Editing the Siebel Tools Configuration File

This task is a step in Process of Meeting the Requirements for an Incremental Upgrade of Siebel Innovation Pack 2013, Using the Incremental Repository Merge. Use this task to perform the required edits in the Siebel Tools configuration file.

To edit the Siebel Tools configuration file

1. Navigate to Tools_install_dir\bin\lang, and open the tools.cfg file.
2. Make the following changes in the tools.cfg file:
   1. Change the SymStrPrefix value from the default value of X_ to SBL_ .

      CAUTION:  You must change these values back to the default value after the merge but before compiling the SRF file. It is required that you set the prefix to SBL_ to differentiate between symbolic strings you create and those provided by Siebel CRM. After the merge, to enable you to create your own custom symbolic strings, you must return the prefix back to X_. To do this, see Editing the Siebel Tools Configuration File After the Development Environment Merge.

   2. Make sure the EnableToolsConstrain value is set to the default value of False. If it is not, then set the value to False.
   3. Set the DockRepositoryName value from the default value of Siebel Repository to Prior Customer Repository.
3. Save the Tools.cfg file.
4. You do this because incremental repository merge requires this prefix to be set to SBL_ so that all the symbolic strings that are included as part of the New Siebel Repository are inserted into your repository during the merge.
