Local DB extract
Detailed information on how to extract a local DB can be found on at this nice blog . While trying to initialize the local DB I got an error msg saying 'An internal error has occurred within the authentication subsystem for the Siebel application. Please contact your system administrator for assistance.(SBL-DAT-00565)'. This was because the DLL parameter under tool.cfg Local header was wrongly set as 'SSCDW8.DLL'. Upon changing this to 'sscdw9.dll' the DB init started working perfect.
