Preparing for Migration by Exposing Hidden Properties

In Release 7.x, certain properties in Siebel Tools are no longer applicable for the Web Client.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.x Web Client, you should expose these properties. Exposing these properties makes the migration of your customizations to Release 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 This value hides properties that are no longer applicable.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.

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the Web Client migration to Release 7.x, reset the ClientConfigurationMode parameter to Web to hide properties that are no longer applicable.
