How can srvredit be used to delete a Siebel Server or Enterprise from the Gateway

How to delete a Siebel Server or Enterprise from the Gateway.

Solution
Installing multiple Siebel Enterprises in the same Siebel Gateway is not recommended, except in special circumstances. In the event that a Siebel Server or Siebel Enterprise needs to be removed, please follow the uninstall directions in Siebel Installation Guide for your application version.

Possible Causes
One reason to use the srvredit command to delete a Siebel Server or Enterprise definition from the Siebel Gateway Name Server is when the Siebel Server is uninstalled with the Enterprise Server still running, as the Siebel Server name will be still present in the siebns.dat file.

Troubleshoot
Each Siebel application version is listed below that has the syntax for deleting a server or enterprise from the Gateway. Please take a backup of the \admin directory and use caution when using these commands. The srvredit command can be found under the \bin directory and \bin directories.

After running the srvredit command to delete a Siebel Server or Enterprise Server you must restart the Siebel Gateway Name Server service for the changes to take effect.

Siebel version 8.0 (Windows and UNIX)
The srvredit command is no longer supported.

For Siebel Enterprise Server and Siebel Server components, the uninstallation wizard includes a step for removing configuration data for the products you are uninstalling:

_ When you uninstall a Siebel Server, the Siebel Configuration Wizard includes an option to remove an existing configuration which safely removes Siebel Server configuration data from the Gateway Name Server.

_ When you uninstall an entire Siebel Enterprise Server, the Siebel Configuration Wizard includes an option to remove a Siebel Enterprise Server configuration data from the Gateway Name Server.

Siebel version 7.x (Windows and Unix)
The srvredit command is no longer supported. However, customers may still find the following documentation references:

Siebel Bookshelf version 7.8 > Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools > Uninstalling Siebel Applications > Uninstalling Siebel Servers or the Siebel Enterprise, Using srvredit.

Siebel Bookshelf version 7.8 > Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools > Uninstalling Siebel Applications > Uninstalling Siebel Servers or the Siebel Enterprise, Using srvredit.

The recommended procedure is to completely uninstall and reinstall the Siebel environment. Customers may still use srvredit command at their own discretion, taking in consideration that any unexpected behaviors that may occur as a result from running srvredit cannot be supported.

Additionally for UNIX platforms, a Siebel Server can also be deleted by running the $SIEBEL_ROOT/bin/config_server script and selecting the ”Delete an existing Siebel Server” option. In the background, this script invokes the srvredit command.
