Configuration Settings for a Siebel Enterprise Profile

The following table describes the settings that are requested in the Siebel Management Console for configuring a new Siebel Enterprise profile or modifying an existing Siebel Enterprise 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. This topic is part of Configuring the Siebel Enterprise.

For requirements and restrictions for some of these parameters, see Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Enterprise Components. Parameters that are set as a result of configuring the Siebel Enterprise are set at the Siebel Enterprise level or set for named subsystems such as for a data source or security adapter.
