About the Server Manager GUI

The Siebel Server Manager graphical user interface (GUI) consists of the views in the following server administration screens, which are available from the application Site Map:

Administration - Server Configuration
Administration - Server Management
Server Jobs

Note: The Siebel Server Manager GUI screens allow you to use only the query operator LIKE.

In general, use the Siebel Server Manager GUI to perform most administrative tasks, because it provides a more intuitive view into the operation of Siebel Servers than does the command-line interface.

Note: By default, the Siebel Server Manager GUI is available on every Siebel client, and is accessible to users with Siebel administrator responsibility. This feature allows Siebel administrators to perform administration tasks from any client on the network. Therefore, it is important to grant the Siebel administrator responsibility only to designated Siebel administrators.

As of Siebel CRM 18.7 Update, Siebel system administrators can configure server elements in the Siebel CRM deployment by using the Configuration screen in the Siebel Management Console. Administrators can perform tasks here that are equivalent to some of the tasks that you traditionally perform in the Administration - Server Configuration screen in the Siebel application or using the Server Manager command-line utility. The new functionality is provided as an alternative to the traditional methods. For more information, see Siebel Installation Guide.
