Requirements for Installing and Configuring the Siebel Gateway

This topic is part of Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Modules.

Review this topic before installing and configuring the Siebel Gateway. See also General Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Modules.

• Install the Siebel Gateway at least once for each Siebel Enterprise. If necessary, multiple Siebel Enterprises can be supported by a single Siebel Gateway. In general, installing multiple instances of the same version of Siebel Gateway on the same computer is not recommended.

  For more information, see Planning to Install Multiple Instances of Siebel CRM. See also 477770.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support. This document was previously published as Siebel Technical Note 531.

• Optionally install multiple instances of Siebel Gateway on different nodes in order to configure and deploy clustering. For more information, see Configuring the Siebel Gateway Cluster.
• The default port number for Siebel Gateway is 2320. If necessary, you can select any port number (32767 or lower) that is free on the computer where the Siebel Gateway is running. Do not use port number 2321, which is the default port number for the SCBroker (Siebel Connection Broker) component, or any other port that is already in use on the server. To confirm that a port (such as 2320) is free, use a command like netstat -a | grep 2320.
