Getting Information About the Current Repository

You can get version, compilation, and path information about the current repository by choosing Help >About SRF from the menu bar in Siebel Tools. The About Repository File window is shown in Figure 251.

Figure 251. About Repository File Window

This window displays the following information:

Internal version. Version number maintained internally at Siebel that changes only when the internal format of the .srf file changes, such as at the time of a major release. It has no significance for customer developers.

User version. Reserved for use by Siebel Anywhere, which maintains this number when kits are created that upgrade the .srf file. The value is read when a version check occurs.

Full compile/Last incremental compile radio buttons. Determines whether the Compile Information fields display information about the most recent full compilation or incremental compilation. If there have been no incremental compilations since the full compilation, the latter option is dimmed (as shown in Figure 251).

When. Date of the last compilation—incremental or full, as specified in the radio buttons.

Machine name. Name of the client computer on which the .srf file was compiled.

Language. Language code of the language specified for user interface translation.

User name. User name (that is, the Microsoft Windows logon name) of the user who compiled the repository.

Repository. Repository name of the repository that was current when the compilation was run, generally Siebel repository.

Tools version. The version number and build number of the Siebel Tools software used to compile the repository. This is useful information for Siebel Technical Services if they are helping you in resolving a problem with your configuration.

Schema version. Database schema version of the database from which the repository was compiled.

File name. Name and path of the SRF file being used internally to define the Siebel Tools application, generally located in C:\Siebdev\Objects.

NOTE: This is not the same Siebel application SRF file that is produced by compilation and distributed to client machines. Siebel Tools itself is a customized Siebel application, so it has its own repository file.
