Testing Repository Changes
Siebel Tools allows you to test changes to the repository immediately after you compile them. After compiling, local instances of the Web client that are running and are reading the repository file to which you compiled are immediately updated with the changes. For more information about compiling, see Compiling and Testing Object Definitions.
When compiling object definitions and testing the results locally, consider the following:
- You must have a local instance of the Siebel Web client on your machine to test the repository changes locally. See the Siebel Web Client Administration Guide for more information on installing a local instance of the Web Client.
- If a local instance of the Web client is installed but it is not open, you can select an option in the Object Compiler to automatically open a local Web client and read the most current repository. See Compiling Projects for more information.
- For repository changes to appear in local instances of the Web client, the Web client must be reading the repository (.srf) file to which you compiled. For example, if two local Web clients are open and they are both reading the .srf file you just compiled, repository changes will appear in both Web clients. However, if two local Web clients are open and one is reading .srf file A and the other is reading .srf file B, then repository changes to .srf file A will only appear in the Web client reading .srf file A.
- If you cancel the compile process while the Web client is running, the Web client goes into hibernate mode and remains in this state until you either successfully recompile or exit the Web client process. If you successfully recompile, the Web client will then open and read the new repository file. If you want to exit the Web client, right-click the Web client icon in the taskbar and then choose Exit.
