Starting a Siebel Server

This topic describes how to start a Siebel Server.

Note: In order to start the Siebel Server, the Siebel Server system service must be running.

If the Auto Startup Mode (alias AutoStart) Siebel Server parameter is set to the default value of True, then the Siebel Server starts automatically when the Siebel Server system service is started.

Note: Starting a Siebel Server starts the default number of tasks, as defined in the Default Tasks (alias DfltTasks) parameter, for each background-mode component.

To start a Siebel Server 

1. Navigate to Administration - Server Management screen, then the Enterprises view.

2. In the Servers list, select the Siebel Server of interest.

3. Click Startup.

   The State field changes to Starting Up.

Shutting Down a Siebel Server

This topic describes how to shut down a Siebel Server.

Caution: If you shut down the Siebel Server that is hosting your current Siebel Web Client session, then you lose connection to the Siebel Server and cannot restart the Siebel Server by using the Siebel Web Client. In such a case, you must restart the Siebel Server by using the Siebel Developer Web Client or the Server Manager command-line interface. You can shut down and restart Siebel Servers that do not host your Siebel Web Client session without losing your connection.

Note: Shutting down the Siebel Server does not automatically shut down the Siebel Server system service. In some cases, you must shut down not only the Siebel Server, but also the Siebel Server system service.
