SIEBEL remote application in readonly mode

If you have normal access using a Web client, then your .dbf local file may have a "read only" NTFS attribute

Hi,

what do you mean by normal access? And what kind of accesses can we have?

Thanks & Regards,

You looks like expecting NOT to be in "read only"...so I assumed you tried accessing SIEBEL from a Web Client and had no problem to issue read-write operations on it.

A SIEBEL remote application is a unwired app that runs on its local db and synchronized from time 2 time to the SIEBEL server (The synchronization process should be very fast)

Hi,

Iam aware of the SIEBEL remote application and the processes of synchronization to server for the data to be transfered from local to server and vice-versa.

But the problem here out is that the local siebel application is opening in readonly mode and hence i was not able to make any changes in the local application.

Hence, I would like to confirm if there are any settings that need to be made in the .cfg file or somewhere else?

Thanks & Regards,

There are NO cfg parameters that I am aware of that would lead to a "read only" behaviour...except may be in the ConnectString of your [Local] section (or the one used for the Remote app you are launching)

Can you post here:
-The Shortcut command line of your remote app
-The [local] section parameters for this app

Hi,

Please find the details below

Shortcut:
C:\Siebel\7.7\WEBCLI~1\BIN\siebel.exe /c C:\Siebel\7.7\WEBCLI~1\bin\END\epharma.cfg

Local Section of cfg:


[Local]
ConnectString            = C:\Siebel\7.7\WEBCLI~1\local\sse_data.dbf  -q -m -x NONE -gp 4096 -c25p -ch35p
TableOwner               = SIEBEL
DockedDBFilename         = CHANGE_ME
DLL                      = SSCDW8.DLL
SqlStyle                 = Watcom
MaxCachedCursors         = 32
MaxCachedDataSets        = 32
ReverseFillThreshold     = 100
CaseInsensitive          = FALSE
InsensitivityFactor      = 2
DockTxnsPerCommit        = 500
DockConnString           = emasfadbo51
ChartServer              = localhost:8001
ChartImageFormat         = png
AutoStopDB               = FALSE
EnterpriseServer         = ENT1
RequestServerName        =
UseCachedExternalContent = TRUE
DSHashUserPwd             = True
DSHashAlgorithm          = RSASHA1

The ConnectString does not has a "-r" read only option to explain your problem :-(

Please try the exact same Shortcut to connect to the "Server" datasource and confirm that you can update some "Server" data...otherwise this is only a matter of using a "read only mode" SRF

Hi,

 can you please provide me the details how we can see if the SRF is opening in readonly or not? If yes, how can we change the mode of th srf?

Thanks & Regards,
Sarat.

Hi Paul Hariis,

Thanks a lot.That worked!! I commented out the component name parameter and it worked.

Thanks & Regards,

I'm glad it worked.

However,  I would recommend you view it as a diagnostic aid rather than a long-term fix.

The underlying cause is that your local set of components is out-of-date according to the Siebel Anywhere configuration.    Using e.g. an old srf could cause lots of problems with things like synchronisation which is why Siebel Anywhere makes the session read-only if parts of the configuration are out of date.

I would suggest you research the correct versions of you components and ensure you have them installed and also figure out why Siebel Anywhere sent you a set of version requirements but was not able to send you the right components to go with them..
