Automatically Starting SES and SAI Components

Although the Siebel Enterprise Server and Siebel Application Interface components will start automatically after installation, they do not run automatically after a restart of the server. Before proceeding further, it is recommended that these be configured to start automatically. The specific method for doing this will vary by operating system. For example, on Windows, you could add the scripts to the Local Computer Startup Scripts Policy so that they will be run automatically every time the computer is restarted, while on UNIX, a shell script could be placed in /etc/init.d/.

The script to startup each component is named startup.bat (or startup.sh for UNIX) and is found in the ...\applicationcontainer\bin folder for each component, for example C:\Siebel\sai\applicationcontainer\bin\startup.bat.

After configuring the scripts to run automatically, restart the machine(s) before continuing to validate that automatic startup process is working, and then proceed to the configuration of your Siebel Database.
