About the eapps.cfg File

The Siebel Web Server Extension configuration file, eapps.cfg, is divided into sections that can be used to configure Siebel Business Applications globally or configure individual applications. These sections are described in the following topics. Several parameters can also be manually input to control security, specify the ports used for Web server communications, and perform other operations.

The eapps_sia.cfg file is also provided and is structured similarly. Some application-specific parameter sections are located in eapps_sia.cfg instead of in eapps.cfg. Much of the information about eapps.cfg applies also to eapps_sia.cfg.

Both eapps.cfg and eapps_sia.cfg are updated through configuring the SWSE. Although you can enter values manually for parameters in these configuration files, the recommended approach is to configure an SWSE logical profile using the Siebel Configuration Wizard and then apply the SWSE logical profile using the SWSE Configuration Wizard. This method reduces the possibility of introducing errors into these configuration files.

For information about configuring and applying an SWSE logical profile and about editing the SWSE configuration files, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
