About Web Tools

Oracle is gradually migrating from Siebel Tools to Web Tools to simplify and expedite the process of configuring Siebel Business Applications. Web Tools is a Web-enabled application that runs on a server, and you access it in a browser by using a Siebel Open UI client. Siebel Tools is a stand-alone application that runs on Microsoft Windows.

In Web Tools, you currently have access to some of the functionality in Siebel Tools, so you can use Web Tools to perform some of the tasks that in the past you performed in Siebel Tools. In both Siebel Tools and Web Tools, you need to be added to the database to access these tools. In addition, for Web Tools, you need to have the Composer Administrator responsibility to access the Workspace Dashboard to perform developer or configuration operations. To learn more about workspaces in Web Tools, see Setting up Web Tools.

Using Web Tools, note that:

• You must ensure that the Workspace features are enabled on the environment before you work on Web Tools.

  For more information about how to use the Workspace feature in Siebel Tools, see Using Workspaces in Siebel Tools.

• Web Tools has the same client requirements as other Siebel Open UI clients. For more information, see Deploying Siebel Open UI.

NOTE:  In Innovation Pack 2017, Web Tools must be run using the ENU language parameter. Full translation for Web Tools is planned for future innovation pack releases. The Siebel Bookshelf is available on Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/siebel-087898.html) and Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. It might also be installed locally on your intranet or on a network location.
