Dear Anon,

The SiebUnit framework is not distributed, however it is provided for free, as a service to my clients.

This article has a limited audience, but it hopes to bridge the gap from concept to realization, by providing the build components for an experienced architect to implement SiebUnit in your project.

Jason - Very creative concept... btw... do you sell this product?

Its very hard to understand what you are trying to explain but the concept looks pretty good.

If its possible to attached source code that would be easier for us to understand.

One example is eScript framework. Matt (Yet Another Siebel Framework) posted the source code. It took sometime but and I'm already using it in my implementation.

2012-01-17T09:09:34.461+11:00

This indeed only works when invoked from the applet. I got the popup to appear when the applet invokes the WriteRecord method by explicitly calling a method from the Applet InvokeMethod event. Unfortunately for our particular needs, the applet WriteRecord event fires after both PreWriteRecord and WriteRecord on the BC. We need a confirmation message before the record is committed to the database.

Regardless it is a great tip that could likely be applied for certain business requirements.

Nice stuff!

Nice follow up, thank you for this. I wonder if both "traditional" browser script and the jQuery variant will still work when customers switch to the Open UI over the next years.

This always reminds me of my programming professor who said "The best code you ever write is the code you never write."

have a nice day

2011-11-11T15:31:19.291+11:00

I agree. BRP is powerful. however it has some caveats. It doesnt support multiple OMs. So changes from one particular OM doest reflect in other OMs through refresh Cache. So We need a server bounce/Recycle.

So its almost an srf change :(

2011-11-11T07:44:01.401+11:00

The "?" is most likely to be caused by invisible character in your phone string. Check for a line feed at the end of your phone, and that your CRLF is a chr(10).

2011-11-10T21:41:35.787+11:00

Hi,

I need something much more simple, but I can't find any description how to do it. I want the popup applet to close when "OK" is pressed and the method invoked finishes running.

This is not happening for me right now, with Method Invoked set to a custom method for the "OK" button.

Thank you in advance,
Yossi.

Thanks so much for Jason's efforts to create this fantastic blog. Such blog has taken a lot of time but also stored so many priceless Siebel experience.

As his loyal follower, it is my great pleasure to provide more solutions to "impossible siebel problems" in the future.

2011-11-04T02:46:29.682+11:00

I have tried using the expression

IIf(InStr([Work Phone #],GetProfileAttr("CRLF")),Left([Work Phone #],(InStr([Work Phone #],GetProfileAttr("CRLF")) - 1)),[Work Phone #])

everything works fine, only problem now is symbol "?" getting added to phone numbers in some cases.

any suggestions ?

Any premature solution including server config, can become a nightmare after a while =)

You may also find it interesting that Oracle recommends using browser script for client side validation

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E05553_01/books/PerformTun/PerformTunCustConfig8.html

Just be careful that you do not make expensive calls on commonly fired events, and employ a SME to tune your scripts.

Further commentary is available on this subject on Jim Tanner-Uicker's Siebel blog, with contributions by two Oracle employees

Hi Sandeep,

You have to use a script include function to point to your jquery file, and then assign the jquery object to your top object eg. top.$=$;

2011-10-28T11:40:59.284+11:00

This is really great... it is opening new avenues for us to explore. Please keep up this great work.

It would be really great if you could actually show what you mean by

"Download jQuery, and include it into your top object"

and example of both ways of including jquery and external js files...

@beso Without knowing what your complexities are, its hard to offer specific advice.

But generally you could reduce the complexity, by implementing an integration framework that abstracts all your integration routines and handles the caching of your integration calls.

2011-10-25T08:24:31.717+11:00

The short answer is YES. It is best to get support from your vendor to upgrade the ABS/ATI framework.

What's the latest on the ABS/ATI Framework? Is it at all compatible with the ST eScript engine?

Thanks!

2011-10-23T13:05:54.246+11:00

hi, i have been working recently with a very challenging client request. the client wanted a view with 3 virtual applets which were to be populated with a single call to an external WS which would return a gerarchical propertyset. we've managed to achieve this by declaring a property set on the application and with a lot of customization. is there another way to achieve something similar?

Hi Jayadev,

i dont have access to a windows machine atm to test this out, but try getting rid of the spaces in your file path.

replace your "documents and settings" with the dos 6 syntax > "docume~1". you could also try to wrapping your path in quotes.
