Defining the Regional Node

To define each regional node, you register the regional Siebel database and then add users for this database.

To define the regional node

  1. Make sure the requirements for the parent node are met.

    For more information, see Requirements for the Parent Node.

  2. Make sure the requirements for the organization, territory, and Assignment Manager are met.

    For more information, see Requirements for Organization, Territory and Assignment Manager.

  3. Log in to the Siebel Server with administrator privileges.

    For more information, see Logging in to the Siebel Database as an Administrator.

  4. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Remote screen, and then the Replication Servers view.

  5. In the Parent Server form, choose a node as the parent.

    The Parent Server form displays the registered databases and indicates whether the Siebel database resides on a headquarters or on a regional node. You typically choose the headquarters node. The Regional Databases list displays regional nodes that are children of a parent database that is currently chosen in the Parent Server form. Only the headquarters database or a regional database can be the parent of another database. A local database cannot be a parent.

  6. Right-click in the Regional Databases list, and then choose the Columns Displayed menu item.

  7. In the Columns Displayed dialog box, move Description from the Available Columns window to the Selected Columns window, and then click Save.

  8. In the Regional Databases list, click New.

  9. In the Server Name field, enter a name for the regional database.

    For example, you can enter SIEBEL_EUROPE. For more information, see Requirements for the Siebel Server Name and Local Database Names.

  10. In the Description field, type in a description of the regional database.

    For example, you can type in European Regional Database.

    2. In the Pick Routing Group dialog box, choose one of the following items:

    3. Click OK.
