Preparing to run the Software Configuration Wizard

Before we launch the ssincfgw executable, we must set library paths in order for the wizard to execute correctly. The commands to set the paths are provided by Oracle in shell scripts such as cfgenv.sh (for Bourne shell).

At the command line, we navigate to the root folder of the software we want to configure (for example /u01/app/siebel/gtwysrvr) and execute the shell script.

. ./cfgenv.sh

Note that this is the syntax for Bourne shell. We must ensure that there is a space between the dots in order to avoid the script being eventually executed in a different shell.

The script sets the following environment variables:

• PATH (appends the bin directory of the Siebel software)
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH (appends the lib directory of the Siebel software)
• CLASSPATH (set to the setup.jar in the bin directory of the Siebel software)

The following screenshot shows the preconfigured cfgenv.sh script, which has to be executed before we launch the Siebel Configuration Wizard:
