Siebel Server Parameters
This topic describes in detail the Siebel Server parameters listed in Siebel Enterprise, Server, and Component Parameters.
Auto Startup Mode (alias AutoStart). Indicates whether the Siebel Server components start automatically on Siebel Server startup. This parameter defaults to True, which indicates that the Siebel Server components are fully enabled and the default number of Siebel Server processes start when the Siebel Server system service starts (or the computer restarts). If Auto Startup Mode is set to False, then the Siebel Server components enter a shutdown state after the Siebel Server system service starts.
Communication Transport (alias Comm). The name of the transport type for network communications, for example, TCPIP.
Communication Type (alias CommType). The name of the communication type for network communications, for example, TLS or NONE. See also Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide and Siebel Security Guide.
Component Priority Level Timeout (alias CompPriorityTime). The amount of time to wait before starting lower-priority components. Components are prioritized as follows:
Components in the System Management component group have the highest priority. These components start first.
Components in the Auxiliary System Management component group start next.
Components in the remaining component groups have the lowest priority.
The Siebel Server starts components in the System Management component group and waits for the maximum number of seconds, specified by the Component Priority Level Timeout parameter, for these components to initialize. If, at the expiry of Component Priority Level Timeout, the components fail to initialize, then the Siebel Server attempts to start the components in the Auxiliary System Management component group. If the components in this component group fail to initialize before the expiry of Component Priority Level Timeout, then the Siebel Server attempts to start the lowest priority components.
Compression Type (alias Compress). The type of compression (NONE or ZLIB) for network communications sent internally between the Application Object Manager and the Siebel Application Interface. See also the information about configuring Siebel Application Interface profiles using Siebel Management Console and about the setting HTTP 1.1-Compliant Firewall / Enable Web Compression, in Siebel Installation Guide.
Encryption Type (alias Crypt). The type of encryption for network communications between Siebel modules such as Siebel Application Interface and the Application Object Manager. See also the information about configuring Siebel Server profiles using Siebel Management Console and about the setting Security Encryption Level or Type, in Siebel Installation Guide. As of Siebel CRM 19.6 Update, you can use Transport Layer Security (TLS) for Siebel Remote, and you cannot use RSA. If Crypt is set to RSA for the Synchronization Manager, then you must change this value to NONE. See the description of the CommType parameter and seeSiebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide. For more information about encryption, see Siebel Security Guide.
Host Name (alias Host). The name of the host computer on which the Siebel Server is installed. The value is set automatically during the initial configuration of the Siebel Server, but can be changed if you want to route connection requests through a network card bound to a different host name.
Log Archive Keep (alias LogArchive). The
number of log archive directories to keep in the logarchive directory. Each time the Siebel Server system service starts, the
current log subdirectory moves to the logarchive subdirectory, tagged with the incarnation number of the Siebel Server.
This parameter indicates the number of previous logarchive directories to retain. If this parameter is set to 0, then the current log subdirectory is not archived upon startup of the Siebel
Server system service. If this parameter is set to -1, then the Siebel
Server keeps logarchive subdirectories. After moving
the log directory, a new log directory
is created, inheriting the permissions from the parent siebsrvr directory.
Log Segment Size (alias LogSegmentSize). Determines how large a segment of the log file is, in 512 byte blocks. For example, if you set this parameter to 10, then the log segment will be 5 KB in size. A value of 0 turns off segmentation.
Log Maximum Segments (alias LogMaxSegments). Determines the number of log segments that are kept. If you set this parameter to 1, then only one segment is kept. When this segment reaches the size specified by the Log Segment Size parameter, the segment is overwritten. In general, set this parameter to a high value, such as 20. In this case, the twenty-first segment would overwrite the first segment, and so forth.
Server Description (alias ServerDesc). A description of the Siebel Server, used for identification in Siebel Server Manager views. The value of this parameter is prompted for during the initial configuration of the Siebel Server.
Server Shutdown Wait Time (alias ShutdownTime). The time to wait (in seconds) during a Siebel Server shutdown before killing component processes. When a Siebel Server is shut down (either from the Siebel Server Manager, when the Siebel Server system service is stopped, or when the computer is shut down or restarted), the currently running component tasks are notified. If the tasks do not shut down within the time specified by the Server Shutdown Wait Time parameter, then the Siebel Server kills the component processes directly and then finishes shutting down. The default value of this parameter is 60 seconds.
Siebel Root Directory (alias RootDir). The
root installation directory for the Siebel Server. Every Siebel Server
subdirectory is directly under this directory (such as admin, dbtempl, docking, log, logarchive, upgrade, and so on).
Do not change the value for this parameter.
Siebel Server Name (alias Server). The name of the Siebel Server. This parameter is specified during the initial configuration of the Siebel Server. The name of the Siebel Server cannot be changed after it is initially configured. The Siebel Server Name parameter can contain only alpha characters, numerals, underscores, or a combination thereof. Parameter names must also lead with an alpha character and can be no longer than 12 characters. For more information about the name of the Siebel Server, see Siebel Installation Guide.
Size of Error Buffer (alias ErrorBufferSize). The number of entries in the shared memory circular error buffer used by the Siebel Server. This buffer receives all level 0 and level 1 error messages.
Synchronization Port (alias SyncPort). The TCP/IP port number for the Synchronization Server component. The Mobile Web Clients that synchronize with this Siebel Server must be configured to connect to this port when initiating a synchronization session (in the DockConnString parameter of the client configuration file).
