Enabling and Disabling the ST eScript Engine

If you wish to use the older T eScript engine, you can disable the ST eScript engine in Siebel Tools by using the system preferences. If the ST eScript engine has been disabled, it can be reenabled the same way.

CAUTION:  We do not recommend disabling the ST eScript engine. If you wish to do so, you should work with Siebel Technical Support to help prevent any unpredicted behavior.

To enable or disable the ST eScript engine for Siebel Tools

1. In Siebel Tools, choose Screens > System Administration > System Preferences.
2. In the System Preferences window, under System Preference Name, query for Enable ST Script Engine.
3. Set the System Preference Value:
   • TRUE. Enables the ST eScript engine.
   • FALSE. Disables the ST eScript engine.

     NOTE:  If you want to revert to the T eScript engine after using the ST eScript engine and modifying your code to be strongly typed, you will need to undo your strongly typed code changes.

4. Recompile your scripted objects.
5. Exit Siebel Tools, and then relaunch it to use the desired eScript engine.

NOTE:  If the ST eScript engine is enabled in the development environment, it should also be enabled in the Siebel Business Application. Both environments should have all code compiled using the same eScript engine setting, and the engine setting for both environments should be the one in which the code was compiled.

For information on setting system preferences in Siebel Business Applications, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
