Siebel CRM Desktop uses these files in the following ways:
The following items describe how Siebel CRM Desktop uses metadata files with a customization package:
For more information, see About Files in the Customization Package. How Siebel CRM Desktop Reuses, Modifies, and Updates Metadata FilesSiebel CRM Desktop associates each customization package with a collection of metadata files, and it can associate each metadata file with more than one customization package. After Siebel CRM Desktop associates a metadata file with an active deployment package, you cannot modify the metadata file. To create a new metadata file, you can export, modify, and then reimport the metadata file. Even though multiple customization packages can reference the same metadata files, it is typical for one or more metadata files that different customization packages use to contain different information. For example, the Microsoft Outlook Sales Representative responsibility is different and separate from the Microsoft Outlook Sales Manager responsibility. Although you can use an existing responsibility and associate it with a customization package, it is recommended that you create a new responsibility. This technique provides you with more control over which users Siebel CRM Desktop associates with which customization package. For more information, see Republishing a Customization Package. |
