Value

Y or N, not enclosed in quotes.

If this user property is set to Y, then seed data records of the business component cannot be deleted or modified when Siebel Business Applications are launched by the standard means.

If this user property is not defined on the business component or its value is N, then seed data records of the business component can be modified or deleted when Siebel Business Applications are launched by the standard means.

The Protect Seed Data user property can be overridden, and modification of seed data allowed, by launching Siebel Business Applications with the /editseeddata parameter. The /editseeddata parameter can be activated in one of the following ways:

• Append /editseeddata to the UNIX command line that launches the application.
• Append /editseeddata to the command line that launches the application, as defined in the properties dialog box for the application's shortcut in Windows.

Usage

For example, add the Protect Seed Data user property with value Y to the Responsibility business component. Then, seed data responsibility records, that is, those with record numbers starting with zero (0), cannot be deleted or modified.

You cannot inactivate this user property or modify its values. You can create new instances of this property.
