About Configuring the Siebel Server and Its Components

Before starting the Siebel Server, you might want to modify how it has been configured. You must enable component groups on the Siebel Server. This topic describes some of the configuration-related tasks that you must perform to maintain or administer your Siebel CRM installation.

For more information about configuring Siebel Servers and server components by using the Server Manager GUI, see Chapter 4, "Configuring Siebel Servers." For more information about configuring Siebel Servers and server components by using the Server Manager command-line interface, see Chapter 7, "Using the Siebel Server Manager Command-Line Interface."

Note: The instructions in this chapter assume that you have successfully installed and initially configured the Siebel Gateway, the Siebel Enterprise, and at least one Siebel Server. For more information about performing configuration tasks by using the Siebel Management Console, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

Before starting the Siebel Server, you might want to add site-specific parameter values or overrides of existing values by using the Server Manager GUI.

You can configure a Siebel Server by modifying the parameters at the Siebel Server, component, or task level for the given Siebel Server. Changes to parameters at the Siebel Server level are inherited at the component and task levels. Changes to parameters at the component level are inherited at the task level. You can also modify parameters at the Siebel Enterprise Server level. Siebel Servers, components, or tasks within the Siebel Enterprise Server inherit the values for modified parameters unless you have explicitly modified (overridden) these parameters at these levels (Siebel Server, component, or task level). For more information, see "About Siebel System Parameters".

For information about configuration tasks using Siebel Management Console, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
