Setting Up Communications Driver Profiles

Notifications are sent using communications driver and driver profiles for WAP (wireless) v1.2 and SMTP (email) protocols. You can use the existing parameters for the communications drivers and profiles, or you can customize the parameters using driver parameter overrides. If suitable profiles do not exist, you may need to create a new profile.

For WAP v1.2, the communications driver name is WAP V1.2, and no parameters are required for the profile parameter definitions. You do not need to make a profile for WAP v1.2, but you do need a profile parameter for SMTP. For example, the Profile Name could be WAP V1.2 Profile, and the Profile Parameter Override would be None. This profile is available as seed data.

NOTE:  Siebel eAuction supports only the following communications drivers: WAP v1.2 and Internet SMTP/POP3 Server.

For more information about administering wireless applications, see Siebel Wireless Administration Guide.
