Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX > Creating the Siebel Installation Image on the Network > Obtaining Siebel Installation Media FilesIn general, Oracle distributes the media files for Siebel Business Applications to customers as follows:
NOTE: Whether particular releases are distributed as described above might change in some cases. If you cannot find your release, then check the Siebel Release Notes and other relevant information on My Oracle Support. Use a standard unpacking tool such as WinZip to extract from each ZIP file a set of JAR files that serve as the Siebel media files. (Validate that the unpacking tool that you are using can handle files of the sizes of the Siebel media files.) These JAR files, which are compressed files using the Java Archive format, are processed when you run the Siebel Image Creator utility. Siebel Business Applications releases are also available on DVD. NOTE: Siebel Business Applications software must be installed from a Siebel network image that was created using Siebel Image Creator. You cannot install directly from the ZIP files, JAR files, or DVDs. Download the ZIP files representing the Siebel modules and languages that you require into one or more target locations. After you download the files, review the ZIP file sizes and validate the checksum values of the downloaded files against the published values. Also provided are the Siebel Image Creator executable program and the files it requires. Extract the JAR files from the ZIP files and place them in a single directory on your network. You run Siebel Image Creator from the JAR files directory. All of the JAR file names include the designation SBA (for Siebel Business Applications). For the full requirements for running Siebel Image Creator, see Preparing to Create a Siebel Installation Image. TIP: If you obtain JAR files for more than one release, then it is generally recommended that you put them into a separate directory for each release, corresponding to the version number. You use Siebel Image Creator to create a network image (also called a Siebel image) from which you subsequently install Siebel Business Applications. All installations for Siebel modules must be performed from the Siebel image, for each software version that supports a full installation of the current release, and for any applicable Siebel Patchset releases. The installation process is described in Installing Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension and other chapters for installing particular Siebel modules. For more information about the contents and organization of the Siebel media files, see Siebel Installation Media Contents. Before you download the ZIP files to your network, see Preparing to Create a Siebel Installation Image. Siebel Installation Media Files Provided on DVDAlternatively, you can obtain Siebel media ZIP files on DVD. These files are the same as the ZIP files that you can obtain from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. Accessing the Siebel media files that are provided on DVD requires a compatible DVD drive (+R compatible). You must use an appropriate NOTE: The Siebel DVD media require the Rock Ridge extensions. On some UNIX operating systems, such as HP-UX, the For each DVD, copy the ZIP media files representing the Siebel modules or languages that you require into one or more target locations. Review the ZIP file sizes before you copy them. Each DVD uses up to 5 GB of storage. For more information about the contents and organization of the Siebel media files, see Siebel Installation Media Contents. Before you copy the ZIP files to your network, see Preparing to Create a Siebel Installation Image. Related DocumentsRelated Topics |
