ks

For IBM DB2 installations only, provide the name of the 16K Table space. For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide.

No

32K Table Space

ls

For IBM DB2 installations only, provide the name of the 32K Table space. For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide.

File System

filesystem

init

Specifies if the regional database is empty or not:

  • Y. Indicate the initialization of the Siebel Server of a regional node on a new database.

  • N. Indicate an upgrade of the existing regional database with a new database extract.

The default value is N.

An old transaction might be invalid for the new schema and can cause failure. You must set this parameter to Y during a major upgrade.

comm

Communication parameters for low-bandwidth connections.

No

No

ODBC Data Source

d

Name of ODBC data source to connect to the regional node.

Yes

Parent AppServer Name

dockconnstring

Name of the Siebel Server at the parent node where Siebel Remote does the Siebel database extract.

Yes

Regional Server Name

n

Name of the regional node.

Yes

Repository Name

reposname

Name of the repository, which is typically Siebel Repository.

Yes

Run in Parallel/Number of Threads

para

Specifies to run srvrinit in parallel. Specifies the number of threads to run.

No

Schema Qualifier

sq

For IBM DB2 for z/OS only, the name that the Srvrinit utility uses to qualify database objects it creates that the Siebel application requires.

Yes

Server Root Directory

homedir

Root folder of the Siebel Server on the Regional node. In this document, SIEBEL_ROOT is the root folder where you install the Siebel Server.

Yes

Table Grouping File

tg

For IBM DB2 for z/OS only. Full path to the storage control file, which is a file that contains declarations for database objects.

Yes

Table Owner Password/Privileged User Password

tp

For IBM DB2 for z/OS, this password is the same as the Privileged User Password, which is the password for Privileged User ID.

Yes

Table Owner/Privileged User ID

t

Logon of the Table Owner on the regional database. It must include privileges to create database objects.

For IBM DB2 for z/OS, this logon is the same as the Privileged User ID. This account is a user account that includes the necessary database authority and privileges to create, access, and modify Siebel database objects and native database objects and the operations that are required to implement the Siebel application. These environments include rigid controls on user identification. An account must correspond to a real person.

Yes

Table Space

ts

For IBM DB2 and Oracle Database installations only. Space on the regional database where tables are created.

No

User Name

u

User name to authenticate the regional database with the Siebel Server of the headquarters node. You can use a database user who is associated with the regional database during the setup, but this user must possess administrator privileges to create logins in the master database, such as SADMIN. For more information about headquarters nodes, see Overview of Siebel Replication Manager.
