Testing Siebel Server Database Connectivity

(There are multiple ways of testing it -- this blog entry touches only one of them)

Assuming the RDBMS is up and running, first make sure the database client connects to the Siebel database instance from the command line interface. For example, if Oracle is the RDBMS, then:


Usually the above steps are good enough to test the database connectivity. However it is recommended to test the database connectivity using Siebel's odbcsql utility as well, just to make sure that there won't be any trouble for the Siebel servers in communicating with the database server.
  1. Set the required environment variables
    eg.,
    % source $SIEBEL_HOME/siebenv.sh (csh)
    % . $SIEBEL_HOME/siebenv.sh (ksh)

  2. Bring up the odbcsql command line interface (CLI), connect to the Oracle database instance using the table owner login/password

    eg.,
    % odbcsql
    ODBCSQL - ODBC SQL Interface program
    Copyright (c) 2001 Siebel Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Type help for usage information.

    ODBC> set source=siebsrvr_siebel

    ODBC> login oraperf/oraperf
    SQL DBMS: Oracle version 10.02.0000 Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
    ODBC driver: SEor821.so version 05.10.0017 (B0011, U0004)
    (login time: 0.73s)

    ODBC> quit
    Outstanding transaction committed.

    Alternatively it can be tested in a single line as shown below:
    % odbcsql /s siebsrvr_siebel /u oraperf /p oraperf
    ODBCSQL - ODBC SQL Interface program
    Copyright (c) 2001 Siebel Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Type help for usage information.

    Logging into "siebsrvr_siebel" as "oraperf" ...
    SQL DBMS: Oracle version 10.02.0000 Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
    ODBC driver: SEor821.so version 05.10.0017 (B0011, U0004)
    (login time: 0.67s)

    ODBC> quit
    Outstanding transaction committed.

If it fails to connect, double check the connect string specified during the installation of Siebel server.
