Deploying the Enterprise Profile

After successfully creating the Enterprise profile, deploy it as follows:

  1. Navigate the Siebel Management Console (SMC) to the Siebel Deployment Hierarchy and click the plus (+) icon to add an Enterprise to the deployment.
  2. Select the profile you created.
  3. Assign a name to the Enterprise.
    A profile is a template, and the name provided here is only a named instance of that profile. The name of the Enterprise can be any alphanumeric string, but should be meaningful and easily identifiable, such as Development, or Test.
  4. Select Deploy.
    If you select Stage, then nothing will be deployed.
    When you submit the request, the SMC does the following:
    • Creates the Siebel File System.

    • Creates an ODBC source named {EnterpriseName}_DSN. This is used to communicate with the database, for example, Siebel_DSN.

  5. Refresh the Siebel Deployment Hierarchy page until the Enterprise shows as fully deployed.
  6. Verify that the File System and ODBC source were created:
    • Siebel File System. You can verify that this was successful by inspecting the folder specified during the creation of the Profile. The Profile will show a set of folders that will be eventually used by the Siebel File System Manager.
    • ODBC Source. For Windows operating systems, validate that the ODBC source was created under the 32-bit ODBC Control Panel. For UNIX, check the contents of the .odbc.ini file in:

      /SIEBEL_HOME/ses/siebsrvr/sys

      For example:

      [ENT1_DSN]
      Driver=/siebel/ses/siebsrvr/lib/SEor827.so
      ColumnSizeAsCharacter=1
      ColumnsAsChar=1
      ArraySize=160000
      ServerName=SIEBELDB
