Setting the Feature for Custom Symbolic Strings

You can change the EnableToolsConstrain parameter in the configuration file for Siebel Composer to allow or to not allow users to create custom symbolic strings. By default, users are allowed to create custom symbolic strings. You can temporarily change this parameter to not allow users to create custom symbolic strings, and then later set this parameter back to its default value.

To set the feature for custom symbolic strings

1. On the Siebel Server computer, navigate to SIEBSRVR_HOME/bin/eng.

   In this directory, SIEBSRVR_HOME is the Siebel Server installation location. (Use the backslash for Microsoft Windows; use the forward slash for UNIX or Linux.)

2. Using an appropriate text editor, such as Notepad on Microsoft Windows, open the swtools.cfg configuration file.

   NOTE:  When you edit swtools.cfg, do not enter any special characters, such as tabs.

3. Change the value in the EnableToolsConstrain parameter as follows:
   1. Set the parameter to FALSE to allow users to create custom symbolic strings.
   2. Set the parameter to TRUE to not allow users to create custom symbolic strings.
4. Save the swtools.cfg file.
