Protecting Seed Data

The Protect Seed Data user property prevents Siebel CRM from modifying seed data records of a business component. You can set it to one of the following values:

• Y. The user cannot modify or delete seed data records.
• N. The user can modify or delete seed data records.

For example, if you add this user property with a value of Y to the Responsibility business component, then the user cannot modify or delete any seed data responsibility record that starts with zero (0).

you can start the client in one of the following ways to override this user property:

• Append the following parameter to the command line that opens Siebel CRM, as defined in the properties dialog box for Siebel CRM shortcut in Windows:

  /editseeddata

• Append the following parameter to the UNIX command line that opens Siebel CRM:

  /editseeddata

You can configure Siebel CRM to create a new instance of this user property, but not to modify the value for it or deactivate it.
