment.

• cfgenv.csh or cfgenv.sh. Before you run the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard, the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard, or the SWSE Configuration Wizard, you must source either cfgenv.csh (for C shell) or cfgenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). These environment files are located in the installation directory for the installed module. For example for Siebel CRM version 15.0, modules might be installed in /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/gtwysrvr, /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/siebsrvr, or /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/sweapp. For more information, see the topics for performing the individual configuration tasks.
• siebenv.csh or siebenv.sh. These files are created for two different Siebel Enterprise Server components: Siebel Gateway Name Server and Siebel Server.
  • After you run the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard to configure the Siebel Enterprise, you must source either siebenv.csh (for C shell) or siebenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). These environment files are created in the $SIEBEL_GATEWAY_ROOT installation directory. For more information, see Configuring the Siebel Enterprise.
  • After you run the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard to configure the Siebel Server, you must source either siebenv.csh (for C shell) or siebenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). These environment files are created in the $SIEBSRVR_ROOT installation directory. For more information, see Configuring the Siebel Server.
• dbenv.csh or dbenv.sh. Before you run the Database Configuration Wizard, you must source either dbenv.csh (for C shell) or dbenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). Before you can source one of these files, you must create them by running the script CreateDbSrvrEnvScript. These environment files are created in the $SIEBSRVR_ROOT installation directory. For more information, see Installing the Siebel Database.

To start a Siebel Configuration Wizard

1. Open a shell window.
2. Source an environment setup file, as appropriate for the module you are configuring,
   • Before you run the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard, the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard, or the SWSE Configuration Wizard, source either cfgenv.csh (for C shell) or cfgenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). For more information, see the topics for performing the individual configuration tasks.
   • Before you run the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard, source either dbenv.csh (for C shell) or dbenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). For more information, see Installing the Siebel Database.
3. Navigate to the config subdirectory of the installed Siebel module that you want to configure within your $SIEBEL_ROOT directory. For Siebel CRM version 15.0:
   • For configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server or the Siebel Enterprise, navigate to a directory like the following on the Siebel Gateway Name Server computer: /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/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 the following, on the Siebel Server computer: /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/config.
   • For configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), navigate to a directory like the following, on the Web server computer: /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/sweapp/config.

     To start the Configuration Wizard to configure in GUI mode, go to the next step. Use the same commands if you are generating a response file for unattended configuration. To perform an unattended configuration, go to Step 5.

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

   install_path/config/config -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

       Example commands follow for the modules listed.

       Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard:

   /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/config/config -mode enterprise

   Siebel Server Configuration Wizard:

   /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/config/config -mode siebsrvr

   Siebel Database Configuration Wizard:

   /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/config/config -mode dbsrvr

   Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration Wizard:

   /siebel/15.0.0.0.0/sweapp/config/config -mode swse

   For an unattended configuration, go to the next step. Otherwise, go to Step 6.

5. For an unattended configuration, you save and later execute separate response files for configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Enterprise, SWSE logical profile, Siebel database, Siebel Server, or Siebel Web Server Extension. Do one of the following:
   • If you are generating a response file, then go to Step 6 and continue the configuration process. In the summary screen, choose the option to save a configuration file, then cancel the wizard. Then, to perform the unattended configuration of the same component, restart the wizard as described in the next paragraph.
   • If you are executing a response file that 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 -mode mode_name -responseFile file_name

   where:

   • install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel module (see examples in Step 4)
   • mode_name specifies the Configuration Wizard to run (see examples in Step 4)
   • file_name is the name of the response file that you are executing

     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.

6. Respond to each prompt in the Configuration Wizard that you are running, then click Next to go to the next screen or to complete the configuration.
   • For configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server, see Configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server.
   • For configuring the Siebel Enterprise, see Configuring the Siebel Enterprise.
   • For installing the Siebel database, see Installing the Siebel Database.
   • For configuring the Siebel Server, see Configuring the Siebel Server.
   • For configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), see Process of Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

     NOTE:  You can click Cancel to exit the Configuration Wizard before you complete the configuration.

     After you specify or confirm all of your selections, the summary screen appears.

7. In the summary screen, do one of the following:
   • Click Next again to complete the configuration. Go to the next step.
   • Optionally, save a response file in this screen, to use in an unattended configuration, then click Cancel to exit the Configuration Wizard without completing configuration.
8. After configuration is complete, click Exit to exit the Configuration Wizard.

   To help you to verify that the configuration completed successfully, the log file is referenced at the end of the configuration task.

9. After you run the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard or the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard, source either siebenv.csh (for C shell) or siebenv.sh (for Bourne or Korn shell). For more information, see Configuring the Siebel Enterprise and Configuring the Siebel Server.
