One can easily install Siebel Tools and client on windows 10 and run it on Oracle XE with Sample database, however Siebel IP16 being a new release it has some quirks which are not very developer friendly.
Here are some problems that I get everytime:
1. All workflows by default are not valid :(
Workflow simulator will error out straight away even if there is nothing wrong with workflow. Validator might say workflow is not fully connected.
Workflow simulation on Windows 10 |
What's the fix? Just edit the workflow once and move around workflow steps. And then simulate again, this time it will work just fine.
2. Tools wont boot and authentication subsystem will reject your login.
An internal error has occurred within the authentication subsystem for the Siebel application. Please contact your system administrator for assistance.(SBL-DAT-00565)

Oracle XE is either crashed or booting up just give it few minutes have a coffee or something.
3. Dedicated client wont start
A system error occurred trying to start the command 'siebel.exe /c "C:\Siebel\16.0.0.0.0\Client\BIN\enu\scomm.cfg" /b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /u SADMIN /p SADMIN /d SAMPLE_XE /h'.(SBL-DEV-00127)
Cant start dedicated client. |
Just run tools as administrator and you will be fine.
Hope it helps.
My current setup includes: Windows 10, Siebel IP16, Oracle XE, Oracle Virtual Box containing : Windows 2008 Server which is hosting > MSSQL Server + IIS + Siebel Server IP16.
