Using a Batch File to Convert Strings

You can run the conversion utility from a batch file.

Caution: If the Siebel installation path includes a space, then you must enclose this path in quotes.

To use a batch file to convert strings

1. Navigate to the $SIEBEL_HOME\BIN folder.

2. Enter the following command:

   strconv "object_type" action user_Id password

   For example:

   strconv "Applet" export user_Id password
