Making Configuration Changes

This task is a step in Process of Modifying Siebel Objects.

When you check out a project, the project remains locked in the Siebel database on the Siebel Server and in your local database. This prevents other developers from checking out the project. During this time, you can use Siebel Tools to make configuration changes, such as modifying user interface objects, extending business logic, or extending the database.

You can also lock projects locally without checking them out from a server database. For more information, see Managing Projects When You Prototype.
