Deploying the Siebel Server

This procedure describes the steps for deploying an installed instance of Siebel Server. You perform the same procedure for each installed instance of Siebel Server. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Server.

This task is required for new installations of the current release. It is not applicable for migration installations of Siebel Enterprise Server from a previous release, because the installation task migrates the prior configuration. However, you might choose to install and deploy a new Siebel Server.

Before you can deploy an installed instance of Siebel Server, you must have already configured the Siebel Enterprise, as described in Configuring the Siebel Enterprise.

NOTE:  After deployment, the Siebel Server profile is in a read-only state. If you need to update the configuration, then it is recommended to use Server Manager. Then refresh the configuration data displayed in Siebel Management Console.
