Roadmap for Setting Up Siebel Hospitality
Use this chapter in combination with Siebel Applications Administration Guide, Siebel Product Administration Guide, and Siebel Pricing Administration Guide.
Siebel Applications Administration Guide covers the setup tasks that are common to all of Oracle’s Siebel Business Applications, such as using license keys, defining employees, and defining the structure of your company. The guide also provides the information that you must have to perform data administration and document administration tasks.
Some tasks discussed in this chapter replace the corresponding tasks in Siebel Applications Administration Guide, whereas others are additional tasks. Make sure you review the following table in this topic before following the procedures in Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
This chapter assumes that you have already performed the following operations:
Installed or completed the upgrade of Siebel Hospitality, and created the Siebel Administrator account that is used to perform the tasks described in this guide. For more information, see Siebel Installation Guide. If you are upgrading, see Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
Completed general Siebel application setup procedures, such as adding employees, assigning positions and responsibilities, setting visibility rules, and so on. For more information about the user authentication environment and how visibility works, see Siebel Security Guide.
