Configuring the SWSE Logical Profile


This procedure describes how to configure an SWSE logical profile. The same steps apply whether you are configuring the first SWSE logical profile, reconfiguring the same profile with different settings, or configuring any additional profile. This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

To configure the SWSE logical profile

  1. Start the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard.

    For more information, see Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard.

  2. Choose Create New Configuration, then Configure a New Siebel Web Server Extension Logical Profile.
  3. Provide input as described in Table 10. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Configuration Settings for the SWSE Logical Profile

Table 10 lists the settings requested in the Siebel Configuration Wizard for configuring the SWSE logical profile. Where it is available, you can click Help to display help text with more information about the settings.

In the table, parameters might be identified by name and by the section of the eapps.cfg file in which they appear. For example, [/SiebelApp_lang] might be [/callcenter_deu], which is the Siebel Call Center application for German.

admin\Webserver
.

You specify this location later when you configure the SWSE, as described in Applying the SWSE Logical Profile.
