Siebel System Administration Guide > Structure of the eapps.cfg File > Parameter Descriptions of the eapps.cfg FileThese parameters appear in the eapps.cfg file, located in the \BIN subdirectory of your \SWEApp installation directory ( [swe] SectionThe parameters that follow can be found in this section of the eapps.cfg file. These parameters apply to all the selected Siebel Business Applications. DisableNagleThis parameter, when set to TRUE, disables the Nagling algorithm feature of Microsoft IIS Web server. The default value is FALSE. This is an optional parameter that, if required, must be manually input into the [swe] section of the file. LanguageThis parameter defines the language version of Siebel Business Applications. For example, enu stands for U.S. English. LogDirectoryThis parameter defines the location of the log directory, whose default location is NOTE: To configure SWSE logging, set the appropriate environment variables. For information on this procedure, see Siebel System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide. MaxQueryStringLengthThis parameter controls the size of HTTP POST requests from the SWSE plugin. The default value is 500000 bytes (approximately 500 KB). Values for this parameter include:
NOTE: The HTTP GET method has a 2 MB request limit, which is defined by the HTTP protocol. ClientRootDirectoryThis is the location of SWSE plug-in installation, whose default location is SessionMonitorUse this parameter to determine whether to gather statistics on all current sessions and report them in the SWSE stats page. To enable session monitoring, set SessionMonitor to TRUE. When this parameter is set to TRUE, the SWSE stats page contains information on sessions of users who have logged in to the system. If a user exits properly, using the Logout command, this information is removed from the stats page. If a user exits out of the application by closing the application or if the session times out, the session information remains on the stats page until the Web server is restarted. Session data includes each user's Username and unencrypted Session ID, so it is important to restrict visibility to the SWSE stats page when SessionMonitor is enabled. To prevent non-administrators from viewing the SWSE stats page, you can change the StatsPage parameter to a value known only to administrators. If SessionMonitor is disabled (set to FALSE), sessions remain unmonitored and do not appear on the application SWSE stats page. NOTE: The collection of session information results in a slight degradation in performance. For further information on configuring and viewing the SWSE stats page, see Siebel System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide. AllowStatsThis parameter enables or disables application-specific statistics reporting in the SWSE stats page. To enable the collection of application-specific statistics, set AllowStats to TRUE. AllowStats set to FALSE disables statistics gathering. The default is TRUE (enable statistics collection). NOTE: If set to FALSE, only system-level statistics are displayed on the SWSE stats page. LogSegmentSizeThis parameter determines how large a segment of the log file is, in 512 byte blocks. For example, if you set this parameter to 5, the log segment will be 2.5 KB in size. A value of 0 turns off segmentation. LogMaxSegmentsThis parameter determines the number of log segments that will be kept. If you set this parameter to 1, only one segment is kept. When this segment reaches the size specified by the Log Segment Size parameter, the segment is overwritten. In general, you should set this parameter to a high value, such as 20. In this case, the twenty-first segment overwrites the first segment, and so forth. A value of 0 turns segmentation off. SessionTrackingThe Siebel Web Engine maintains user session information through cookies or information contained in Web page URLs. The SessionTracking parameter sets the preferred method of maintaining session information. SessionTracking has three values:
[defaults] SectionThe parameters that follow apply to all the Siebel Business Applications whose connect strings are referenced in this file. Any of the settings that can be specified under [defaults] can be also specified for individual applications (such as /esales) in the [xxx] section. If such a parameter is set for a particular Siebel Business Application, it overrides the value listed in [defaults]. DoCompression. Specifies whether the SWSE will compress HTTP traffic. Compressing HTTP traffic, where it is feasible to do so, substantially reduces bandwidth consumption. This feature is supported on HTTP 1.1, and is not supported on HTTP 1.0.
You can set this parameter for individual Siebel applications, or set it for multiple applications by defining it in the [defaults] section. For example, you might set this parameter to CompressProxyTraffic for employee applications accessed on an intranet.if you know that any proxy servers that are deployed support HTTP 1.1. Otherwise, set this parameter to either FALSE or TRUE (such as in the [defaults] section). NOTE: Because it is impossible to know what type of proxy server an external user (that is, a partner or customer) may be using, the setting CompressProxyTraffic should be used for employee applications only, not for customer or partner applications. StatsPageThis is the URL (relative to the application's virtual directory) of the page that administrators can access to view statistics on how the Web server is being used. Statistics include the number of active users, the number of requests, and the average speed of request processing. For information on the SWSE Stats Page, see Siebel System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide. HTTPPortThe HTTP port used for Web browser communications. The default setting is the standard port of the Web server in use (80). HTTPSPortThe HTTPS port used for secure Web browser connections. The default setting is the standard port of the Web server in use (443). EnableFQDNThis setting enables the processing of requests to Web sites even if the user does not provide the fully qualified domain name, such as http://ebiz.oracle.com. The corollary parameter is FQDN, which must also be set appropriately for the request to be processed correctly. See also FQDN. FQDNStands for Fully Qualified Domain Name. An example of a fully qualified domain name would be If the Web server receives a request for a URL that does not contain the full domain name, the FQDN setting causes the browser to reissue the request and to add the domain name. In the example below, the eapps.cfg file is edited so that a Web site is accessed as One possible application for this is in a Single Sign-On environment, in which cookies with FQDN must be passed to different servers in the same domain. For information about Single Sign-On, see Siebel Security Guide. NOTE: If using software to block pop-up windows, you must enable FQDN. For further information on configuring for pop-up blockers, see Configuring Siebel Applications for Pop-Up Blocker Compatibility. EnabledThe Siebel Web Engine stops responding to user requests if this flag is set to FALSE. The default is TRUE, or enabled. A particular Siebel Business Application (for example, /marketing) stops responding to user requests if this flag is set to FALSE. This is an optional parameter that, if required, must be manually input in either the [defaults] section of the file, or at the application [/xxx] level, depending on whether you want to disable all applications or just some. In the example below, the first line has been manually input to disable the Marketing application. All applications are enabled by default. In the following example, the parameter has been set to disable all applications, because it has been entered in the [defaults] section. Security-related eapps.cfg ParametersFor information on security-specific eapps.cfg parameters, such as AnonUserName, AnonPassword, GuestSessionTimeout, SessionTimeout, and EncryptedPassword, see Siebel Security Guide. [/xxx] SectionThis section of the file contains connect strings for each Siebel Web Client application, as well as the parameters WebPublicRootDir and SiebEntSecToken. Each connect string is preceded by a bracketed heading as illustrated below: xxx = the name of the Siebel Web Client application you want to edit. ConnectStringA connect string exists for each Siebel Web Client application. Each connect string reflects the language-specific Application Object Manager (AOM) for every language supported by Siebel Business Applications in the current release for every supported Siebel application, and contains information you entered during setup. The format for the connect string is as follows: ConnectString = siebel.
ConnectString = siebel.TCPIP.none.NONE: StartCommandThis value is the assumed command if your session starts and a command (query) is not explicitly specified in the URL. For example, for eservice the StartCommand is WebPublicRootDirThis is the location for Web image caching, whose default location is
NOTE: This parameter must be set in the application-specific section of the eapps.cfg file. SiebEntSecTokenThis is the password used by the Siebel Administrator to refresh application images from the Siebel Server on the Web server without restarting. |
