This appendix includes information on Siebel application parameters. It includes the following topics:

• About Siebel Application Configuration Files
• Editing Configuration Files
• Configuration Parameters Index
• Description of Siebel Application Parameters
• Data Source Parameters

Overview

This appendix describes parameters used by Siebel applications in a Siebel Mobile Web Client or a Siebel Web Client deployment. Not all the parameters used by Siebel applications are described in this book. Many parameters are primarily described elsewhere on Siebel Bookshelf while some parameters are not documented on Siebel Bookshelf.

Where you configure parameters for Siebel applications depends on the type of client deployment:

• For a Siebel Web Client deployment, you configure parameters as component parameters for the AOM or as named subsystem parameters. In both contexts, you use the Siebel Server Manager to configure the parameter. For more information, see About Siebel Application Object Manager Parameters.
• For a Siebel Mobile Web Client deployment, you configure parameters in a configuration file (.cfg). Examples of configuration files include siebel.cfg, used by Siebel Sales, and uagent.cfg, used by Siebel Call Center. For more information, see About Siebel Application Configuration Files and Editing Configuration Files.

This appendix includes these sections:

• Configuration Parameters Index provides an alphabetical list of selected configuration parameters and provides references to where they are documented in Description of Siebel Application Parameters or elsewhere on Siebel Bookshelf.

  The parameters are listed by the alias in the sequence in which they appear in a Siebel configuration file for a Siebel Mobile Web Client deployment. In many cases, when you set the equivalent parameter for a Siebel Web Client deployment, the alias of the parameter that appears in the Siebel Server Manager GUI is prefixed by CFG, and the full parameter name also appears in the GUI.

  For example, you set the parameter ApplicationSplashText in the configuration file to determine the text that appears on a splash screen when starting up a Siebel application on a Siebel Mobile Web Client. For a Siebel Web Client deployment, you set the parameter Application Splashtext (alias CFGApplicationSplashText) on the relevant AOM.

• Description of Siebel Application Parameters describes some of the parameters for Siebel applications.
• Data Source Parameters describes some of the parameters in data source sections of the configuration file.

  The parameters are listed by the alias in the sequence in which they appear in a Siebel configuration file for a Siebel Mobile Web Client deployment. For a Siebel Web Client, many of these parameters can be set as named subsystem parameters for the relevant data source. In many cases, the parameter alias that appears in the Siebel Server Manager GUI is prefixed by DS. For example, the ConnectString parameter that you set in the [ServerDataSrc] section of an application configuration file appears as Data source Connect String (alias DSConnectString) for the Server Datasource named subsystem in the Siebel Server Manager GUI.
