Creating a New List of Values Locally

If you use the Picklist Wizard to create a list of values, and if you store this list of values on your local database, then you cannot use Check In to copy this list of values to the server database. To avoid this situation, you can do one of the following:

• Use Siebel Remote to synchronize your modifications to the Siebel Server:
  1. On the computer where the S_LOV_OF_VAL records exist, open the Developer Web Client, and then connect to the local database.
  2. Click the File menu, and then click Synchronize Database.
  3. Make sure you clear the cache in the List Of Values view.
• Create the list of values on the Siebel Server instead of on your local development computer.
