Siebel Web Client Shortcuts

The Siebel Web Client installer creates shortcuts in the Siebel program folder for the modules that you have installed. For Siebel Business Applications, separate shortcuts are installed for each installed language. Which shortcuts are installed depends on your installation choices and is also subject to the settings in the siebel.ini file at the time of installation. Most of the shortcuts are installed in the program group (program folder); some are installed in the startup group.

For information about customizing the shortcuts or creating new ones, see Siebel Web Client Startup Options and Creating Custom Siebel Application Shortcuts.

Siebel application shortcuts are created by the Siebel Web Client installer. When you run a shortcut to start a Siebel application, you can connect to the Siebel database (for LAN-connected users of the Siebel Developer Web Client), or to an initialized local database on the local computer (for Mobile Web Client). Each application shortcut loads the Siebel configuration file for that application; for example, Siebel Call Center uses the file uagent.cfg.

Where the sample database has been installed on the local computer, you can log in and connect to the sample database, using predefined demonstration users. For example, CCHENG is a demo user for Siebel Call Center. Many other demo users are available in the sample database that illustrate a particular Siebel application as it would appear for a user with certain predefined responsibilities. For more information about these users, see Siebel Demo Users Reference.

Siebel Application Shortcuts

Several Siebel application shortcuts are created in the Siebel Web Client program folder for Siebel Business Applications. All demo applications use the sample database. You can create shortcuts for any valid Siebel application for which no shortcut is created by the installer.
