Configuration File Directives

---

Within the Siebel Handheld application .cfg file, there is a [PDA] section that contains a number of handheld-specific parameters. One of these parameters, the Default Business Objects declarations (DefaultBusObjs), can be used as a Handheld Sync data filtering tool. Two directives that are used to filter data are:

DefaultFields. This directive specifies which fields in the specified Business Component are downloaded to the device.
DefaultBusObjs. This directive determines the Business Objects and Business Components that are downloaded. This directive is used primarily for those Business Objects and Business Components that are used internally in the code, but do not have applets or views based on them.

In the DefaultBusObjs directive, you can specify that a QBE be applied to a Business Component. You can also use the directive to set the visibility on the Business Object. This visibility is applied to the parent Business Component of the Business Object.

However, be extremely careful when modifying these declarations. The default .cfg file created during installation of the application includes certain Default Business Object declarations that are required for the application to function properly. Be sure that Default Business Object declarations for business objects like Shift, System Preferences, List of Values, System, and others are never modified. The business objects that are required for internal application functioning differ by application, so consult Siebel Technical Support or Siebel Expert Services before modifying these parameters.
