To create a Siebel Server profile

  1. Run the Siebel Management Console, as described in Starting the Siebel Management Console.
  2. Click Profiles in the navigation menu in the left panel, then click Siebel Server.

    Existing Siebel Server profiles are listed, if any.

  3. Click the plus sign (+) at the top of the overview section to add a new Siebel Server profile, or click the Clone button to clone an existing profile.
  4. Specify a name for the profile.
  5. Specify additional settings, as shown in Table 14.
  6. When you have specified all applicable settings, click Submit to save your changes to the profile.

Configuration Settings for a Siebel Server Profile

Table 14 describes the settings that are requested in the Siebel Management Console for configuring a new Siebel Server profile or modifying an existing Siebel Server 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 for and restrictions on some of these parameters, see Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Modules. Parameters that are set as a result of configuring the Siebel Server are set at the Siebel Server level.

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