Requirements for Connectivity with the Siebel Gateway

You must install and make sure the Siebel Gateway is running before you install the regional node. The Siebel Gateway includes a persistent store that includes configuration parameters and run-time information. Each Siebel Server accesses the Siebel Gateway at start up and periodically while the Siebel Server runs. A reliable network connection to the Siebel Gateway must exist. It is strongly recommended that you install a Siebel Gateway that is local to your regional node.
