About the Configuration Screen

You can perform activities in the Configuration screen in Siebel Management Console at any time after you complete the required profile configuration and deployment tasks for Siebel deployment elements. The Configuration screen includes views that allow you to configure the Siebel enterprise and its component Siebel Servers, server components, parameters, and so on. This topic is part of Configuring the Siebel Deployment.

The default view in the Configuration screen identifies the current Siebel enterprise. The navigation bar in the header area of each view is a breadcrumb control that lets you navigate within the hierarchical elements of the Siebel enterprise. As shown in the following, you can select Component Definitions, Component Groups, Servers (for configuring a Siebel Server), Profile Configuration (for configuring an enterprise profile), or Parameters (for configuring enterprise parameters). When you have selected one of these options, you can navigate further into the hierarchy, such as to configure parameters for a particular Siebel Server or one of its server components. You can navigate up or down the hierarchy using this navigation bar.

Icons in the header area of each view or panel (list or form type) indicate operations that can be performed for the selected element or subelement (for example, Siebel Server parameters), such as to create, delete, or edit an instance of the element, or to query for the element you need. The available options vary by the particular context of the operations you are performing in this screen.

The following figure shows the Configuration screen in Siebel Management Console. You can use this screen to perform configuration tasks for the Siebel Enterprise, Siebel Server, server components, and related areas. The navigation menu, shown in the side panel, provides access to the Configuration screen and to other functionality of Siebel Management Console.
