Editing the SWSE Configuration File (eapps.cfg)

This topic is part of Postinstallation Tasks for the SWSE and the Web Server.

The SWSE configuration process updates the eapps.cfg file in SWSE_ROOT/bin. The same file is used for all applications. (Additional files, such as eapps_sia.cfg, may also be used.)

The eapps.cfg file contains configuration information that you entered during the configuration of the SWSE, including identity and connectivity information for the Application Object Managers, and login and security settings.

You can modify settings in the eapps.cfg file by re-creating and reapplying the SWSE logical profile, or in some cases just reapplying the SWSE logical profile. For more information, see Configuring the SWSE.

Alternatively, you can add or modify selected optional parameters manually to affect all Siebel applications, or selected applications. For example, you might do this to tune the performance of Siebel applications.

For detailed information about the structure and parameters of the eapps.cfg file, see Siebel System Administration Guide. See also Siebel Security Guide.

To edit the eapps.cfg file

1. Open the eapps.cfg file, located in SWSE_ROOT/bin, using a text editor of your choice.
2. Make the desired changes. Save and close the file.
3. Stop and restart the following:
   • Stop the Web server.
   • Start the Web server.

     See also the information about starting and stopping the Web server in Requirements for SWSE Installation and Configuration.

For information about security and authentication parameters in the eapps.cfg file, see Siebel Security Guide.
