Installing All Required Languages but Deploying Some Languages Later

This topic is part of Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

This scenario is intended for customers who are deploying language packs included in the current release but who plan to deploy some of these language packs at a later date on particular instances of Siebel Server or Siebel Application Interface. Include all of the required languages with your initial installation.

There are two variations of this scenario that can achieve the desired result. Review each option and decide which one works best for your situation. See also Installing and Deploying All Required Languages Once for details for some tasks.

NOTE:  You perform the tasks in this topic in conjunction with topics such as Installing Siebel Business Applications. Perform all applicable steps that are documented in more detail in these and other topics. These tasks are also part of the roadmap topics in Overview of Installing Siebel Business Applications.

Deploying Multiple Languages Now and Later (Option 1)

Use the following procedure to deploy multiple languages now and at a later date. This procedure represents Option 1. Compare it with Option 2.

To deploy multiple languages now and at a later date (Option 1: preferred)

1. Perform tasks similar to those described in Installing and Deploying All Required Languages Once.
   • Install Siebel Business Applications software with all of the languages that you will deploy now and at a later date.
   • Install the latest Siebel Patchset release (where available) on all of the components in your Siebel CRM deployment.
   • When you configure each Siebel Server and Siebel Application Interface, specify that you want to deploy all of the installed languages.
2. For each Siebel Server, disable any language-specific Application Object Manager components that you do not yet require.
3. When you are ready to deploy additional installed languages, re-enable any language-specific Application Object Managers that you previously disabled.
4. For each additional installed (nonprimary) language that you are deploying for the first time: add the language to the Siebel database and import the Siebel Repository. Also run the MLOV conversion utility (once).

Deploying Multiple Languages Now and Later (Option 2)

Use the following procedure to deploy multiple languages now and at a later date. This procedure represents Option 2. Compare it with Option 1.

To deploy multiple languages now and at a later date (Option 2)

1. Perform tasks similar to those described in Installing and Deploying All Required Languages Once. In this case, it is assumed that you did not deploy all of the installed languages.
   • Install Siebel Business Applications software with all of the languages that you will deploy now and at a later date.
   • Install the latest Siebel Patchset release (where available) on all of the components in your Siebel CRM deployment.
   • When you configure each Siebel Server or Siebel Application Interface, optionally specify to deploy only a subset of the installed languages.
2. When you are ready to deploy additional installed languages, perform the following for each Siebel Server:
   1. Run the Siebel Management Console, as described in Starting the Siebel Management Console.
   2. Create a new Siebel Server profile or clone the existing profile.
   3. Delete the Siebel Server deployment item.
   4. Deploy the Siebel Server with the new profile, specifying all of the languages to deploy.
3. Perform the following for each Siebel Application Interface:
   1. Run the Siebel Management Console, as described in Starting the Siebel Management Console.
   2. Modify the existing Siebel Application Interface profile to add language support for the Siebel Application Interface.
   3. Specify the additional languages to deploy.
   4. Save the profile.
4. For each additional installed (nonprimary) language that you are deploying for the first time: add the language to the Siebel database and import the Siebel Repository. Also run the MLOV conversion utility (once).
