Editing the Web Server Extension Configuration File (eapps.cfg)

The SWSE installer installs a single configuration file, eapps.cfg, for all the Siebel eBusiness Applications located in SWEAPP_ROOT\bin.

The eapps.cfg file contains configuration information that you entered during the configuration of the Siebel Web Server Extension, including identity and connectivity information for the Application Object Managers, and login and security settings.

You may, if desired, add selected optional parameters manually to affect the selected Siebel Web Client applications as a whole. You may also override the added parameters to determine the performance of one or more applications.

For detailed information about the structure and parameters of the eapps.cfg file, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

If you make any changes to the eapps.cfg file, you must restart your World Wide Web Publishing Service.
