This topic discusses how to enable the workspaces in Siebel Tools and edit the repository objects.

To enable the workspaces in Siebel Tools and edit the repository objects

1. Enable the workspaces by running the EnableWorkspace utility.

   For more information on how to enable workspaces, see Enabling the Workspaces Mode for Siebel Tools.

2. Log into the Siebel Tools environment.

   By default, the MAIN workspace or the last-modified workspace opens at the last-updated session.

3. Open the Workspace tab to view the existing workspaces.
4. Create a new workspace or edit an existing one.

   To create a new workspace, select the Workspace menu, select the Create menu option, enter all required values, and click the OK button.

   To modify an existing workspace, select a workspace in the Workspace Explorer pane, right-click and select the Open option.

5. Modify, insert, or delete any repository object as required.

   NOTE:  Users can modify an object without locking that object.

6. Perform the Checkpoint process to check the changes that you just made by selecting the Workspace menu bar and the Checkpoint option.
7. After all changes are checked, run the Rebase process with the parent workspace by selecting the Workspace menu bar and the Rebase option.
8. Confirm that the Rebase process completes successfully.
9. Navigate to the Conflicts Resolution view if this view is not displayed automatically.

   By default, the values in the From Version Value list are committed to the target workspace's To Version Value list during the Rebase process.

10. Optionally, override the values in the To Version Value list and select the Override option.
11. Resolve all conflicts as needed.
12. Save your record.
13. Perform the Checkpoint process on the rebased workspace.
14. Click the Finish button.
