About Workspaces in Siebel Tools and the Siebel Runtime Repository

Workspaces in Siebel Tools and Siebel Web Tools provide a developer user with a sandbox in which to make and test changes to repository data. This feature allows multiple developers to work against the same repository objects in the Siebel database. The feature makes sure that a developer’s work is isolated from that of other developers making changes to either the same objects or other objects of the application. Repository updates made in the developer’s environment can be published and tested without affecting other developers, until all updates are coordinated and published and delivered to the runtime repository for all Siebel Servers and Siebel Mobile Web Clients in test and production environments. For more information, see Using Siebel Tools.

As of Siebel CRM 17.0, the Siebel Repository File (SRF) is no longer applicable, and is replaced by the Siebel runtime repository in the Siebel database. As of Siebel CRM 20.3, the seamless repository framework supports nonextensible object files and a hybrid repository type.

Note: Siebel Tools and Siebel Web Tools always use the standard Siebel Repository provided for the current release. You can optionally configure Siebel Application Object Managers and Siebel Mobile Web Client to use the same standard Siebel Repository for troubleshooting purposes. To do so, set the EnableSafeboot parameter to True for Siebel Application Object Managers and Siebel Mobile Web Clients. For Siebel Mobile Web Clients, you set this parameter in the [InfraObjMgr] section of the application configuration file, such as uagent.cfg for Siebel Call Center.
