Exposing Hidden Properties of Siebel Applets and Views

Upgrades from: Siebel 6.x.

Environments: Development environment only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

As of Release 7.0.x, certain properties in Siebel Tools are no longer applicable for the Web Client. By default, these properties are hidden. Before you begin the migration to the Siebel 7.7.x Web Client, expose these properties to make the migration of your customizations to Siebel 7.7.x easier.

To expose hidden properties

1. Using a text editor, open the tools.cfg file located in the following directory:

   SiebelToolsDir\bin\LANG

2. Under the [Siebel] section in the tools.cfg file, locate the following parameter:

   ClientConfigurationMode

   The default value for ClientConfigurationMode is Web. This value hides properties that are no longer applicable.

3. To expose these attributes for migration, change the value from Web to All.
4. Save and close the tools.cfg file.
5. Launch Siebel Tools.

   The previously hidden properties are now visible.

6. After completing the Web Client migration to Siebel 7.x, reset the ClientConfigurationMode parameter to Web to hide properties that are no longer applicable.
