Requirements for Running the Regional Database Initialization Program

To initialize the regional database from the Siebel Server, you use the Regional Database Initialization (srvrinit) program. Srvrinit does the following work:

  • Connects to the parent Siebel Server, and then downloads the regional database extract for the regional node.

  • To initialize the database, it starts the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

Note the following requirements:

  • You must do this work on the Siebel Server on the regional node.

  • You must make sure that sufficient transaction space, known as the Rollback Segment, is available on the regional database. To determine if you must increase or modify the existing rollback segment, you can work with your database administrator.

  • You must make sure that the database user ID and password that you use to run srvrinit exists on the Siebel Server of the headquarters node and the regional node. Srvrinit only allows you to specify one set of credentials. It must use those credentials for these computers. If credentials on the two computers are different, then the process might not start, or it might fail before it finishes.
