Bookshelf v7.5: Server Administration After Configuration

Server Administration After Configuration

After configuring Assignment Manager objects and attributes, it is often necessary to recompile the .srf file and restart various server components and tasks. Table 16 summarizes the required administration tasks based on the type of configuration process.

CAUTION: You must recompile the siebel.srf file whenever you add, inactivate, or delete any assignment object types, assignment criteria, and assignment attributes. Make sure all projects are recompiled—not only the locked projects—if you inactivate or delete a top-level object type or assignment criteria.

Table 16. Summarization of Server Administration After Configuration
Configuration Process	Compile .srf File	Restart Assignment Manager	Regenerate Triggers	Restart Workflow Monitor Agent (for dynamic assignment)
Add, inactivate, or delete assignment objects	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Configure assignment objects	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Add, configure, inactivate, or delete assignment attributes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Configure assignment attribute columns	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Add, configure, inactivate, or delete assignment criteria	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Use the following procedure to update your deployment with new configurations.

NOTE: Some steps may not be required for your particular deployment. See Table 16 and the particular procedure for the necessary steps.

To update your deployment with new configurations

Compile changes to the siebel.srf file, if necessary, and deploy it to the server.

Choose Tools > Compile Projects.

In the Object Compiler dialog box, select the project (or projects) you want to compile.

NOTE: For the procedures provided in this chapter, select either the Assignment, or the Assignment (SSE) project, or both.

Select the Siebel client repository file (default is siebel.srf) located in the Objects subdirectory within the Siebel client root directory.

Click Compile.

For more information on when to recompile the siebel.srf file, see Table 16 and Siebel Tools Reference. For information on distributing the siebel.srf file, see Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide.

NOTE: It is not necessary to recompile the siebel.srf file whenever you configure an assignment object or an assignment attribute column, but you must recompile the siebel.srf file whenever you add, inactivate, or delete any assignment object types, assignment criteria, or assignment attributes.

Make sure all projects are recompiled—not only the locked projects—if you inactivate or delete a top-level object type or assignment criteria.

If you are running dynamic assignment, perform the following steps:

Stop the Workflow Monitor Agent server component.

Regenerate triggers by running the Generate Triggers server component.

Release assignment rules (if rules have changed) by clicking Release in the Assignment Rules view.

For more information on releasing assignment rules, see Releasing Assignment Rules.

Restart the Workflow Monitor Agent server component.

For more information on stopping and restarting server components, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.

If your are running dynamic assignment, stop and restart the Assignment Manager server component for the changes to take effect.

Stop the Workflow Monitor Agent server component.

Stop the Assignment Manager server component.

Start the Assignment Manager server component.
