Siebel server not starting after SADMIN password change.
After installing Siebel version 8.1.1. successfully on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 4.0 running against an Oracle 10g server database, changes to the Siebel Administrator account password for SADMIN caused the Siebel server startup to fail.Cause
The Siebel Server service definition also defines the SADMIN password and therefore must be changed accordingly.
Solution
Run the SIEBCTL utility to generate a new Siebel Server service definition file (.SVC) and apply the new SADMIN password into the SVC
1. Shutdown the Siebel server
2. Use Siebel Server Manager to change the SADMIN password at the enterprise level:
srvrmgr-> enterprise param Password=
3. Change the password in the database.
4. Change the password in the Siebel Service definition file (SVC) under ./siebsrvr/sys
* Backup the SVC file with the format svc.siebsrvr.siebel:
* Run the following command to recreate the SVC file with the new Siebel administrator password:
linux> siebctl -r ''$Siebsrvr'' -S siebsrvr -i enterprisename:siebsrvrname -a -g "-g GTW_HOST:gtwyport -e enterprisename -s siebsrvrname -u sadmin" -e newpassword -L ENU where:
''$Siebsrvr'' = the installation directory of the Siebel Server
siebsrvrname = the name of the Siebel Server
gtwyport = the port number of the Gateway Name Server
enterprisename = the name of your Siebel Enterprise
newpassword = the new Siebel administrator password (in plaintext). The siebctl utility encrypts the password.
5. Stop and restart the Siebel Gateway Name Server followed by the Siebel Server(s)
6. Connect to the Siebel Server Manager and verify the password change was successful
