A) Dedicated Client

To enable the Debug Mode menu item

1. Open the configuration file (.CFG) for the application in a text editor.
2. In the [InfraUIFramework] section of the configuration file, set the EnableRestrictedMenu parameter to TRUE.
   For example:
   [InfraUIFramework]
   EnableRestrictedMenu = TRUE

3. Save your changes, and close the file.

The EnableRestrictedMenu parameter (in the [InfraUIFramework] section of the configuration file) controls the display of the Debug Mode menu item.

If this parameter is set to TRUE, then users of that application can see the Debug Mode item on the Tools application-level menu. If this parameter is set to FALSE, the Debug Mode menu item is not visible to users.

B)Thin Client

1. Login to siebel application
2. Navigate to Administration - Server Configuration -->Enterprises
3. Query component 'eCommunications Object Manager (ENU)' in Component Definitions tab (Please note component can change as per siebel application)
