Installing Siebel on Windows 2000/2003

I have experienced some difficulties install Siebel on Windows platform, I started by trying the installation on Windows 2008 where I saw several articles confirm the supportability of this OS.

I all my trials has failed successfully :) the failure is because many reasons

The installation process itself is complicated (

1- Download Sources.

2- Extract Sources

3- Compiling the extracted sources into Executable

4- Installing the Siebel Components

5- Configure Siebel Components.

Actually, what makes the process complicated is not the number of the steps, the problem is it seems that the Java application used are not compatible with the latest OSs; although it works but if there is missing files, it never complains, it continue peacefully without telling you about it, and you stuck in other stages.

So, the best thing your can say here “if you start correctly, you will end successfully”, that’s the reason I am posting this, so start by 1st process and ensure it is successful by downloading the correct sources even though you have a limited connection and it may take days to download (19 GBytes for Siebel 8.0.0 and 13 Gbytes for Siebel 8.1.1).

 

So here is the list of files you (have to) download in case you want to have normal (not selective) deployment.

For Siebel 8.0.0 those are the files I have downloaded and lead to successful deployment.

HP uCMDB: Creating New CIs using Enrichment Rules

In this article, I have used one of the HP uCMDB features to create additional CIs based on the discovered data on certain CI

Scenario:

Operators want to display Operating System name as CI linked with Node CI

Steps:

1-Create New CIT for the Operating System

2-Create relation between Operating System CIT an d Node CIT

3- Create Correlation Rule

3a- in Query Mode adding your Searching criteria  TQL

3b- in Enrichment Mode add the CIT you want to create

3c- Add  Query Node Definition (How the new CI Attributes will be populated)

4- Create Scheduler task to run the Enrichment Rule

 

1-Create New CIT for the Operating System

Under Modeling > CI Type Manager right click the CIT tree and create a new CIT

I recommend to create the CIT under NodeElement CIT to inherit all the relations and configurations as all NodeElement child CITs

Note: Remove ABSTRACT_CLASS from Type Qualifiers to be able to create CIs

2-Create relation between Operating System CIT an d Node CIT

Select Node CIT and OS CIT and right click select Add/remove Relationship.

3- Create Correlation Rule

Move to Modeling > Enrichment manager and create new rule

3a- in Query Mode adding your Searching criteria  TQL

In Query mode

image

image

I will Edit the Query Node Properties and filter my TQL

I will select DiscoverOSName is Not Null to ensure that this will apply to only nodes that Has this attribute populated

image

 

 

3b- in Enrichment Mode add the CIT you want to create

Change the Operations to Enrichment Mode and add the operating System CIT, and Add the relation between Node CIT and Operating System CIT

 

image

3c- Add  Query Node Definition (How the new CI Attributes will be populated)

Fill the Operating System attributes as needed.

for Name attribute use the option By Attribute and select Node CIT and DiscoveredOsName

 

image

Note: You may create combination of Node attributes as a value by choosing Advanced

 

image

4- Create Scheduler task to run the Enrichment Rule

 

Go to Administration >  Scheduler

Create New Schedule

image

Add Run an Enrichment Rule

image

Select your schedule

image

Run the schedule

 

The Outcome will be like this, create a view to with Node and OS CITs to get the result.

HP uCMDB: Modeling: Grouping Node CIs by Operating System

Create New View or Modify the current view.

image

Add Node CIT

In the Hierarchy pane, right click Node CIT and select Add Group by Attribute

Select DiscoveredOSName as Group by

 

This is a preview on How it should look like.
