Creating a Siebel Installation Image

This topic describes how to create the Siebel image from which installations will be performed.

To create a Siebel installation image

1. Download the ZIP files that you require for the current release of Siebel CRM. Download these ZIP files into a single empty directory in which you will store these ZIP files. For example, for Siebel CRM 22.7, you might create a directory named like one of the following:

   (Windows) C:\Siebel_media_22.x\Siebel_ZIP_22.7 
   (UNIX) /Siebel_media_22.x/Siebel_ZIP_22.7

   Note: Determining the Locations for the Siebel Media Files and the Siebel Image describes a scheme for creating creating directories to contain the ZIP files and the Siebel installation image files.

2. For each operating system and Siebel CRM release, create a designated directory to serve as the Siebel image location on that platform. For example, for Siebel CRM 22.7, you might create a directory named like one of the following:

   (Windows) C:\Siebel_media_22.x\Siebel_image_22.7 
   (UNIX) /Siebel_media_22.x/Siebel_image_22.7

   Note: Determining the Locations for the Siebel Media Files and the Siebel Image describes a scheme for creating directories to contain the ZIP files and the Siebel installation image files.

3. Copy all applicable ZIP files into the image directory that you created in Step 2: those that are specific to that operating system or that apply to all operating systems.

   Note: Do not combine files for different operating systems in the same directory.

4. Extract the contents of the ZIP files in this directory. Use “extract here” or the equivalent to yield the Siebel CRM image.

   Note: If you are prompted about overwriting existing files or directories when extracting content from multiple ZIP files after the first one, then you must allow the overwrites.

   The Siebel image is created in the directory you created in Step 2. You will run the Siebel CRM installer from the Disk1\Install subdirectory.
