You can do it manually, of course. That's the way people is doing for years already. Just go through the documentation, plan and execute all the search-and-edit steps (although you actually don't have actually to think too much after the planning phase since those tasks are quite repetitive).
Or, you can jump the traditional last steps by:
- Installing Siebel::Lbconfig (available in your nearest CPAN mirror)
- Reading how to create a INI file.
- Execute in your shell:
lbconfig -e </my/directory/to/eapps*.cfg> -p <SCBroker port number> -c <my INI file>
The lbconfig program will connect to your Siebel Enterprise (using the information provided in the INI file) and create a lbconfig.txt in your current directory, with all required configuration to use the native Siebel Load Balancer. And, in the directory defined with the -e parameter, you're have the all the eapps*.cfg files copied and updated with the definitions from lbconfig.txt file (they will have a ".new" extension added).
Before you get too excited, I cheated a bit about the whole process because you're going to have install first the Siebel::Srvrmgr Perl distribution (also available in your nearest CPAN mirror). But you already have it, haven't you? :-)
Just kidding, be sure to use the last release of Siebel::Srvrmgr (0.27), some important updates were made over there, specially to allow Siebel::Lbconfig do it's stuff:
- Support the Siebel components' start mode column from the "list comp" command output.
- Support the Siebel Server Id from the "list server" command output.
Since this is the first release of Siebel::Lbconfig, I wouldn't be much surprised if there is a bug or two, even though there are unit tests in place (actually this is my first run with TDD and Perl). Be careful and please let me know if you find something wrong.
