Configuration Settings for a Siebel Enterprise Profile

Table 6 describes the settings that are requested in the Siebel Management Console for configuring a new Siebel Enterprise profile or modifying an existing Siebel Enterprise profile. Required fields display an asterisk (*) next to the field label. For most of the options, pointing to the option displays tooltip text that provides a brief description of the field.

For requirements and restrictions for some of these parameters, see Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Components. Parameters that are set as a result of configuring the Siebel Enterprise are set at the Siebel Enterprise level or set for named subsystems such as for a data source or security adapter.

NOTE:  After you have already configured the Siebel Enterprise, you can modify its configuration using Siebel Server Manager, as described in Siebel System Administration Guide.
