Editing the SWSE Configuration File (eapps.cfg)

The SWSE installer installs a single configuration file, eapps.cfg, for all the Siebel Business Applications located in SWSE_ROOT\bin.

The eapps.cfg file contains configuration information that you entered during the configuration of the SWSE, including identity and connectivity information for the Application Object Managers, and login and security settings.

You may, if desired, add selected optional parameters manually to affect the selected Siebel Web Client applications as a whole. You may also override the added parameters to determine the performance of one or more applications.

For detailed information about the structure and parameters of the eapps.cfg file, see the Siebel System Administration Guide. See also the Security Guide for Siebel Business Applications.

If you make any changes to the eapps.cfg file, you must restart your World Wide Web Publishing service.

To edit the eapps.cfg file

1. Double-click the eapps.cfg file, located in SWSE_ROOT\bin, to launch your default text editor.
