Setting Enterprise Server Parameters


You must set the MsgClientAddInEAIUrl enterprise server parameter, which defines the path to the Siebel EAI. The Add-In Update Agent uses this path to download data from the Siebel application and cache the data on the client's desktop. For information about the Add-In Update Agent, see Installing Siebel Outlook Add-In.

You must also enable Web Client Automation.

If you want, you can also set values for the MsgClientAddInCacheRefreshInterval parameter and the MsgClientAddInLinkHistory parameter. The MsgClientAddInCacheRefreshInterval parameter defines the initial cache refresh interval for all users, in minutes. The MsgClientAddInLinkHistory parameter defines the initial quick link retention period for all users, in days. For information about how individual users can modify these values in Outlook, see Setting the Cache Refresh Interval and Setting the Quick Link Retention Period.

CAUTION:  You must use the same authentication mechanism for the Application Object Manager and the EAI Object Manager used to refresh the data cache. This is because SSSE uses the user name and password of the currently logged in user to log in to the EAI Object Manager to refresh the data cache. If the authentication mechanism for the Object Manager is different from the authentication mechanism for the Application, this results in a refresh failure.
