Deploying the Siebel Application Interface

This procedure describes the steps for deploying a specific installed instance. You perform the same procedure for each installed instance of Siebel Application Interface. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Application Interface.

This task is required both for new installations and for migration installations from a previous release, because the migration installation task does not migrate the prior configuration. You might also choose to install and deploy a new Siebel Application Interface.

Before you can deploy an installed instance of Siebel Application Interface, you must have already configured and deployed at least one Siebel Server, as described in Configuring the Siebel Server.

NOTE:  After deployment, the Siebel Application Interface profile is in a read-write state. You can update configuration settings and save the profile to propagate the updates to the Siebel Application Interface.
