Siebel Web Client Shortcuts

The Siebel Web Client and Sample Database installers create shortcuts in the Siebel program folder for the modules that you have installed. For Siebel Business Applications, separate shortcuts are installed for each installed language. Which shortcuts are installed depends on your installation choices and is also subject to the settings in the siebel.ini file at the time of installation. Most shortcuts are installed in the program group; some are installed in the startup group.

For information about customizing the shortcuts or creating new ones, see Siebel Web Client Startup Options and Creating Custom Siebel Application Shortcuts.

Siebel application shortcuts are created by the Siebel Web Client installer. When you run a shortcut to start a Siebel application, you can connect to the Siebel database (for LAN-connected users of the Siebel Developer Web Client) or to an initialized local database on the local computer (for Mobile Web Client). Each application shortcut loads the Siebel configuration file for that application; for example, Siebel Call Center uses the file uagent.cfg.

Where the Siebel Sample Database has been installed on the local computer, the demo application shortcuts connect to the Sample Database, using predefined demonstration users.

This topic is part of Siebel Web Client Shortcuts and Startup Options.

Siebel Application Shortcuts

Several Siebel application shortcuts are created in the Siebel Web Client program group for Siebel Business Applications. All demo applications use the Siebel Sample Database.

You can create shortcuts for any valid Siebel application for which no shortcut is created by the installer.

Demo Application Shortcuts

The Siebel Sample Database, which is accessed by using one of the demo (demonstration) application shortcuts described in Siebel Web Client Shortcuts, contains many predefined demo users. For example, CCHENG is the demo user for the Siebel Call Center Demo shortcut. Many other demo users are available in the Sample Database that are not represented in the existing demo application shortcuts. Each demo user is intended to illustrate a particular Siebel application as it would appear for a user with certain predefined responsibilities.
