Header Section Parameters Generic to All EIM Processes
Header parameters are necessary at the beginning of the .IFB file. At a minimum, [Siebel Interface Manager] and PROCESS must be specified. Table 5 provides descriptions of header parameters.
Table 5. General Header Parameters for the EIM Configuration File
|
|
CONNECT |
The ODBC source name for connecting to the database server. |
LOG TRANSACTIONS TO FILE |
This parameter must be in the header section and the default value is TRUE. Transactions can be logged in a file or a table. By default, EIM logs transactions into files. Log files are saved in the file system's eim directory. If you do not want transactions to be logged in files, then setting this parameter to FALSE logs transactions to a table. NOTE: If this parameter is set to TRUE, you must make sure that the Siebel Server can write to the file system's eim directory. During installation, the file system directory must be specified using the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC). For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
|
PASSWORD |
The database password for the process to be run. This parameter is inherited for the EIM component from the Gateway Name Server, so it should already be set. However, you can specify this in the .IFB file if you are running EIM from the Siebel application (not the command line) and if you have not already set this value in the EIM Server Component parameters. NOTE: If you start EIM from the command line, it uses the username and password you used to log into the srvrmgr. If you start EIM from the Siebel application, EIM looks for the username and password in the EIM Server Component parameters first, and if they are not specified, EIM then looks in the .IFB file. If EIM cannot find the username and password in those places, EIM cannot log into the database and it fails. If you do not want your username and password visible in the .IFB file, then specify them in the EIM Server Component parameters.
|
PROCESS |
Identifies the specific process to run during this invocation of EIM. The named process must be defined in the process section of the .IFB file. |
[Siebel Interface Manager] |
Header section must use this reserved name. |
TABLEOWNER |
The database logon name that owns the tables to be operated on; used as the prefix for table names; defined during installation. |
USERNAME |
The database/employee logon name for the process to be run. This parameter is inherited for the EIM component from the Gateway Name Server, so it should already be set. However, you can specify this in the .IFB file if you are running EIM from the Siebel application (not the command line), and if you have not already set this value in the EIM Server Component parameters. NOTE: If you start EIM from the command line, it uses the username and password you used to log into the srvrmgr. If you start EIM from the Siebel application, EIM looks for the username and password in the EIM Server Component parameters first, and if they are not specified, EIM then looks in the .IFB file. If EIM cannot find the username and password in those places, EIM cannot log into the database and it fails. If you do not want your username and password visible in the .IFB file, then specify them in the EIM Server Component parameters.
