Configuring the Siebel Enterprise

The Gateway Name Server is now operational. We can now start to create the definition of a new Siebel Enterprise that will later contain one or more Siebel Servers.

To start the configuration of the Siebel Enterprise, we launch the Configuration Wizard for the Siebel Enterprise again on the machine hosting the Gateway Name Server. We could have also kept the wizard open once the Gateway Name Server had been configured.

If we have not yet done so, we prepare to run the configuration wizard by executing the cfgenv.sh script from the Gateway Name Server's root directory. Then, we navigate to the bin directory and invoke the ssincfgw executable:

ssincfgw -args LANG=ENU MODE=LIVE MODEL_FILE=/u01/app/siebel/gtwysrvr/admin/enterprise_console_sia.scm

The following table conveys the details of the process of configuring a new Siebel Enterprise:
