Requirements for Installing Siebel Tools

Review the requirements in this topic before installing Siebel Tools, as described in Installing Siebel Web Clients and Siebel Tools.

• Your Siebel Tools platform must meet the requirements defined in the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.
• You must have all of the third-party software required for your implementation installed, including the database connectivity software for your chosen RDBMS. See the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.
• You must have installed and configured the Siebel Enterprise Server software, as described in Installing Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension.
• You must have created the Siebel database and installed the Siebel schema and seed data, as described in Configuring the RDBMS and Installing the Siebel Database on the RDBMS. This database stores the Siebel Tools project repositories.

  A local database can also be initialized for each developer user, as applicable. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications and Using Siebel Tools.

  NOTE:  Siebel Tools can also access demonstration data in the Siebel Sample Database, which you can install with the Siebel Mobile Web Client. For more information, see Installing and Using the Siebel Sample Database and related topics.

• The sort order for the Siebel database for development environments must be set to binary. If it is set otherwise, then you cannot compile or merge repositories.
• SAP SQL Anywhere is no longer provided for Siebel Innovation Pack 2015. You cannot use SAP SQL Anywhere for the local database for new deployments.

  NOTE:  For Siebel Innovation Pack 2015, the local database for Siebel Tools can use either SAP SQL Anywhere or Oracle Database XE. SAP SQL Anywhere is not available for new deployments after September 2015. For more detailed information on how this change affects Siebel Tools and Siebel Remote, see Siebel Release Notes on My Oracle Support for Innovation Pack 2015 (Doc ID 1996273.1).

• If you will use Oracle Database XE for the local database, then, when you create the Siebel network image for Siebel Tools, you must also include Oracle XE Local Database. For more information, see About the Siebel Network Image.

  Using Oracle Database XE also requires that you have installed the 32-bit Oracle database client on the developer computer. For more information, see Installing Oracle Database XE for the Local Database for Siebel Tools.

• Administrative rights are required for installation or uninstallation of Siebel Tools. For information about setting administration rights, consult the operating system manuals for the version of Microsoft Windows on which you are installing the Siebel Web Client software.
• Before performing a migration installation of Siebel Tools in a deployment with multiple languages, you must make sure that the current language mode for Siebel Tools corresponds to the primary language of the Siebel database.

  CAUTION:  If the current language mode for Siebel Tools, before the migration installation, was not the same as the primary language, then failures will occur during the execution of Incremental Repository Merge after the migration installation. For more information about setting the language mode, see Using Siebel Tools. For more information about running Incremental Repository Merge, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
