Prerequisites

This section describes the software components you must install and the tasks you must perform before installing and running the connector.

Prerequisite software

Siebel client software must be installed on the same machine where the connector runs. However, there is a Borland VisiBroker (runtime) incompatibility issue that does not allow running the Siebel client software on the same machine as the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter software. This incompatibility can be addressed by removing the file %ProductDir%\bin\orb_r.dll. Note, however, that removing this file disables all the graphical tools on that machine's installation of IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter.

User setup

Before installing the connector, you must create a user account for the connector in Siebel. This user account should have full access privileges, and the login name should be the same as the ApplicationUserName configuration property. The default value for the user account login name and password is CWCONN.

Note:
Before you use the connector, you must verify the existence of a user account in the application. This user account must be the same as the user specified in the Siebel scripts for event creation in Siebel Tools.

Note:
The relevant connector message file needs to be copied to the ProductDir\connectors\messages directory from the ProductDir\connectors\messages\Siebel\COM directory.
