Managing the Siebel Deployment

As of Siebel CRM 18.12 Update, system administrators can manage server modules in the Siebel CRM deployment by using the Management screen in the Siebel Management Console. Administrators can perform activities here that are equivalent to some of the activities that you traditionally perform in the Administration - Server Management screen in the Siebel application or using the Server Manager command-line utility. The new functionality is provided as an alternative to the traditional methods.

The Management screen in the Siebel Management Console supports a subset of the functionality from the Administration - Server Management screen.

Siebel System Administration Guide describes the existing server management functionality and includes information about relevant management settings and operations, some of which also apply to what you can do in the Siebel Management Console.

About the Management Screen

You can perform activities in the Management screen in Siebel Management Console at any time after you complete the required profile configuration and deployment tasks for Siebel deployment elements. The Management screen includes views that allow you to manage the Siebel Servers, server components, sessions, and tasks in your Siebel deployment.

The default view in the Management screen identifies the current Siebel enterprise. The navigation bar at the top of each view is a breadcrumb control that lets you navigate within the hierarchical elements of the Siebel enterprise. You can select Servers, Components, Sessions, or Tasks. When you have selected one of these options, you can navigate further into the hierarchy, such as to manage components for a particular Siebel Server, manage tasks for a particular component, and so on. You can navigate up or down the hierarchy using this navigation bar.

Figure 8 shows the Management screen in Siebel Management Console. The navigation menu is shown at left, which provides access to the Management screen and to other functionality of Siebel Management Console.
