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 and the Siebel Enterprise 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 case 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.

Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Components

To configure the Siebel Server

  1. Open a shell window on the computer on which you installed the Siebel Server.
  2. Source the cfgenv.csh or cfgenv.sh environment setup file.

    Navigate to the $SIEBSRVR_ROOT directory and source the environment file by using one of the following commands, depending on the type of shell that you use. Perform this step before each time that you run the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard.

    C shell

    source cfgenv.csh

    Bourne or Korn shell

    . ./cfgenv.sh

    TIP:   Make sure that there is a space between the initial period and ./cfgenv.sh.

    In this path, $SIEBSRVR_ROOT is the location of the Siebel Server root directory. For example, for Siebel CRM version 15.0, the directory might be /export/home/siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/siebsrvr.

  3. Start the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard.

    For more information, see Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard.

    Enter a command similar to the following:

    install_path/config/config -mode siebsrvr

    In this path, install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel Server software.

  4. Choose Create New Configuration.
  5. Provide input as described in Table 9. Click Next to go to the next screen.

    Where it is available, click Help to display help text with more information about the settings.

    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.

  6. 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.
  7. 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.

  8. Source the siebenv.csh or siebenv.sh environment setup file.

    Navigate to the $SIEBSRVR_ROOT directory and source the environment file by using one of the following commands, depending on the type of shell that you use. Perform this step after each time that you run the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard.

    C shell

    source siebenv.csh

    Bourne or Korn shell

    . ./siebenv.sh

    TIP:   Make sure that there is a space between the initial period and ./siebenv.sh.

    In this path, $SIEBSRVR_ROOT is the location of the Siebel Server root directory. For example, for Siebel CRM version 15.0, the directory might be /export/home/siebel/15.0.0.0.0/ses/siebsrvr.

Configuration Settings for the Siebel Server

Table 9 describes the settings that are requested in the Siebel Configuration Wizard for configuring the Siebel Server. Where it is available, you can click Help to display help text with more information about the settings.

For requirements for and restrictions on these parameters, see Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Components. For additional information about many of these parameters, see Siebel System Administration Guide and Siebel Security Guide.

NOTE:  After you have already configured a Siebel Server, you can modify its configuration using Siebel Server Manager, as described in Siebel System Administration Guide.

Setting in Siebel Configuration Wizard (Parameter)
Comment or Description

Gateway Name Server Authentication User Account Name

Specify the user name for the account that you are using for Siebel Gateway Name Server authentication.

Gateway Name Server Authentication User Account Password

Specify the password for the account that you are using for Siebel Gateway Name Server authentication.

Gateway Name Server Host Name

Specify the host name of the computer on which the Siebel Gateway Name Server is installed.

Gateway Name Server TCP/IP Port

Specify the port number that the Siebel Gateway Name Server uses for connections from Siebel Server or other components. The default port number is 2320. Use the port number that you specified when you configured the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

Siebel Enterprise Name

Specify the name of the Siebel Enterprise that you previously configured.

Siebel Server Name

(Server)

Represents the name of the Siebel Server configuration instance, as it is stored in the Siebel Gateway Name Server. For more information, see Restrictions on Names for Siebel Enterprise and Siebel Server.

Siebel Server Description

(ServerDesc)

Provide a short description for the Siebel Server.

Enable Component Groups

Specify one or more component groups to enable for this Siebel Server. For more information about component groups, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

Specify Client User Interface

(EnableOpenUI)

Specify the client user interface for Siebel applications on this Siebel Server. Select one of the following options:

  • Open UI
  • High Interactivity

Your selection sets the parameter EnableOpenUI to True (for Siebel Open UI) or to False (for high interactivity) for the Application Object Managers in the component groups that you are enabling on this Siebel Server. For more information, see Enabling Siebel Open UI.

Language for Server Messages and Logs

(Lang)

The primary language, which is used for server messages and log files. Language support must be present on the server on which you have installed the software. See also Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

NOTE:  This option does not appear for a single-language installation. In this case, the installed language is used as the primary language.

Deployed Languages

Specifies the installed languages that you want to deploy. Application Object Manager components are created for each of these languages.

NOTE:  This option does not appear for a single-language installation. In this case, the installed language is automatically deployed when you configure the Siebel Server.

After initially configuring the Siebel Server, you can deploy languages that you installed but did not deploy by running the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard again and choosing the task Add Language Support for the Siebel Server.

For more information, see Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages and Enabling and Disabling Language-Specific Application Object Managers and Adding Languages.

Siebel Connection Broker Port

(PortNumber)

Specify the TCP/IP port number for the Siebel Connection Broker component (alias SCBroker). The default port number is 2321.

NOTE:  This port number is used for all of the communications between SCBroker and other components, including the Web server and SWSE. Make sure that the port number that you specify for SCBroker is not occupied by any other applications, other Siebel components (such as Siebel Gateway Name Server), or other Siebel Server instances. You also specify this port number when you configure the SWSE, as described in Applying the SWSE Logical Profile.

For more information about the SCBroker component, see Siebel Deployment Planning Guide and Siebel System Administration Guide.

If you want to change an SCBroker port number later, then use Siebel Server Manager to specify a value for the Static Port Number parameter (alias PortNumber).

Network TCP/IP Port for Synchronization Manager

(SyncPort)

Specify the TCP/IP port number for the Synchronization Manager component, which is part of Siebel Remote. The default port number is 40400.
