Deploying the Enterprise Profile
After successfully creating the Enterprise profile, deploy it as follows:
- Navigate the Siebel Management Console (SMC) to the Siebel Deployment Hierarchy and click the plus (+) icon to add an Enterprise to the deployment.
- Select the profile you created.
- 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.
- 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.
- Refresh the Siebel Deployment Hierarchy page until the Enterprise shows as fully deployed.
- 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
