Format of the Connect String Parameter

The connect string uses the following format:

host="siebel.transport.encryption.compression://host:port/EnterpriseServer/
AppObjMgr_lang" lang="lang_code"

For example:

SiebelApplication.Login "host=""siebel://host/EnterpriseServer/SCCObjMgr_enu"" 
"lang="ENU"", "CCONWAY", "CCONWAY"

The following table describes how to set each variable in the connect string.

Variable Description

transport

Use the default value, tcpip, or leave empty.

encryption

Use one of the following values:

  • none. This value is the default value.

Note: Use Transport Level Security (TLS) as the transport which provides AES256 based encryption and certificate-based trust.

compression

Use one of the following values:

  • none.

  • zlib. This value is the default value.

host

Use the name of the computer where you installed the Siebel Server.

port

Enter the number for the SCBroker port. The default value is 2321.

Modify this value only if you also modify the default value when you install the Siebel Server.

For information about load-balancing with SCBroker, see Siebel Deployment Planning Guide, Siebel System Administration Guide, and Siebel Installation Guide.

EnterpriseServer

Enter the name of the Siebel Enterprise Server.

AppObjMgr

Enter the name of the Application Object Manager that the Siebel client must access. You can enter a custom server component or one of the following predefined server components:

  • ISSObjMgr_lang

  • SCCObjMgr_lang

  • SSEObjMgr_lang

  • SSVObjMgr_lang

For more information, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

The format of the connect string is optional. You can enter only the transport variable and use a period (.) to separate it from siebel. For example:

siebel.tcpip://host/siebel/AppObjMgr_lang

If you specify any of the other variables, then you must use a period (.) as a placeholder for each variable that you do not specify. For example:

siebel...zlib://myhost/siebel/SCCObjMgr_enu
