Expose hidden objects in Siebel tools

Here is an interesting tip,

The tools.cfg file has a parameter called ClientConfigurationMode = Web by Default if this parameter is set to All i.e ClientConfigurationMode = All. Siebel exposes its hidden objects in tools.

For example:

1. When creating an applet thorugh the Applet wizard. The below page will appear if the value in the tools cfg file is set to All

2. Right click on any Object that can be scripted. The options in the menu are more that what you would see otherwise.

When the user clicks on Edit Scripts, the Script editor shows a whole new range of eventmethods which were hidded.


[Update]

Notice the two extra tabs that show up in the View -> Options

one is the Applet designer where you can edit the size of your applet and the other one in a Runtime tab which shows the runtime parameters that are being passed.

There are still more objects and features that are exposed by setting this parameter to All and yet to be explored by me :)

  1. Hi,

    this parameter is actually intended when you upgrade from Siebel 2000 (the client-server architecture) to Siebel 7 (the web architecture) so you can see the "Siebel 2000" properties such as the view sectors and Applet Scripts (which you had to manually migrate to Applet Server Scripts or Applet Browser Scripts).

    Just to ensure everyone knows what this cfg parameter does - my 2 euro cent

    have a nice day
