The following tasks can be automated by running the Siebel Tools executable (siebdev.exe
) and other utilities on the command line:
Validate the entire repository
Compile the entire repository
Compare two SRF files
Import from and export to archive (
.sif
) filesConvert custom labels to symbolic strings
Export object definitions for Application Deployment Manager (ADM)
To run a validation for the entire repository, a quite lengthy process, we have to invoke the Siebel Tools executable (siebdev.exe
) from the command line similar to the following example:
C:\SIA8\Tools\BIN\siebdev.exe /d Local /u AHANSAL /p tzU87tr /bv
The /d
switch specifies the data source while the /u
and /p
switches provide the username and password for that data source. Apart from these switches, the /bv
(batch validation) switch will launch the validation utility automatically after Siebel Tools is started.
To compile the entire repository, also called a Full Compile, we use...
