Siebel – Deploying SRF without Server/OM Re-start!!!!

1. Navigate to the Enterprise configuration screen.
2. Click the Component Definition view tab.
3. In the upper Component Definition list, select the component definition you want to reconfigure.
4. Click the menu button and then click Start Reconfiguration.
The Definition State field changes to Reconfiguring.
5. In the lower Component Definitions list, change the Value field of parameters that you want to reconfigure for the component.
In this case, since the SRF name would be the same, we do not have to change the value of the Application Repository File.
6. Stop the object manager.
7. Navigate to the object/enu folder and change the current SRF name to something else. For example, Siebel_bak.srf
8. Copy the new SRF file over.
9. Navigate back to the Component Definitions and commit the new configuration by clicking the menu button and the clicking Commit Reconfiguration.
10. Start the object manager.
Note: When you stop the object manager, all users who will be using the this object manager will be disconnected from this application.
However, if you would like to keep all users active on the object manager and change the SRF file, we recommend giving a new name to the new SRF file.
Here are the steps to change the SRF without disconnecting users from the application and use a different name of the SRF file.
1. Before reconfiguring server component, make sure that any external resources that will be accessed by current tasks running on the existing component configuration remain available. Also make sure that any external resources that will be defined in the new component configuration are available.
Examples of external resources include the SRF and .cfg files that are defined in the component configuration.
2. Navigate to the Enterprise configuration screen.
3. Click the Component Definition view tab.
4. In the upper Component Definition list, select the component definition you want to reconfigure.
5. Click the menu button and then click Start Reconfiguration.
The Definition State field changes to Reconfiguring.
6. In the lower Component Definitions list, change the Value field of parameters that you want to reconfigure for the component.
You can also change the values of fixed parameters, but you cannot change whether parameters are fixed.
Provide the new value for Application Repository File parameters that reflects your new SRF file.
7. After parameter values have been reconfigured, commit the new configuration by clicking the menu button and the clicking Commit Reconfiguration.
The new parameters values will be merged at the enterprise level. To cancel the reconfiguration before it has been committed, click the menu button and then Cancel Reconfiguration.
