Restricting the Objects That Developers Can Modify

In some situations, it might be helpful to restrict the objects that developers can modify, according to a date that you specify. If you enable this feature, then the restrictions are applied when the developer does the following:

• Imports or exports a SIF or SDF file. For more information, see Files That You Use to Manage Repositories.

• Directly modifies the Siebel Database.

To restrict the objects that developers can modify

1. Select System Preferences from the Tools menu to navigate to the System Preferences view.

2. In the System Preferences list, set values for the system preferences shown in the following table.

   System Preference Name	System Preference Value
   EnablePerfFieldModification	Set the value to TRUE. This system preference applies edit and copy restrictions to objects.
   Enable Object Version Control	Set the value to TRUE.
   ServerEditRecordTimeStamp	Enter the time when Siebel must start using this configuration. For more information, see Setting the Server Edit Record Time Stamp Parameter.

3. For the changes to take effect, log out of the application and then log back in again.
