Error connecting to Siebel Client on Local Database

The probable reason we get “User ID and Password invalid” error while connecting to the Local database is mentioned below.

While installing Siebel 8.1.x, the default path it takes is C:\Siebel\8.1\Client_1>, which contains period (.) i.e., a dot between 8 and 1. Also, if we observe the ODBC connections in the System DSN Tab, the entry “SEAW Local Db default instance” has the following string for the database tab Server Name: “C__Siebel_8.1_client_1_local_sse_data_db”. On close observation, we can find that there is a period between 8 and 1 while it should be an underscore i.e., 8.1 instead of 8_1

The solution is to replace 8.1 with 8_1. This resolves the problem while connecting to the Local db, without any further modifications in the cfg file.

The SR “12-1SW8NGD”  mentioned in meta link as a CR but dint find any update on this.
