| Siebel CRM How To – Restrict a Field to only Accept Certain Characters? |
| 2008-05-19 06:02:41 |
Requirement: We have a multilingual application and we have Unicode enabled database but still we would like to restrict user from entering certain characters.We want to prevent user from entering numbers in alpha-numeric fields.Solution:Use charCodeAt function given by Siebel but not documented properly by Siebel. Here I am giving a Pseudo code to explain how it can be used.if (FieldName == "First Name") {for (var i=0;i less than field length ;i++) {var ASCII_code = fieldvalue.charCodeAt(i)if(ASCII_code is not valid code)Error("Not Valid Code");}} charCodeAt() returns the ASCII code of the character that is supplied to it. ASCII code comparison is way faster than the number function that are used to compare strings so we can also use this function where we want to compare two strings by j...

| Navigating Siebel - Via Keyboard! |
| 2008-05-19 06:01:32 |
We generally navigate siebel with the help of mouse. Suppose, one fine day your mouse stops working would that mean that you are stuck and will not be able to work on siebel? I don't think so, to overcome that situation Siebel has provided keyboard shortcuts or acclerators to navigate and perform important functions in siebel so that you are dependent on Mouse to do all your work in siebel.And I have always been a fan of keyboard as it saves you lot of time while working on system. So, here I am presenting list of keyboard shortcuts provided by siebel to perform various functions.Record ManagementNew Record : CTRL + NCopy Record : CTRL + BDelete Record : CTRL + DSave Record : CTRL + SUndo Record : CTRL + U OR ESCSelect All Records in List : CTRL + AReco...

| 2008-05-19 05:56:22 |
Whatever I have posted in this blog assumes that you have fair bit of idea working on Siebel CRM. I noticed there is hardly anything in this blog that can help a newbie. So thought of starting a new Category that is 'Siebel CRM How To'. This Category will include step by step How To's to various things in Siebel CRM. Starting this series is a simple 'How To' of creating a new List of Value and adding to the existing List of Value (LOV). Information about LOV and explaination about the various terms is subject of another post.

| Siebel List of Values - A Strategic Move - Continued. |
| 2008-05-19 05:54:28 |
Last time I said that I will be presenting a Solution to make Required Fields dynamic and SRF independent. So I am back with What I promised.Requirement:Siebel Service Request module was to be implemented because of a new implementation the business requirements were being changed all the time. One Strange requirement was to make the Required Fields of a business component dynamic. So that they can be changed without a release. Now, we all know one way to make a field required is to set the Required Property of the field to true. But that would mean that if I were to change that a new SRF deployment will be required.Solution:LOV's again were the life saver for us. We created an LOV called SRV_REQ_FIELD and in the Display value we provided the names of the fields that we wanted as Required ...

| 2008-05-19 05:53:28 |
List of Values (LOV) is assumed to pretty simple entity in siebel and having very limited use, of showing values in dropdown picklist. But lately I found they can be used in more than one ways. They can be a real life saver. One use I have found of them is to avoid hard coding. Yes, you can avoid hard coding of values and use LOV instead which you can then change without SRF Release.I will list below some real scenarios which I have come across and used List of Values to accomplish task which otherwise would have a real pain while moving stuff different environments.Workflows - Requirement :We were creating workflows that were going to integrate Siebel with some other application with the help of MQ Series. Now, to accomplish that we had to enter two paramerters related to MQ Series in the...

| Siebel eScript – An Overview |
| 2008-05-19 05:49:36 |
Scripting is one of the most important areas in Siebel Development but irony is that it is never recommended to write script in Siebel. Siebel scripting is done in a language known as eScript. eScript shares it’s syntax with JavaScript. If you have worked in JavaScript then you would find it pretty easy to adapt to eScript.eScript can be broadly classified into two categoriesServer ScriptsBrowser ScriptsServer Scripts: as its name suggests is executed on server side. Which means that the user request is sent to server where the scripts is then executedBrowser Script: is actually converted into JavaScript and is executed on client side.Usually scripting is written on objects in Siebel such as Applets, Business Components etc. But the main use of eScript is done to write Business Services....

Timing scripts can come in handy to know exactly how much our code is taking to execute. There can be several reasons for doing this.We are calling several business services in code and we need to know performance of each one.We need to know time our script on business component, Applet is takingWe have several approaches to solve the problem and need to know the exact time taken by each.The code to achieve that is:var fileVar = Clib.fopen("c:\\Timing.txt", "at");var timeVar = Clib.ctime(Clib.time());Clib.fputs(timeVar + ": Starting trace in of code", fileVar);//code which you want to track time…………………………………….…………………………………….timeV...
