Requirements for Installing the Siebel Server on the Regional Node

Note the following requirements for installing a Siebel Server on the regional node:

  • Each regional node must contain at least one Siebel Server that synchronizes the regional node with the parent node. This Siebel Server might also support users. Your implementation might require more Siebel Servers, depending on the number of users and applications.

  • The Siebel Server on the regional node can be at the same version and installed on the same operating system as the parent server. For example, if you run the headquarters node on Windows 2016, then the regional node can use Windows 2016.

  • In a heterogeneous server environment, the Siebel Server and the Siebel database that you install on the regional node can be deployed to a different operating system. The version and patching level of the Siebel database that you install on the regional node must be the same as the version and patching level of the Siebel database that you install on the headquarters node.

  • The Siebel databases on the headquarters node and the regional node must use the same RDBMS. For example, if the RDBMS in the headquarters node is Oracle Database, then the RDBMS on the regional node must also be Oracle Database.

  • The regional database can be on the same computer or on a separate computer in the same regional location, according to the following requirements:

    • The number of users

    • The number of connected Siebel Web Clients

    • Database sizing requirements

    • Computer performance requirements

  • It is recommended that you set the NLS_LANG environment variable to the same value for the headquarters node and for the regional nodes. This configuration makes sure that the language environments of the Siebel database and the client application are the same. The NLS_LANG variable sets the language and territory environment that the server session uses and the client application. The language and territory sections of the NLS_LANG variable determine the default values for other parameters, such as date format, numeric characters, and linguistic sorting.
