Configuring the Manifest Extensions File

The manifest_extensions.map file is a configuration file that can store a rendering key and the object name that corresponds with a Presentation_Model or Physical_Renderer. It allows you to customize a presentation model or physical renderer without modifying the applet user properties in Siebel Tools.

To configure the Manifest Extensions File

1. Open Windows Explorer on the Siebel Server and then navigate to the following folder:

   object_root\siebel\objects\

2. Use a text editor to open the manifest_extensions.map file.

   If this file does not exist, then create it now. To get a copy of this file, see Article ID 1494998.1 on My Oracle Support.

3. Specify the mappings for objects.

   The manifest_extensions.map file uses the following syntax:

   [Presentation_Model]
   object_name=PM_KeyName
   

   [Physical_Renderer]
   object_name=PR_KeyName

   where:

   • object_name identifies the name of the applet or view that resides in the SRF.
   • PM_KeyName identifies the key for the presentation model.
   • PR_KeyName identifies the key for the Physical_Renderer.

     For example, the manifest_extensions.map file can include the following structure:

   [Presentation_Model]
   Quotes Catalog List Applet=ConfiguratorPM
   Contact Form Applet=ConfiguratorPM
   

   [Physical_Renderer]
   LS Pharma HI Calendar Applet=CalendarPR
   Consumer Detail Applet=TreePR
   Quotes Catalog List Applet=ConsumerPR

4. Stop and then restart the Siebel Server.

   The object manager on the Siebel Server reads the manifest_extensions.map file one time for the life time of the Siebel Server instance. If you modify this file, then you must restart this server.

5. Use a text editor to open the manifest_extensions.map file.
