Server Administration
After components have been enabled and their parameters

have been defined, the following administration tasks are performed:


Monitor the system Change component parameters or component states, preferably without shutting down the server Back up the system after making these changes Submit batch jobs for processing
These tasks are done in the Administration Server

Reconfigure Component Definitions


Modifies component parameters without shutting down the

server(s)
Useful during site migrations or application updates Useful when changing multiple parameters and changes should all be performed at once For example, when changing both a user name and a password parameter, changing one at a time would lead to authentication issues
During reconfiguration:

Tasks started before and during reconfiguration continue to run with the old parameters Tasks started after the reconfiguration is committed run with the new parameters

Back Up the Enterprise


It is suggested to have a back up of the enterprise after

making any configuration changes such as modifying component parameters


Creates a backup copy of siebns.dat siebns.dat stores information about components, parameters, and servers May also be used for backup or migration purposes However, do not try to manually duplicate this file File is in use as long as Siebel Gateway Name Server is
running

Server Event Logging


Server events can be monitored by setting log levels Navigate to Administration - Server Configuration > Servers >

Server Event Configuration


Set the log level for each Siebel Server event of interest

Server Management

Log Levels
There are six available logging levels for server events: 0: Fatal 1: Errors 2: Warnings 3: Informational 4: Details 5: Diagnostic
Higher log levels generate larger log files which may affect system

performance, hence it is recommended practice to only use these levels when troubleshooting
