About the Sample Database support module

The following screenshot shows the feature options for the Siebel Database Configuration Utilities that we select in step 7 of the above process:

The feature options include:

• Sample seed files (Sample Database support)
• Scripts and utilities for Microsoft SQL Server databases
• Scripts and utilities for Oracle databases
• Scripts and utilities for IBM DB2 databases on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and UNIX-based operating systems
• Scripts and utilities for IBM DB2 databases on the IBM z/OS operating system

If we select the Sample Database support option, we ensure that a directory named FILES will be created in the database server utilities installation folder (dbsrvr). Despite the name Sample Database support, this option has nothing to do with the Siebel Sample Database, which can be installed with the Siebel Mobile Web Client. The FILES directory contains files that support the sample sales literature, images, and communication templates for use by administrators and end users of the Siebel CRM applications.

We will have to copy these files to the real Siebel File System to complete the Siebel Enterprise Configuration. This step will be discussed in the next chapter.
