Disabling Siebel Anywhere


There may be times when you do not want your users to be prompted to install upgrade kits when they log in to Siebel applications. The following procedures describe how to disable Siebel Anywhere version checking and the ability to install Siebel Anywhere upgrade kits for connected clients and mobile clients.

To disable Siebel Anywhere for Connected Clients

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Anywhere screen.
  2. From the Show drop-down menu, select Upgrade Configurations.
  3. Use one of the following methods to disable Siebel Anywhere version checking and related user prompts:
    • Rename the appropriate configurations. For example, rename the Siebel Sales Client as Old Siebel Sales Client, and so on. Then, redistribute current version information to the renamed configuration.
    • Delete all the related components in a configuration and redistribute current version information to that configuration.

To disable Siebel Anywhere for Mobile Web Clients
