Editing the Siebel Tools Configuration File

Platforms: Windows, UNIX, IBM z/OS.

This task is a step in Process of Meeting Requirements for an Incremental Repository Merge. Use this task to perform the required edits in the Siebel Tools configuration file.

To edit the Siebel Tools configuration file

  1. Navigate to the $SIEBEL_HOME\bin\lang_code directory and open the tools.cfg file.

  2. Make the following changes in the tools.cfg file:

    1. Change the SymStrPrefix value from the default value of X_ to SBL_.

      Caution: You must change these values back to the default value after the merge but before modifying the Siebel Repository. It is required that you set the prefix to SBL_ to differentiate between symbolic strings you create and those provided by Siebel CRM. After the merge, to enable you to create your own custom symbolic strings, you must return the prefix back to X_. To do this, see Editing the Siebel Tools Configuration File After the Development Environment Merge.

    2. Make sure the EnableToolsConstrain value is set to the default value of False. If it is not, then set the value to False.

    3. Set the DockRepositoryName value from the default value of Siebel Repository to New Customer Repository.

  3. Save the tools.cfg file.

  4. You do this because incremental repository merge requires this prefix to be set to SBL_ so that all the symbolic strings that are included as part of the New Siebel Repository are inserted into your repository during the merge.
