Different Files and their usage in Siebel

-

 There are number of files that we come across in Siebel and we don't have idea about their usage and role in our application.

Here in this post we will discuss about all the important files.

Siebel_sia.srf

eapps.cfg

eapps_sia.cfg

gateway.cfg

diccache.dat

Enterprise_server.shm file

application.cfg

lbconfig.txt

Siebns.dat

Siebel_sia.srf

Siebel SRF file also known as Siebel Repository File (SRF) is a compressed, read only file that contains compiled version of Siebel repository. So all the object definitions and scripts that are defined in Siebel Tools are compiled into one single file which is will be used by Siebel Application at run time.

This SRF file is normally at "\root\siebsrvr\objects\enu” with the file extension srf. It is very important that the active Siebel Repository should always be in sync with the SRF.


Please do not get confuse between Siebel repository and Srf file.

The main difference between Repository and SRF is that Repository is the collection of all Siebel Object Definitions in a user readable/editable form. It is stored as database records in one or more Repository tables (S_Repository). Now when these object definitions are compiled through Siebel Tools, the resultant file is the SRF.Now this also contains all the object definitions but as a flat file which will be read at run time.

 eApps.cfg

eapps.cfg is one of the most important file used in Siebel Application.Here we discuss different section contained in eapps.cfg file and what effect they can make in siebel application.

The eapps.cfg file is located in SWSE_ROOT\bin, where SWSE_ROOT is the SWSE installation directory.


[swe]

Language      = ENU

Log           = errors

LogDirectory  = E:\sba81\SWEApp\log

ClientRootDir = E:\sba81\SWEApp

SessionMonitor  = False

AllowStats      = true

LogSegmentSize  = 0

LogMaxSegments  = 0

DisableNagle    = False


Log

Log parameter defines the detail in which we can generate log related to swe error.It can have other values such as Details.e.g. Log = Detail.

LogDirectory

This parameter defines the location of the log directory, whose default location is \SWEApp\LOG (WINDOWS)

ClientRootDirectory

This is the location of SWSE plug-in installation, whose default location is SWEAPP_ROOT.

SessionMonitor

Use this parameter to determine whether to gather statistics on all current sessions and report them in the SWSE stats page. To enable session monitoring, set SessionMonitor to TRUE.

We can view stats page in url by appending _stats.swe

http://url/app_enu/_stats.swe

LogSegmentSize

This parameter determines how large a segment of the log file is in kilobytes. If you set this parameter to 5, the log segment will be 5 KB in size. A value of 0 turns off segmentation.


[ConnMgmt]

EnableVirtualHosts = true

VirtualHostsFile   = E:\sba81\SWEApp\admin\lbconfig.txt


Enable Virtual Hosts = True makes load balancing true for the application.

VirtualHostsFile describes the location of the lbconfig.txt file which have the configuration of load balanced servers.


[defaults]

EncryptedPassword = True

AnonUserName  = GUESTERM

AnonPassword  = #######################

StatsPage     = _stats.swe

HTTPPort      = 80

HTTPSPort     = 443

EnableFQDN          = TRUE

FQDN                = ################################

TrustToken          = 

DoCompression       = true

GuestSessionTimeout = 300

SessionTimeout      = 3420


This section is most important section of this file.

EncryptedPassword 

If the parameter is TRUE, then the password parameter values must be encrypted, and if the parameter is FALSE, then the passwords must not be encrypted.

if the EncryptedPassword parameter does not exist in the eapps.cfg file, then the default behavior is the same as if EncryptedPassword is set to FALSE.

encryptstring.exe utility is use to encrypt the plain text which is available at /siebsrvr/bin.

AnonUserName

This parameter specifies the user name required for anonymous browsing and initial access to the login pages. The user name selected should have access to views intended for anonymous browsing.

AnonPassword 

This parameter specifies the user name password required for anonymous browsing and initial access to the login pages. 

When user first enters the URL of siebel Application,Login page comes only after the authentication of AnonUserName otherwise Server busy error will come.

HTTPPort 

The HTTP port used for Web browser communications. The default setting is the standard port of the Web server in use (80).

HTTPSPort

The HTTPS port used for secure Web browser connections. The default setting is the standard port of the Web server in use (443).

FQDN

Stands for Fully Qualified Domain Name. An example of a fully qualified domain name would be http://oradev.oracle.com.If the Web server receives a request for a URL that does not contain the full domain name, the FQDN setting causes the browser to reissue the request and to add the domain name.

For example,If we hit the URL with IP name http://10.1X.XXX.XX9/app_enu and Enable FQDN =True then it will convert URL to one specified with FQDN parameter.

DoCompression

Specifies whether the SWSE will compress HTTP traffic.Compressing HTTP traffic, where it is feasible to do so, substantially reduces bandwidth consumption.

GuestSessionTimeout

The time, in seconds, that a connection open for anonymous browsing can remain idle before it times out. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).Guest sessions are used for anonymous browsing. They permit users to navigate portions of the site without logging in. In contrast to anonymous sessions, guest sessions are associated with an individual Siebel Web Client. These sessions are opened when an unregistered user starts navigating the site, and they remain open until the Web client logs out or times out due to inactivity.

SessionTimeout

The time, in seconds, from the user's last browser request until the user's connection times out. The default is 900 seconds (15 minutes).Standard sessions are those where users log in using their registered user name and password.

eApps_sia.cfg


The file eapps_sia.cfg is included by eapps.cfg, and extends its functionality by specifying connectivity information for AOMs.


[/app_enu]

ConnectString = siebel.transport.encryption.compression:\\server:server_port\enterprise\AppObjMgr

WebPublicRootDir = E:\sba81\SWEApp\public\enu

SiebEntSecToken = P94################

where ConnectString has format


transport = Networking transport protocol such as TCPIP

encryption = Encryption type such as RSA

compression = Data compression method.

server = IP address or hostname of the Siebel Server (or in the load-balanced case, the virtual IP address as VirtualServer).

server_port = Port number on which the Siebel Connection Broker component (alias SCBroker) runs.By Default it is 2321.



SiebEntSecToken

This is the password used by the Siebel Administrator to refresh application images from the Siebel Server on the Web server without restarting.

gateway.cfg


The gateway.cfg file contains the configuration parameters that determine how access to the

Gateway Name Server is authenticated.


[DataSources]


ServerDataSrc       = ServerServerDataSrc(The data source used when database authentication is enabled)

LDAPSecAdpt        = LDAP(The data source used when LDAP authentication is enabled)


[ServerDataSrc]

Docked                   = TRUE

ConnectString            = Enterprise_DSN

TableOwner               = SIEBEL

DLL                      = sscdo90

SqlStyle                 = OracleCBO

MaxCachedCursors         = 16

MaxCachedDataSets        = 16

ReverseFillThreshold     = 100

FileSystem               = /siebelfs

GatewayAddress           = ############

EnterpriseServer         = Enterprise Name

Siebel Web Service session management

-
  Siebel Web Service session management Using sessions can improve the performance of the web service calls as the session is kept open for subsequent requests.There is no need to login and logoff for each request. There are 4 different session types: None : A new session is opened for each request and then closed after a response is sent out. This is the default. Stateless : A new session is opened for an initial request and the session remains open for subsequent requests. Relogin occurs automatically (transparent to the user) if the session is closed. Stateful : A new, dedicated session is opened for an initial request and the session remains open for subsequent requests. Relogin does not occur automatically if the session is closed. To enable the session management you need to change the following: 1) Add "&WSSOAP=1" to the URL and remove the "UserName" and "Password" arguments from it as well as shown below: Original URL: http:/
