Modifying the Configuration File for the Siebel Client
This task is a step in Process of Adding Users. You use the Siebel client to add users. To use the Siebel client, you must modify the configuration file for the Siebel client so that it references the correct Siebel database. To modify the configuration file for the Siebel client
- Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to open the following configuration file:
C:\ORACLE_HOME\release number\Client_1\BIN\ENU\configuration file
For example:
C:\Siebel\8.2\Client_1\BIN\ENU\pmanager.cfg
The Siebel client for each Siebel application references a specific configuration file. In the NREC example, you modify the Partner Portal application. The pmanager.cfg file is the configuration file for the Partner Portal application.
- To set the data source, do one of the following:
C:\ORACLE_HOME\release number\Client_1\local\sse_data.dbf
For example, C:\Siebel\8.2\Client_1\local\sse_data.dbf .
- If you are prototyping and prefer not to modify the local database, then you can use the Sample database. Do the following:
C:\Siebel\8.2\Client_1\
In this situation, you set the ConnectString to the following value:
C:\Siebel\8.2\Client_1\sample\UTF8\sse_samp.dbf -q -m -x NONE -gp 4096 -c40m -ch60m
For more information, see Prototyping with the Sample Database.
- Save and then close the configuration file.
