Siebel Mobile and Dedicated Web Client Startup Options
If you need to customize the Siebel eBusiness Application shortcuts described in Siebel Client Shortcuts, you can do so by modifying shortcut properties, and changing the value for the Target field.
CAUTION: Do not modify the location displayed in the shortcut property labeled "Start in." Doing so may cause problems when the Upgrade Wizard is run.
The Siebel Mobile and Dedicated Web Clients run an executable program called siebel.exe, followed by various startup options. For example, the shortcut for Siebel Call Center - ENU is defined as shown below. For this example, the only option used is /c, to specify the configuration file.
SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\BIN\siebel.exe /c SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\bin\ENU\uagent.cfg
The siebel.exe program may also be run from an MS-DOS window. In this case, the startup options may be entered directly on the command line.
The available startup options are described in Table 5.
