Siebel Modules for Packaging


The Siebel Mobile or Dedicated Web Client consists of the installable modules described in Table 12. These modules correspond to the subdirectories under the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT directory, which are described in Verifying the Siebel Client Directory Structure. Additional subdirectories, other than those shown here, may apply for your client installations.

NOTE:  When you create a package, you can decide which modules or files to include or exclude in the package for distribution to end users. Do not remove any modules or component subdirectories or files unless you know they will not be needed. Verify that your Siebel directory structure contains the files you require, including any modified files or other configuration changes.

BIN
Siebel executable files (binaries) located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\bin directory, including the required DLL files, configuration files, and executable files such as siebel.exe.
If you have customized the configuration files, replace the default configuration files in this directory with your own before you start the Packager utility.
Note: When you create a package, include this module and all components in the bin directory, except for the user preferences file, user_ID&SiebelAppname.spf, and the session file, siebel.ses.

Template files for the SIS (Siebel Interactive Selling) CDA application, located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\isstempl directory.
LOCAL
Location of the local database, local Siebel File System, and docking files for Siebel Remote, located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\local directory.
Note: Include this module in order to create the local directory when you create a package for a full installation. However, you should not initialize a local database before you create the package. Each local database is unique to an individual user and should not be packaged.
LOCALE
Language-specific files, located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\locale directory.
Note: Include this module and all components in the locale directory when you create a package for a full installation.

Log files from Siebel client operations (such as synchronization), located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\log directory.
Note: Include this module in order to create the log directory when you create a package for a full installation.
MSGTEMPL
Message template files used by the Siebel client, located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\msgtempl directory.
Note: Include this module and all components in the msgtempl directory when you create a package for a full installation.
OBJECTS
Object configuration template files (configured objects), located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\objects directory—the precompiled SRF file to distribute to end users.
The objects directory must contain at least one SRF file before you start the Packager utility.
Note: Include this module and all components in the objects directory when you create a package for a full installation.
PACKAGER
Note: It is recommended that you do not include the Packager utility itself when you create a package for distribution to end users.

Note: Include this module and all components in the public directory when you create a package for a full installation.
REPORTS
Report template files located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\reports directory.
If you have created your own reports, replace the standard report templates in this directory with your own, or add your own, before you start the Packager utility.
Note: Include this module and all components in the reports directory when you create a package for a full installation.
SAMPLE
Location of the Sample Database and sample Siebel File System, located in the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\sample directory—if you have installed the Sample Database.
Note: Generally, you would not distribute the Sample Database to your end users, who will access a local database (Mobile Web Client) or a server database (Dedicated Web Client).
You may instead decide to distribute a separate client installer package that includes the Sample Database. If you do this, include the Sample Database, sample configuration files that refer to the Sample Database (located in SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\bin\LANGUAGE), and sample SRF files (located in SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\objects).
