ALL Interview Questions (FUJITSU,IBM,IPSOFT) ------------------------------------------------Questions answered -----------------1) What is the siebel web architecture? 2) What is remote in siebel?

how the architecture would works? 3) what is siebns.dat file? what is its significance? the siebns.dat file is used by your siebel gateway name server. It stores all informations about your enterprise configuration settings (Which c omponent has to be started on which server; how are the components configured; which siebel servers are in you r enterprise; and so on). So it is necessary for starting your gateway and your siebel servers. If you ar e reconfiguring your components in Server Administration an commit this configurations, the siebns.dat file is u pdated 4) Can we open and see the siebns.dat file? can we edit this file? Pls don't edit your Siebns.dat file manually. Use your Server Configuration Scre en to update it by enabling components and component definition as required 5) what is Repository migration? Repository migration is the process of converting the contents of the database from one format to another. 6) what is non-repository migration? 7) Is there any other way to take a backup of target repository instead of using DBConfiguration wizard? 8) what is .SPF ? This is the file that Siebel creates for every user who logs into the application with the naming convention "'UserId'&'SiebelApplicationName'.spf" and stored in "//Siebel_server/Web Client/Bin" directory. This file actually sto res the lot many information about the UI Changes that user can do on the UI. For Eg : 1. Increased/decreased HTML length of List Columns from the UI, that user might have changed according to his needs. 2. Order of the List Columns on the applet, in case user has changed any. 9) What us DDL sync? DDL- Data Definition Language ddl synch is used when Siebel repositories are migrated across different environ ments (for eg from dev to test to prod) and ddl synch ensures all logical changes in the Siebel Repository are carried over in the physical schema too (Oracle DB). Example: If a new column was created in dev environment and the repository is mi grated, it will not reflect in the physical schema directly without a ddl synch being ca rried out. 10) What is the port for gateway name server and SC Broker? Gateway Name Server TCP/IP Port : 2320

Siebel Connection Broker Port : 2321 11) what is the signicance of SC Broker? The Siebel Connection Broker (SCBroker) is a server component that provides intraserver load balancing. SCBroker distributes server requests across multiple instances of Application Object Managers (AOMs) running on a Sie bel Server. SCBroker listens on a configurable, static port for new requests. When a new request is received, it forwards the request to the AOM with the least number of running tasks. This creates a user session. Thereafter, SCBroker forwards requests that apply to this session directly to the AOM hosting the session 12) How do you increase LOG levels?Can we keep log level as 5 always? From the application-level menu, choose Navigation>Site Map>Administration - Ser ver Configuration. From the link bar, click Servers. In the Siebel Servers list, select the Siebel Server of interest. From the view tabs, click Events. In the Event Type list, select the Siebel Server Event Type of interest. In the Log Level field, type in the log level you want to set for this event typ e. Click the menu button and then Save Record. 0 Fatal 1 Errors 2 Warnings 3 Informational 4 Details 5 Diagnostic Log level changes takes into effect immediately & does not require a Siebel Server or component restart. Go to Administration - Server Config>Servers>Component-Events Tab Using Change Record functionality from Menu, go & change log level for few Events you want to trace 13) types of components? 14) ADSI or LDAP authentication mechanism? 15) How do you maintain visibility control in siebel ? 16) how will you approch if u get WEB PAGE CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED issue? The Web server instance is down. Virtual directories were not installed or configured properly. The Web server port is incorrectly specified in the eapps.cfg file. Siebel Server components or component groups may not be enabled. Solution: Check the following items, in sequence, to resolve the problem: Make sure the Web server instance is running. Refresh the connection between your browser and the Web site. Verify that the Web server port information in the eapps.cfg file is correct. Make sure the necessary Siebel Server components and component groups are enable d Make sure that the connect string for the Siebel application is correct.

The value resembles the following (where load balancing is not deployed): ConnectString = siebel.TCPIP.none.none://SiebelServerHost:2321/EnterpriseServerN ame/ProductNameObjMgr_language 17) What if the server is down? which issue will come? Validate that the .srf file is not corrupt by testing the srf on a dedicated en vironment. if the dedicated client is facing issues possibly 2 reasons must be there a.srf file is corrupt b.db itself is down Take the necessary action 18) What if the DB SERVER is down? which issue will come? 19) Tell me the possible reasons for getting server busy issue ? 20) If the gateway server file is corruputed what will happen to the already run ning user(user who is working wid the application)? NOthing happens to the existing user, it shows the error to the new users who ever want to login 21) Importance of gateway server? 22) What is d order of installation for siebel software(gateway,siebel,DBserver, SWSE,siebel client and Tools) ? 23) How to set up a local environment for a developer? 24) If some component is crashed or stopped? how do u trace whether wt is d issu e? 25) A user is able to see and access all the views faster but having a problem w ith the accounts view,which is getting loaded very slowly ..What is the problem ? and how will you trace the issue? 26) Have you faced any issues during services restart? 27) Which authentication you are using for your application? 28) What is Eapps.cfg? tell me its significanse? 29) what is a siebel repository? 30) Do u have mobile clients in your project? 31) Can we change the port numbers for either Gateway or SC Broker?

Questions not answered -----------------------------1) Wt is a state model and its significance? 2) wt is workflows and its significance? 3) .Shm file importnace? 4) what is performance tuning? 5) have u faced task id or process id missing issue during siebel services start up or shutdown? 6) What is your database size either dev or production since u r an administrato r? 7) If the gateway server crashed..what will happen to the user who is already us ing the application? 8) do u know siebel analytics? 9) What is ADSI? how it works ? 10) Within the application a user is able to navigate all d screens but in one s creen(Account) is taking long time to load? what is the problem? 11) where u write session time out? 12) login session time out & active session timeout? 13) server monitor tool?? tivoli team...foglight s/w???????
