About Modifying Storage Control Files

You can modify a storage control file using either of the following methods:

• Open the storage control file with a text editor program and edit it directly to adjust object definitions or options.

  This approach is useful for making minor adjustments to the database layout but only use it if you have a thorough understanding of the storage control file structure. Otherwise, you could introduce errors into the file and affect the operation of your Siebel application.

• Use the Siebel Database Storage Configurator (dbconf.xls).

  This is a Siebel Microsoft Excel macro tool that allows you to edit the attributes of objects in the Siebel-provided storage control file templates. For further information, see Using the Siebel Database Storage Configurator.
