Updating Your Assignment Manager Deployment with New Configurations

After configuring Assignment Manager objects and attributes or altering assignment policies, it is often necessary to recompile the .srf file and restart various server components and tasks. Table 14 required server tasks and components that must be restarted based on the type of configuration process.

NOTE:  You must recompile the siebel.srf file whenever you add, inactivate, or delete any assignment object types, assignment criteria, and assignment attributes. Make sure all projects are recompiled—not only the locked projects—if you inactivate or delete a top-level object type or assignment criteria.

NOTE:  For information about checking out and checking in objects, see Using Siebel Tools.

Use the following procedure to update your deployment with new configurations.

CAUTION:  Some steps in the following procedure may not be required for your particular deployment. Follow the steps as they apply (or do not apply) to the configuration process performed as shown in Table 14.

To update your deployment with new configurations

1. Compile changes to the siebel.srf file, if necessary, and deploy it to the server.
   1. Choose Tools > Compile Projects.
   2. In the Object Compiler dialog box, select the project (or projects) you want to compile.
   3. Select the Siebel client repository file (default is siebel.srf) located in the Objects subdirectory within the Siebel client root directory.
   4. Click Compile.

      For more information on when to recompile the siebel.srf file, see Table 14 and Using Siebel Tools. For information on distributing the siebel.srf file, see Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide.

      NOTE:  It is not necessary to recompile the siebel.srf file whenever you configure an assignment object or an assignment attribute column, but you must recompile the siebel.srf file whenever you add, inactivate, or delete any assignment object types, assignment criteria, or assignment attributes.
      
      Make sure all projects are recompiled—not only the locked projects—if you inactivate or delete a top-level object type or assignment criteria.
