Migrating Applets and Views

---

To transform your customized applets and views to corresponding Web Client applets and views, you can use either the Web Client Migration Wizard or the Web Layout Wizard to select the model applets and views that your customized applets and views should be based on. The model applets and views determine the Web layouts, including the layout of controls, of your migrated applets and views. The Web Client Migration Wizard automatically selects the appropriate model applet based on the applet type.

To determine which wizard you should use, consider the degree of control that you need for the migration process.

• Web Client Migration Wizard. Use the Web Client Migration Wizard if one model applet of each type and one model view of each type meets your needs, and you have the following requirements:
  • You want to migrate your applets and views in large batches
  • You want all applets of a type to have one Web layout
  • You want all views of a type to have one Web layout

    NOTE:  You should use the Web Client Migration Wizard to migrate customized and new applets and views to the Web client.

• Web Layout Wizard. Use the Web Layout Wizard if you have the following requirements:
  • You want to migrate your applets and views in multiple batches.
  • You want to use more than one model applet for each applet type.
  • You want to use more than one model view for each view type.

    For information about using the Web Layout Wizard, see Siebel Tools Reference.

The migration wizards standardize the display of applets and views, minimize the number of templates required and the cost of creation and maintenance, and simplify application-wide modification and upgrade processes.
