This task applies only if using Siebel Mobile version 2.x in Siebel Innovation Pack 2016 or earlier. If using Siebel Innovation Pack 2017 or later, then see Setting Up the Host Server for Siebel Mobile.

The following procedure shows you how to set up the host server where Siebel Mobile applications are located.

To set up the host server for Siebel Mobile (Innovation Pack 2016)

  1. After installing and configuring Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE), copy the mobileapplist.lst file from SWSEHome to the host Web server root path.

    For example on Microsoft Windows (IIS), navigate to Local Disk (C), inetpub, wwwroot and paste a copy of the mobileapplist.lst file in this location. On UNIX, copy the .lst file to the Web server root and make sure it supports the .lst MIME type.

    The following table summarizes the Web server paths for different operating systems.

    AIX

  2. Open the mobileapplist.lst file in a text editor.

    An example of the content in the file is as follows:

    {
    "1":{"id":"1","name":"Siebel ePharma 
    Mobile","lang":"LanguageCode","url":"http(s):// webserver_hostname/epharmam_
    LanguageCode/"},
    "2":{"id":"2","name":"Siebel Service for 
    Mobile","lang":"LanguageCode","url":"http(s):// webserver_hostname/servicem_
    LanguageCode/"},
    "3":{"id":"3","name":"Siebel Sales 
    Mobile","lang":"LanguageCode","url":"http(s):// webserver_hostname/salesm_
    LanguageCode/"}
    }
    
  3. Edit the mobileapplist.lst file as follows:

    1. Change LanguageCode to the language in which you want to run the application. For example, change LanguageCode to enu to run the application in English.

    2. Depending on your deployment, use http or https for the Siebel Web server URL.

    3. Change epharmam_LanguageCode and servicem_LanguageCode to (for example) epharmam_enu and servicem_enu respectively.

      When finished, the content in the mobileapplist.lst file appears similar to the following:

      {
      "1":{"id":"1","name":"Siebel ePharma Mobile","lang":"enu","url":"http(s):// 
      webserver.com/epharmam_enu/"},
      "2":{"id":"2","name":"Siebel Service for 
      Mobile","lang":"enu","url":"http(s):// webserver.com/servicem_enu/"},
      "3":{"id":"3","name":"Siebel Sales Mobile","lang":"enu","url":"http(s):// 
      webserver.com/salesm_enu/"}
      }
    4. Save and close the mobileapplist.lst file.

  4. Change the MIME type for mobileapplist.lst as follows:

    1. Open Internet Information Services Manager.

    2. Navigate to the Features view and double-click MIME Types.

    3. Right-click the .lst MIME type and select Edit.

    4. In the MIME Type field, type in text/plain, and then click OK.
