Web Update protection Key is sued by the siebel administrators to update or refresh the static files on the web server like images, css files from the siebel server.
Siebel developers will place the updated versions of these static files in the WEBMASTER sub directory for the siebel server folder. whenever the web server is restarted, it contacts the siebel server and updates them. this can be achieved even without bouncing the web server by issuing the web update protection key. this is particularly useful when we want to refresh the files on multiple web servers.
The value for Web Update protection Key is set during SWSE configuration and is set for the parameter "WebUpdatePassword" in the eapps.cfg file.
hit the below URL to refresh the static files:
http://host:port/application/start.swe?SWECmd=UpdateWebImages&SWEPassword=WebUpdateProtectionKey
