Running the Database Configuration Wizard Under UNIX

This topic describes the standard procedure to follow to run the Database Configuration Wizard under UNIX.

To run the Database Configuration Wizard under UNIX

  1. Verify that the Siebel Server is stopped.

    The Database Configuration Wizard runs in live mode only so you must be connected to the Gateway Name Server to run it. For further information on Siebel Configuration Wizard running modes, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX.

  2. Navigate to the SIEBSRVR_ROOT directory, and source either the dbenv.sh or the dbenv.csh file, according to the type of shell you use:

    • Korn or Bourne shell

      . ./dbenv.sh
      
      Tip: Make sure there is a space between the initial period and ./dbenv.sh.
    • C shell

      source dbenv.csh
      
  3. Review the values of the $SIEBEL_ROOT and LANGUAGE environment variables and verify that they are correct. If necessary, reset the values as follows:

    • Set the LANGUAGE variable to the language in which the Database Configuration Wizard prompts appear, for example, enu for U.S. English.

    • Set the $SIEBEL_ROOT variable to the path of your Siebel Server installation directory, for example, home/siebel/sba8x/siebsrvr.

  4. Navigate to the config subdirectory of the SIEBEL_ROOT directory, for example, /siebel/sba8x/config.

  5. Start the Database Configuration Wizard by running the following command:

    install_path/config/config -mode dbsrvr
    

    In this path, install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel Enterprise Server software.

    For a description of the command line syntax and options, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX.

  6. When the first Database Configuration Wizard screen appears, enter the information you are prompted for in this screen, and click next to continue.

  7. Enter the information you are prompted for in all subsequent screens. Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate between screens.

  8. After you have entered all the requested information, the utility displays the Summary screen listing all the values you have entered.

  9. To amend any of the configuration values, click Back to return to the appropriate screen and make changes. Otherwise, click Next.

  10. You are prompted as to whether or not you want to execute the configuration:

    • Click Yes, and the configuration information is saved in a master_* file located in $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin but the Upgrade Wizard is not launched. To start the Upgrade Wizard, see Starting the Siebel Upgrade Wizard.

    • Click No, and the configuration information you entered is not saved.

  11. After configuration is complete, click Exit to exit the Configuration Wizard.
