Editing the SWSE Configuration File (eapps.cfg)

The SWSE configuration process updates the eapps.cfg and eapps_sia.cfg files in SWSE_ROOT/bin. The same files are used for all deployments.

These SWSE configuration files contain configuration information that you entered during the configuration of the SWSE, including identity and connectivity information for the Application Object Managers, and login and security settings.

You can modify the settings in the eapps.cfg and eapps_sia.cfg files by recreating and reapplying the SWSE logical profile, or in some cases you can just reapply the SWSE logical profile. For more information, see Process of Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

Alternatively, you can manually add or modify selected optional parameters in these files to affect all of the Siebel applications or selected applications. For example, you might do this to tune the performance of Siebel Business Applications. (A manually edited file might then become out of sync with the SWSE logical profile.)

Other related files might also be used in your deployment. The file eapps_sia.cfg is included by eapps.cfg and extends its functionality by specifying connectivity information for Application Object Managers for additional applications not specifically defined in eapps.cfg. In general, documented information about the eapps.cfg file also applies to eapps_sia.cfg.

For detailed information about the structure and parameters of the eapps.cfg file, see Siebel System Administration Guide. For information about security and authentication parameters in the eapps.cfg file, see Siebel Security Guide. Most of the information also applies to eapps_sia.cfg.

This topic is part of Additional Tasks for the Siebel Web Server Extension and the Web Server.

To edit the eapps.cfg or eapps_sia.cfg file

1. Open eapps.cfg or eapps_sia.cfg, which are located in SWSE_ROOT/bin, using a text editor of your choice.
2. Modify settings in the file. Save and close the file.
3. Stop and restart the Web server, as described in Requirements for Stopping and Starting the Web Server.
