Automate Siebel Dedicated Clients and Tools - Episode 4

                So today let’s finish this Siebel Dedicated Clients and Tools Automate thing. Where we left? Aaa…

                Five more shortcuts and we done:

4)      DEV1ServerTools – will log in to DEV1 server Siebel Tools and with user credentials, so modify shortcuts Target:

a)      "way to \siebdev.exe" /c "way to \ tools_dev1_server.cfg" /u user /p user /d ServerDEV1

5)      DEV2ServerClient_user – will log in to DEV2 Siebel Dedicated Client with local srf. and server database and with user credentials, so modify shortcuts Target:

            a)       "way to \siebel.exe" /c way to \ siebel_dev2_user.cfg /u user /p user /d ServerDataSourceDEV2

6)      DEV2ServerClient_sadmin – will log in to DEV2 Siebel Dedicated Client with local srf. and server database and with sadmin credentials, so modify shortcuts Target:

            a)      "way to \siebel.exe" /c way to \ siebel_dev2_sadmin.cfg /u sadmin /p sadmin /d ServerDataSourceDEV2

7)      DEV2LocalTools – will log in to DEV2 local Siebel Tools and with user credentials,  but as you already know this will not work, because you don’t have DEV2 local base, but anyway modify shortcuts Target:

            a)      "way to \siebdev.exe" /c "way to \ tools_dev2_local.cfg" /u user /p user /d LocalDEV2

8)      DEV2ServerTools – will log in to DEV2 server Siebel Tools and with user credentials, so modify shortcuts Target:

a)      "way to \siebdev.exe" /c "way to \ tools_dev2_server.cfg" /u user /p user /d ServerDEV2

So we did it. Now you have on your desktop 8 icons on witch you make just double click (or one if your PC settings are set so) and you automatically enter application.

This all is of course in big scope because all this depends on your system architecture, how many environments you have, how many user credentials you use and so on.

If I will have some spare time (doubt) I will add some screenshots so it will be understandable. The text is in such a bulk because for writing posts I use Word and then just copy and paste the text. This blog editor doesn’t support Word’s line spacing and some other things, but to write post in blog is bigger pain.

Next time I will talk about scripting and what it has to do with Siebel. This is big and interesting topic, because scripting actually isn’t supported by Oracle and they say never to use the scripting, but sometimes there is no other way to implement requirement than just scripting, but scripting has its bad side too.

Hope you still enjoy reading as I am writing.
