This appendix lists and describes the content of the The file includes language-specific Application Object Manager connect strings for every language supported by Siebel eBusiness Applications in the current release for every supported Siebel application. The format for the connect string is as follows: ConnectString = siebel.
Parameter DescriptionsThese parameters appear in the [swe] SectionThe parameters that follow can be found in this section of the LanguageThis is the language version of Siebel eBusiness Applications. For example, NOTE: To configure SWSE logging, set the appropriate environment variables. For information on this procedure, see System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications. Log DirectoryThis is the location of the log directory, whose default location is ClientRootDirectoryThis is the location of SWSE plug-in installation, whose default location is SessionMonitorUse this parameter to determine whether to gather statistics on all current sessions and report them in the SWSE Session data includes each user's Username and unencrypted Session ID, so it is important to restrict visibility to the SWSE If SessionMonitor is disabled (set to NOTE: The collection of session information results in a slight degradation in performance. AllowStatsThis parameter enables or disables application-specific statistics reporting in the SWSE NOTE: If set to LogSegmentSizeThis parameter determines how large a segment of the log file is in kilobytes. If you set this parameter to LogMaxSegmentsThis parameter determines the number of log segments that will be kept. If you set this parameter to A value of SessionTrackingThe Siebel Web Engine maintains user session information through cookies or information contained in Web page URLs. The SessionTracking parameter sets the preferred method of maintaining session information. SessionTracking has three values:
[defaults] SectionThe parameters that follow apply to all the Siebel eBusiness Applications whose connect strings are referenced in this file. Any of the settings that can be specified under AnonUserNameThis parameter specifies the user name required for anonymous browsing and initial access to the login pages. The user name selected should have access to views intended for anonymous browsing, but it should otherwise be the name of a restricted user. AnonPasswordThe password corresponding to the value entered for StatsPageThis is the URL (relative to the application's virtual directory) of the page that administrators can access to view statistics on how the Web server is being used. Statistics include the number of active users, the number of requests, and the average speed of request processing. For information on the SWSE Stats Page, see System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications. HTTPPortThe HTTP port used for Web browser communications. The default setting is the standard port of the Web server in use (80). HTTPSPortThe HTTPS port used for secure Web browser connections. The default setting is the standard port of the Web server in use (443). EnableFQDNThis setting enables the processing of requests to Web sites even if the user does not provide the fully qualified domain name, such as The corollary parameter is FQDNStands for Fully Qualified Domain Name. An example of a fully qualified domain name would be If the Web server receives a request for a URL that does not contain the full domain name, the In the example below, the One possible application for this is in a Single Sign-On environment, in which cookies with FQDN must be passed to different servers in the same domain. For information about Single Sign-On, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications. NOTE: If using software to block pop-up windows, you must enable FQDN. For further information on configuring for pop-up blockers, see Configuring Siebel Applications for Pop-Up Blocker Compatibility. GuestSessionTimeoutThe time, in seconds, that a connection open for anonymous browsing can remain idle before it times out. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). Guest sessions are used for anonymous browsing. They permit users to navigate portions of the site without logging in. In contrast to anonymous sessions, guest sessions are associated with an individual Siebel Web Client. These sessions are opened when an unregistered user starts navigating the site, and they remain open until the Web client logs out or times out due to inactivity. When deciding how long guest user timeout should be, your primary consideration should be whether or not anonymous browsing is being used. If so, guest user timeouts should be greater than the average time users would need to deliberate their next action. In other words, this is the time allowed between user actions. Both guest and anonymous sessions use the For more information on setting this parameter, see Performance Tuning Guide. SessionTimeoutThe time, in seconds, from the user's last browser request until the user's connection times out. The default is 900 seconds (15 minutes). Standard sessions are those where users log in using their registered user name and password. Otherwise, they share many of the same characteristics as guest sessions. Table 25 offers guidelines for setting this parameter. NOTE: All the session timeouts mentioned above deal with the session inactivity. In other words, if they are set to 3600 seconds, then it requires one hour of session inactivity for that session to time out. The session inactivity means there should be no request made to the Siebel Server on that session. Any act pinging the Siebel Server, such as message broadcasting, resets the session timeout period. If the update interval is less than the SessionTimeout set in the eapps.cfg file, the session never times out. For more information on setting this parameter, see Performance Tuning Guide. EnabledThe Siebel Web Engine stops responding to user requests if this flag is set to This is an optional parameter that, if required, must be manually input in either the In the example below, the first line has been manually input to disable the Marketing application. All applications are enabled by default. In the following example, the parameter has been set to disable all applications, because it has been entered in the [/xxx] SectionThis section of the file contains connect strings for each Siebel Web Client application, as well as the parameters Each connect string is preceded by a bracketed heading as illustrated below:
Any parameter you set for a particular eApplication overrides any opposite value listed under ConnectStringA connect string exists for each Siebel Web Client application. Each connect string reflects the individual object manager for that application and contains information you entered during setup. The following sample connect string contains descriptions within parentheses of the string components. [/eevents]
StartCommandThis value is the assumed command if your session starts and a command (query) is not explicitly specified in the URL. For example, for eservice the StartCommand is WebPublicRootDirThis is the location for Web image caching, whose default location is
WebUpdatePasswordThis is the password used by the Siebel Administrator to refresh application images from the Siebel Server on the Web server without restarting. |
