Exposing Hidden Properties of Applets and Views

Upgrades: Release 6.2.1 only.

Environments: Development environment only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

As of Release 7.0.x, certain properties in Siebel Tools are no longer applicable for the Siebel Web Client. By default, these properties are hidden. Before you begin the migration to the Siebel 8.0 Web Client, expose these properties to make the migration of your customizations to Release 8.0 easier.

For more information on migrating created or modified applets and views to the Siebel Web Client, see About Migrating to the Siebel Web Client.

To expose hidden properties

1. Using a text editor, open the tools.cfg file located in the following directory:

   SiebelToolsDir\bin\LANG

2. Under the [Siebel] section in the tools.cfg file, locate the following parameter:

   ClientConfigurationMode

   The default value for ClientConfigurationMode is Web. This value hides properties that are no longer applicable.

3. To expose these attributes for migration, change the value from Web to All.
4. Save and close the tools.cfg file.
5. Launch Siebel Tools.

   The previously hidden properties are now visible.

6. After completing the Siebel Web Client migration to Release 7.x, reset the ClientConfigurationMode parameter to Web to hide properties that are no longer applicable.
