Siebel Client Shortcuts


The Siebel client and Sample Database installers create shortcuts in the Siebel program folder for the modules you have installed. For Siebel applications, separate shortcuts are installed for each installed language. Which shortcuts are installed depends on your installation choices and is also subject to the settings in the siebel.ini file. Most shortcuts are installed in the program group; some are installed in the start-up group.

For information about customizing the shortcuts, see Siebel Client Start-Up Options.

Siebel application shortcuts installed by the client installer are listed here. When you run a shortcut to start a Siebel application, you can connect to the Siebel Database (for LAN-connected users of the Siebel Developer Web Client), to an initialized local database on the local machine (for Mobile Web Client), or to the Sample Database on the local machine (if it has been installed). The Demo application shortcuts connect to the Sample Database using predefined demonstration users.

Each application shortcut loads the Siebel configuration file for that application—for example, Siebel Call Center uses the file uagent.cfg.

    NOTE:  The Siebel QuickStart shortcut is not installed by default. To install it, specify QuickStart = YES in the [Icons] section of the siebel.ini file. The shortcut is created according to the settings in the [QuickStart] section of the file. The shortcut is installed in the start-up group when Folder = startup. The shortcut must be located in the start-up group to function correctly.
