Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard at the Command Line

Use the following procedure to start a Siebel Configuration Wizard at the command line.

To start a Siebel Configuration Wizard at the command line

1. Open a DOS command window.
2. Navigate to the config subdirectory of the installed Siebel module that you want to configure within your SIEBEL_ROOT directory. For Siebel CRM version 16.0:
   • For configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server or the Siebel Enterprise, navigate to a directory like the following on the Siebel Gateway Name Server computer: C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\ses\config. Also navigate to this directory if you are configuring an SWSE logical profile.
   • For configuring the Siebel Server or the Siebel database, navigate to a directory like the following, on the Siebel Server computer: C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\ses\config.
   • For configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), navigate to a directory like the following, on the Web server computer: C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\sweapp\config.

     To start the Configuration Wizard to configure in GUI mode, go to the next step. Use the same commands if you are generating a response file for unattended configuration. To perform an unattended configuration, go to Step 4.

3. Enter a command similar to the following to start the Configuration Wizard:

   install_path\config\config.bat -mode mode_name

   where:

   • install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel module
   • mode_name specifies the Configuration Wizard to run, and is one of the following:
     • enterprise is for the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard (includes tasks for configuring Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Enterprise, and SWSE logical profile)
     • siebsrvr is for the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard
     • dbsrvr is for the Siebel Database Configuration Wizard
     • swse is for the Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration Wizard

       Example commands follow for the modules listed.

       Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard:

   C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode enterprise

   Siebel Server Configuration Wizard:

   C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode siebsrvr

   Siebel Database Configuration Wizard:

   C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\ses\config\config.bat -mode dbsrvr

   Siebel Web Server Extension Configuration Wizard:

   C:\siebel\16.0.0.0.0\sweapp\config\config.bat -mode swse

   For an unattended configuration, go to the next step. Otherwise, go to Step 5.

4. For an unattended configuration, you save and later execute separate response files for configuring the Siebel Gateway Name Server, Siebel Enterprise, SWSE logical profile, Siebel database, Siebel Server, or Siebel Web Server Extension. Do one of the following:
   • If you are generating a response file, then go to Step 5 and continue the configuration process. In the summary screen, choose the option to save a configuration file, then cancel the wizard. Then, to perform the unattended configuration of the same component, restart the wizard as described in the next paragraph.
   • If you are executing a response file that you saved in a previous configuration session, then start the wizard using the -responseFile option, specifying the name of the response file to execute. Use a command similar to the following:

   install_path\config\config.bat -mode mode_name -responseFile file_name

   where:

   • install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel module (see examples in Step 3)
   • mode_name specifies the Configuration Wizard to run (see examples in Step 3)
   • file_name is the name of the response file that you are executing

     If you are generating a response file, then go to the next step. If you are executing a response file, then the Configuration Wizard runs in unattended mode and completes configuration.
