Producing a New Custom Configuration File

NOTE:  You do not need to perform this procedure if you are performing a production environment upgrade and you have a development environment, because you already performed it (producing a new custom configuration file, custrep.dat) for the development environment. However, you must perform this procedure if you are performing a production environment upgrade and are upgrading without a development environment.

The repository merge process you performed during the development environment upgrade merged your configuration changes into a new custom configuration repository. You must now compile a new Siebel repository file (.srf) from this repository.

NOTE:  If you intend to deploy your Siebel repository file (SRF) in more than one language, set the Tools Language setting and compile an SRF for each language. For information about how to compile an SRF for a specific language, see Global Deployment Guide.

To compile a new .srf file

  1. Using a new Siebel Tools development workstation, connect to the database against which you ran the merge, and then open your new customized repository by choosing File > Open Repository.
  2. Select "Siebel Repository."
  3. Choose Tools > Compile Project.
  4. Verify or add the following information in the Object Compiler dialog box:
    • Select All Projects.
    • The name of the output Siebel Repository (.srf) file (the name for your custom configuration .srf file).
  5. Click Compile.

After the compilation process has finished, distribute the new .srf file to each of your development Siebel Client workstations. For information about how to distribute a new .srf file, see Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide.
