1 End all client sessions and shut down the Siebel Server. Use the following command to shut down

the server:

SIEBSRVR_ROOT/bin/stop_server all

NOTE: In order to stop all Siebel Servers in the Siebel Enterprise, you must run this command

on all Siebel Server machines.

2 Use Server Manager to change the password in the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

srvrmgr -g SiebelGatewayName -e EnterpriseServerName -u UserName -p Password

b At the Server Manager prompt, enter the following command:

change enterprise param Password=NewPassword

3 Change the password in the database.

For more information, refer to your RDBMS documentation on changing passwords.

4 Stop and restart the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

$SIEBEL_ROOT/SiebelGatewayName/bin/stop_ns

$SIEBEL_ROOT/SiebelGatewayName/bin/start_ns

5 Restart all Siebel Servers. Perform this step for each applicable Siebel Server.

$SIEBEL_ROOT/ServerName/bin/start_server all

6 Connect to the Server Manager and verify the password change:

srvrmgr -g SiebelGatewayName -e EnterpriseServerName -s SiebelServerName -u SADMIN

-p NewPassword

You should be able to log in as SADMIN with the new password.

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


 

While uncompressing the following file, I received below errors.

$ tar -xzf OVM_EL5U3_X86_ORACLE10G_SIEBEL8006ENU_SIA_PVM.tgz.1of2


 

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


 


 

Solution:

I fixed the issue with uncompressing both the files altogether, doing them separately was causing the error.
