Configuring Siebel Server Component Parameters for Accessibility


You must manually change the OverwriteConfig parameter in the siebel.ini file before you begin to configure a Siebel application for accessibility. The default value is set to No. You must set this parameter to Yes.

To configure Siebel server component parameters for accessibility

  1. Set up a Siebel Server.

    For more information about how to set up a Siebel Server, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

  2. Modify the following server component parameters:

    HighInteractivity = FALSE
    ApplicationStyle = EmployeeFacing
    AccessibleEnhanced = TRUE
    DisableSITabIndex = TRUE
    EnableSIFocusTracking = TRUE

    Table 3 further describes the server component parameter values for standard-interactivity mode.

  3. If you are deploying standard-interactivity mode and high-interactivity mode on the same Siebel Server, modify the parameters for Application Object Manager.
  4. Restart the Siebel Server and Siebel Gateway Name Server.
