As we learned in the previous chapter, not only is a web server such as Microsoft IIS necessary, we must also install the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) on this machine. The SWSE serves as a plug-in to the web server and forwards the URL requests from clients or external systems to the appropriate processes on the Siebel Servers.
The SWSE installer resides in its own installation image and must be run on any machine that should later serve as a Siebel web server.
The InstallShield setup executable is located in the Siebel_Web_Server_Extension
folder of the Siebel installation image. On Microsoft Windows operating systems, we can simply double-click the setup.exe
file to invoke the installer.
The table below illustrates the process of installing the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) on a Microsoft Windows-based operating system that has the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) installed and configured.
