Running the Generate New Database Server Component

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Siebel Server.

This topic includes the following information:

• Creating a New Database for Siebel Remote

• Distributing Database Templates to Siebel Servers

• Using a Character Datatype with an Extension Column

A database template is a database that contains no user data but does contain the structure that Siebel Remote requires for use with a Siebel application. You run the Generate New Database (alias GenNewDb) server component to create a new database template. If you modify the server database schema, then you must create a new database template. The following are examples of modifying the server database schema:

• You install the Siebel database

• You upgrade to a new version of a Siebel application

• Use Siebel Tools to extend the server database schema, except if you use Oracle’s Siebel Anywhere to deliver a database schema upgrade kit. An extension can include extension tables, extension columns, or extension indexes. For more information, see Using a Character Datatype with an Extension Column.
