Get and Set value of Profile Attributes Profile Attributes from the Application

The other day I was doing a development task related to scripting. I was using a lot of Profile Attributes in my logic. However, I had to put alerts in my code to check whether the profile Attributes were being set correctly. I had to revisit the code a lot of times. That's when I came accross this trick on Siebel Unleashed.

javascript:alert(theApplication().GetProfileAttr("Login Name"))


Place the above code in the address bar of your Siebel Application as below and hit Go.













A popup is displayed with the value of the Profile Attribute.













You can go either a GetProfileAttr or even a SetProfileAttr

 javascript:alert(theApplication().SetProfileAttr("TEST", "Only Siebel"))

This trick can very well be used for debugging purposes.

Cheers!

FINS Data Transfer Utilities

The best thing while working on siebel is you are never short of options. Recently we had requirement of updating a Service request from contact. Finally we did that using "EAI Siebel Adapter" business service. However during that time i came across another business service "FINS Data Transfer Utilities" popularly known as DTU business service. As i was not having prior knowledge of it going by the rule of not learning swimming lessons while drowning i decided not to go for it. Lately i have tried to explore this service and trust me it can do wonders. Here is a sample example update of Service Request from contact. We need to follow below steps in order to understand strength of this business service. 1 - Navigate to Site Map. Go to Administration - Application -> Data Map Administration tab. Create a new Record with following options: Name: Service Request Test Source Business Object: Contact Destination Business Object: Service Request Here the source business

Profile Attributes and Open UI

Yes, Profile Attributes! As the ever attentive, up-to-date Siebel CRM expert that you are when you read this, you know that in Siebel Open UI (since version 15), it is no longer allowed/supported to  set  Profile Attributes from browser-side script. But  getting  them is not a problem, since the  GetProfileAttr  function works perfectly fine. Recently I found a few vanilla Profile Attributes that came quite handy in my work in Open UI JavaScript: Navigation Type : stores the navigation type such as "NAVIGATION_TAB" ActiveViewName : does what it says on the tin IsOpenUI : returns "1" when the application runs in Open UI Is SUI Theme : when "TRUE", the application theme is Synergy (aka SUI) Position:  returns the currently active position Primary Responsibility Name : guess what this one is… Profile Image : returns the URL of the user's profile image Org.Name : returns the name of the user's organization Here's a sample line of
