Siebel Client Start-Up Options
The application shortcuts described in Siebel Client Shortcuts run an executable program called siebel.exe, followed by various start-up options. For example, the shortcut for Siebel Call Center - ENU may be defined as shown in the following example (depending on your installation location). For this example, the only option used is /c, to specify the configuration file. "C:\Program Files\Siebel\8.0\web client\BIN\siebel.exe" /c CFG_FILE_PATH\uagent.cfg
The Demo application shortcuts also specify the Sample Database and user and password information. For example, the shortcut for Siebel Call Center Demo - ENU may be defined as shown in the following: "C:\Program Files\Siebel\8.0\web client\BIN\siebel.exe" /c CFG_FILE_PATH\uagent.cfg /d sample /u CCHENG /p CCHENG
In the preceding examples, CFG_FILE_PATH represents the full path to the configuration file, using the MS-DOS "8.3" file-naming convention. This file is located in BIN\LANGUAGE in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT directory, such as BIN\ENU for U.S. English. For example, the actual target definition for the Siebel Call Center - ENU shortcut may resemble the following example: "C:\Program Files\Siebel\8.0\web client\BIN\siebel.exe" /c "C:\PROGRA~1\SIEBEL~1\8.0\WEBCLI~1\bin\ENU\uagent.cfg"
The siebel.exe program may also be run from an MS-DOS window. In this case, the start-up options may be entered directly on the command line. For information about creating custom shortcuts, see Creating Custom Siebel Application Shortcuts. The available start-up options are described in Table 17.

|
|
/c config_file
|
Required. Specifies the path and file name for the configuration file to use, such as siebel.cfg for Siebel Sales or uagent.cfg for Siebel Call Center. |
/d data_source
|
Specifies the data source to connect to, as defined in the configuration file. The Demo shortcuts specify "/d sample" to access the Sample Database.
- If you do not use /u and /p to specify a valid Siebel user, and do not use /d to specify a valid data source, then you can specify the data source from the login screen.
- If you use /u and /p but do not use /d, then the local database is assumed.
|
/l language
|
Specifies the three-letter code for the language to use for this client session, such as ENU for U.S. English. The applicable Language Pack must have been installed for the client. If you do not use /l to specify a valid language, the language is obtained from the configuration file. |
/u username
|
Specifies the user name. The Demo shortcuts specify predefined demo users using /u and /p options. If you do not use /u and /p to specify a valid Siebel user, you must log in from a login screen. For lists of demo users provided with the Siebel Sample Database, by Siebel application, see Siebel Demo Users Reference. CAUTION: Security issues must be considered in using /u and /p options (in particular /p) to access a live production system. These values are not encrypted.
|
/p password
|
Specifies the password for the user specified using /u. |
/ctisim
|
Runs the Communications Simulator. Use this option with predefined Demo shortcuts that specify it, such as Siebel Call Center Demo. For more information, see Siebel Communications Server Administration Guide. |
/b browser_exe
|
Specifies the path and file name for the browser executable program to use for the Siebel client session. The /b option is needed only if a browser that is not supported for the Siebel application is currently the default browser. For example, if you are running a high-interactivity application, such as Siebel Call Center, you must use a supported version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. If this browser is not the default browser, use /b to specify the browser explicitly. For more information about supported browsers for Siebel Business Applications, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network. |
/s spool_file
|
Specifies spooling SQL to a specified output file. This option may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. For more information, see Siebel Performance Tuning Guide. |
