Description of Siebel Application Parameters


Table 36 describes several Siebel application parameters. These parameters appear in the [Siebel] section of the configuration file and apply to Siebel Mobile Web Client or Siebel Developer Web Client.

For the Siebel Web Client, the parameters are defined as server parameters on the Application Object Manager, rather than defined in a configuration file. Some parameters might also apply to Siebel Tools and are defined in the tools.cfg file.

Table 36. Siebel Application Parameters
Name
Description

AccessDir

Specifies the directory where Microsoft Access is installed.

ApplicationName

Name of the application object in the repository to use, such as Siebel Sales or Siebel Service. ApplicationName determines which splash screen appears and which set of menus is enabled.

ApplicationSplashText

Text that appears on a splash screen when starting up a Siebel application.

The default varies by the application. If you are starting Siebel Sales, for example, then ApplicationSplashText is set to Siebel Sales by default.

ApplicationTitle

Changing the text in the ApplicationTitle parameter in the configuration file changes the Application Title value in the multi-value group applets and the Title that appears on the left side of the application title bar.

As necessary, make this change in the appropriate configuration file for the intended application. For example, for Siebel Call Center, this parameter is set, in the file uagent.cfg, to Siebel Call Center.

CaptionPrefix

Allows customizing of the title in the upper-left corner of the Siebel client application. Reads Siebel by default.

ClientRootDir

Specifies the directory where the Siebel client software is installed.

ComponentName

Specifies the Siebel Anywhere configuration that is used during version check. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Anywhere screen, then the Configurations view, to see the configurations.

Change the setting for this parameter if you want this configuration file to be version-checked by a specific Siebel Anywhere configuration.

For example, if you want to check the version of Siebel Business Applications used at one facility with the version used at another facility, then create two Siebel Anywhere configurations appropriately named. Then, in the configuration file for each set of users, enter a different value for the ComponentName parameter.

It is recommended that you use only alphanumeric characters plus dashes and normal parentheses for the ComponentName parameter. If you want to use the Priority upgrade feature, then the maximum character length for the Upgrade Component name is 40.

DataSource

Name of the default data source that appears in the Connect to drop-down list in the Siebel login screen. Must correspond to an existing data source defined in the configuration file. By default, this parameter is set to Local.

DefaultChartFont

Font name specification for chart applets. Defaults to Arial-10 normal.

DockRepositoryName

Allows the application to read repository information straight from the database, rather than from the Siebel repository file (SRF) file. The value matches the repository used for compiling the SRF file.

EnablePersonalization

Must be set to True to activate the personalization (content targeting) functionality.

Siebel workflow processes will not execute properly until personalization events are reloaded.

EnableScripting

True or False. Enables use of Siebel Visual Basic or Siebel eScript.

Setting this parameter to False also disables browser scripts in addition to server scripts.

LocalDbODBCDataSource

Name of the ODBC data source that is set up to access the local database. It is used by a variety of features in the Siebel Business Applications and in Siebel Tools. Do not modify it, because it is already correctly configured for the Siebel client or Siebel Tools.

MaxDepthOfTheQuery

Allows you to increase the parse depth of a query with a large search specification, such as a query with a large number of OR clauses.

If you receive errors indicating that a query cannot run because it is too big, then you might refine the query to be more selective or to use parentheses. Alternatively, you can try setting this parameter to a larger value, such as 1024 or 2048, to eliminate the error. The default value is 500. You might receive this error: The query could not be run because it is too big. This issue might affect Siebel database upgrades.

You can set this parameter in the application configuration file for the Siebel Mobile Web Client or Developer Web Client, or set it in the tools.cfg file for Siebel Tools. Set it in the [InfraObjMgr] section.

Alternatively, you can set this parameter for the Siebel Enterprise. The full name of the server parameter is Maximum depth of the query.

MultiCurrency

True or False. Enables multicurrency support.

PersonalizationLog

Add the following to the configuration file to view a log of all personalization activity:

PersonalizationLog = "C:\personalization.txt"

where C: is the drive where you want to store the log. The log can help you debug your rules, events, and actions.

RemoteSearchServer

True or False. True indicates that searches are performed on a remote computer. False indicates that searches are performed on a local computer.

RemoteSearchServerPath

Indicates the name of the remote computer that performs searches.

ReportsDir

Directory where reports are installed. It is typically left blank.

ReportsODBCDataSource

Name of ODBC data source used to connect to external modules.

RepositoryFile

Name of the Siebel SRF file to use.

RepositoryFile specifies the physical file that contains all of the run-time object definitions. Where appropriate, this parameter can optionally specify the absolute path to the SRF file, in order to use the SRF file in a different language directory, such as to display the user interface in a different language than that specified by Language Code. For more information about multilingual Siebel deployments, see Siebel Global Deployment Guide and the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

ScriptingDLL

Name of the shared library that implements Siebel Visual Basic or Siebel eScript. If the Siebel Server runs on a UNIX server computer, and you plan to use Siebel eScript, then set the value of ScriptingDLL to sscfjs.so.

SearchDefName

Search definition from Siebel Tools to be used for searching. For more information about search, see Siebel Search Administration Guide.

SearchEngine

Defines the search engine to use for search. You set this parameter to the value that identifies the search engine. If your search engine is Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, then you set it to SES. For more information about search engine administration, see Siebel Search Administration Guide.

SearchInstallDir

Set this parameter to the directory where your search engine is installed. For more information about search engine administration, see Siebel Search Administration Guide.

SharedModeUsersDir

Directory where user preference files are stored. It is typically left blank. Otherwise, it must be set to a directory under a network shared drive, but it cannot be set to the shared drive itself.

For example, if \\yourserver\common is the network shared drive, then you cannot set SharedModeUsersDir to \\yourserver\common. Instead, set SharedModeUsersDir to a directory under \common.

TempDir

Directory where temporary files are created.

Version

Represents the version of a file. This parameter is for internal use only and is automatically maintained by Siebel Anywhere. When you create an upgrade kit for the configuration file, Siebel Anywhere increments this version string appropriately, based on the version information from the Upgrade Components view.

NOTE:  When you perform a Siebel Anywhere upgrade, you must manually upgrade files from the upgraded Siebel client directory to the Siebel Server directory.
