Siebel Jobs

This subtype of the JOBS object defines Siebel-specific processing steps to be carried out in a target system. Like all other job objects (JOBS), Siebel jobs can run independently or they can be added to a group (JOBG) or to a workflow. For more information about the integration between the Automation Engine and Siebel, see AE and Siebel.

Defining Siebel Jobs

A Siebel Job definition is made up of the following pages:

Start Parameter Section

Gateway Server (Network Address) and Enterprise Server Name are mandatory fields.

Enter the require data or click the icon in the input field to select the appropriate variable.

Job Report Section

For information on the Job Report section, see Job Reports. For information on storing log files in the AE, see

Specifying Siebel Commands

Write your commands on the Process page of the Siebel job in AE. Use the SI_START_TASK script element with the CMD= parameter to issue the command:

SI_START_TASKCMD="Siebel command"

Write a SI_START_TASK script line for each task in Siebel. For more information, see SI_START_TASK.

Monitoring

Two log files are available after the execution of the task:

  • Log file of the Siebel Server Manager call
  • Log file of the task

The location where the log files are stored can be specified in the INI file of the Siebel agent. For setup instructions, see AE and Siebel.

Tip: You can use the Automation Engine scripting language to retrieve the report contents. For more information, see PREP_PROCESS_REPORT. Specify the report type LOG to retrieve the log file of the Siebel Server Manager call, and the report type REP for the log file of the task.
