Siebeldev.exe is a powerful utility provided in Siebel Tools, but don’t make full use of it. It can used to do some of our manual tasks of Tools like Import sifs, Export sifs, do Compilation, apply patches, all using the Commandline.

So, we can write a simple batch file with the Siebeldev.exe , its appropriate switches and parameters, and automate these tasks.

Automate Export Sifs from Siebel Tools:

1. Create a ExportSif.bat file.

2.Put below commandline in it and save the file.
c:\Sia80\Tools\BIN\siebdev.exe /c c:\Sia80\Tools\BIN\ENU\tools.cfg /u sadmin /p sadmin /d local /batchexport “Siebel Repository” C:\Sia80\Tools\bin\obj.txt C:\Sia80\Tools\LOG\Export\export.log

3. Create a file “C:\Sia80\Tools\bin\obj.txt”. This will store the Siebel Object name (say Account or Contact bc) to be exported and the export file name. You can put the below line in your obj.txt file and test ,

Business Component,Account,C:\Sia80\Tools\LOG\Export\Accnt_Export.sif

4. Just run the batch file by double click it, and see your exported file in location – C:\Sia80\Tools\LOG\Export\
