Installing

Installing Siebel Collectors on a server enables you to sample Siebel instances on the server. A Siebel Tier Collector can be installed on all servers.

Before installing a Siebel Tier Collector with the Precise CLI utility, verify the following issues:

• The Precise for Oracle FocalPoint and Precise for Oracle Collector instance or Precise for SQL Server FocalPoint and Precise for SQL Collector instance are installed and running.
• The Precise Listener on the target server on which the Insight Savvy for Siebel Collector is to be installed was installed.

To install Interpoint for Siebel

1. Create the Interpoint for Siebel parameter file and save it to the <precise_root> folder on the main Precise FocalPoint. You can also set up this file in advance. For more information, see About the Interpoint for Siebel parameter file.
2. Run the following command from the <precise_root> folder on the main Precise FocalPoint to execute the Precise CLI utility installation script.
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                       -i3-user <user_name>
                      {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                       -action setup
                       -parametersfile <interpoint_for_siebel_installation_parameters_file_name>
   UNIX           ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                      {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                      -action setup
                      -parametersfile <interpoint_for_siebel_installation_parameters_file_name>

...

You need to prepare the Interpoint for Siebel parameter file by creating an XML file with elements that represent the installation parameters and inserting the appropriate values.

The following is an example of an Interpoint for Siebel parameters file:

<parameters>
     <parameter name="setup-process" value="apptier-SB"/>
     <parameter name="setup-mode" value="install"/>
     <parameter name="collector-server-machine-name" value="srv1"/>
     <parameter name="instance-name" value="EnDev"/>
     <parameter name="siebel-database-server-name" value="dbsrv2"/>
     <parameter name="siebel-database-instance-name" value="SBLDB"/>
     <parameter name="siebel-gateway-server" value="srv2"/>
     <parameter name="siebel-path" value="d:\sea752\siebsrv"/>
     <parameter name="siebel-user" value="sadmin"/>
     <parameter name="siebel-encrypted-password" value="ICLFAHMGHKEAII"/>
</parameters>

The following table describes the updated elements of the parameter file. Element names marked with an asterisk (*) can be updated after installation.

Table 25 Elements of the Interpoint for Siebel parameter file

Installing Precise for vCenter Server with the Precise CLI utility

...

The parameters file is an XML file containing a list of parameters for a Precise for vCenter Server installation.

Table 26 Elements 25 Elements of the Precise for vCenter Server parameter file

...

The output will be done to an XML parameters file which is created by the CLI.

Table 27 Elements 26 Elements of the Extricate command parameters file

...

1. From the <precise_root> folder on the main Precise FocalPoint, run the following query command to retrieve the instance ID:
   Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                       -i3-user <user_name>
                       {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                       -action get-instance-id
                       -technology <technology_code>
                      -instance <instance_name>
                      -server <server_name>
   UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                     -i3-user <user_name>
                     {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                     -action get-instance-id
                     -technology <technology_code>
                     -instance <instance_name>
                     -server <server_name>
   Table 28 Elements 27 Elements of the Retrieve instance ID query command

   Element	Description
   i3-user	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   i3-encrypted-password	See Authenticate to CLI Utility.
   action	always get-instance-id Mandatory: Yes
   technology	Values: Technology code. For more information, see Technology Codes. Mandatory: Yes
   instance	The instance name. Values: String Mandatory: Yes
   server	The instance server name. Values: String Mandatory: Yes

2. If there are several instances with the same name, the CLI utility will provide the latest instance ID in the output. A non-deleted instance will appear as installed.
3. Create CLI parameters file to install the new instance. Add the recovered-instance-id parameter to the parameters file with the instance ID that was detected and run the CLI to install the new instance. For more information, see Installing a Tier with the Precise CLI utility.
