Deploying the Siebel Enterprise

This procedure describes the steps for deploying Siebel Enterprise. You can deploy only one instance of Siebel Enterprise in your Siebel deployment. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Enterprise.

This task is required for new installations. It is not applicable for migration installations of Siebel Enterprise Server from a previous release, because the migration installation task migrates the prior configuration.

Before you can deploy the Siebel Enterprise, you must have already configured the Siebel Gateway, as described in Configuring the Siebel Gateway and Security.

NOTE:  After deployment, the Siebel Enterprise 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.
