Preparing Siebel Tools to Develop a Workflow Process

To develop a workflow process, you begin by preparing Siebel Tools.

To prepare Siebel Tools to develop a workflow process

1. Set the following parameter in the Workflow section of the configuration file of the Siebel application:

   VerCheckTime = -1

   Setting VerCheckTime to -1 allows you to use the Publish/Activate button. Siebel CRM typically locates the configuration file in the language directory in the client. For example:

   Siebel\81\21031\MWC\BIN\ENU\uagent.cfg

   where:

   • ENU is the language directory
   • uagent.cfg is the configuration file

     For more information, see Buttons You Can Use on the Workflow Task Editor Toolbar.

2. Log in to Siebel Tools.
3. Choose the View menu, Toolbars, and then the WF/Task Editor Toolbar menu item.
4. Choose the View menu, Toolbars, and then the Simulate menu item.
5. Display the object types that you use to develop a workflow process.

   For more information, see Displaying Object Types You Use to Develop a Workflow Process.

6. If necessary, display business service objects.
