This is one of the cool tips that I use often when I launch Siebel. You could automate the login into Siebel Tools and Client (Thick) very easily when you launch.
Follow these steps:
- Right click on the short cut you use to launch Siebel and go to properties
- Under Shortcut Tab and in the Target field, add the /u <username> and /p <password>.
For Example:
“C:\Program Files\Siebel\7.7\Tools\BIN\siebdev.exe” /c “C:\PROGRA~1\Siebel\7.7\Tools\bin\enu\tools.cfg” /u mjones /p siebelguide - Click Apply and Ok
- Launch Siebel now using that same shortcut and you will be automatically logged on into Siebel.
Note that when you open shortcut it will logon automatically to the source that is specified in the config file. Under config file there is parameter called “DataSource”. Here you will have to equal this to either Local, ServerDataSrc or to Sample depending on which one you want to automatically logon to.
Let me know if anyone sees any sees any problems.
There will be adding more tips in the near future. Subscriber to my RSS to get updates.

I used this on for my dev Tools and by default it logins to but sometimes I am required to login to the server. Then I will have to remove the /u /p and then login. So sometimes this can get little annoying.

Hi Mohit,
In this case, what you could do is, create another shortcut pointing to different config files with Datasource as Server. This way you will use a different shortcut to launch siebel tools one for server and other for dev. Hope this helps.

Additionally, I always find /s added to the end (i.e. /s c:\files\trc\Projects.txt) is extremly useful - it will spool all SQL into the file specified.

Hi guys,
you can specify even database string to be connected to within your shortcut:
C:\Program Files\Siebel\7.7\Tools\BIN\siebdev.exe /c C:\PROGRA~1\Siebel\7.7\Tools\bin\enu\tools.cfg /d Local /u mjones /p siebelguide
