Installing the Siebel Database Server Utilities

Any operation that has to be carried out against the Siebel database is done via the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. This utility along with other programs and files such as pre-built SQL scripts are installed using the Siebel Enterprise Server installer option Siebel Database Server Utilities.

As the Siebel Upgrade Wizard uses folders and files situated in the Siebel Server installation directory, it is necessary to install the Siebel Database Server Utilities on the same machine as the Siebel Server. The Installer shows a warning message when we attempt to install the Database Server Utilities into a root directory that does not include a Siebel Server installation.

The table below describes the steps that the InstallShield wizard guides us through when we install the Siebel Database Server utilities on Microsoft Windows-based operating systems.
