Siebel Open UI: As it Happened

If you follow the evolution of Siebel CRM (and this blog), you sure haven't missed Open UI. The latest patch set for IP 2013 bears the number 10 which makes it only 2 months to go for a full year since the last Innovation Pack. Sure you know that IP 2014 is in the making and there will be a lot to tell the round table as soon as it is generally available.



In the meantime, we witness that IP 2013 and Open UI get some good coverage inside and outside Oracle. Today I would like to point out some interesting blogs, articles and news on Open UI - just as it happened. Kudos to all people who are willing to sacrifice some of their private time to share these valuable tidbits of information to make Open UI a success.

Blogs of Note

I am glad that the blogosphere is steadily picking up Open UI. You should bookmark Oracle's Jeroen Burgers blog "Oracle Implementation Advisor". He recently published great articles such as on smooth view transitions and worked with fellow blogger Neel from Siebel Unleashed on enabling the scroll wheel for list applets.

Our good friend Richard Napier from On Demand Education has - in his very own humorous ways - recently documented the Mobile Disco Client with blog posts and videos.

Jason from Impossible Siebel was one of the first to blog about Siebel Open UI and his articles never leave out the prickly technical details - and challenges.

But it's not all fun and games. Rightfully so, problems with Open UI must be pointed out as well, just as Oli recently did on his Siebel Tech blog.

Oracle partner companies like boxfusion consulting or ec4u are specializing and blogging on Open UI as well.

Of course there are even more people contributing to the growing field of Open UI knowledge such as Prasanth from the dedicated Siebel Open UI blog.

If you feel missed out and want your blog listed here or in the Siebel Essentials blogroll, please find the comments.

Update: Please welcome Shiv and his Siebel & Open UI blog to the community.

Oracle Community

With more and more projects and consultants ramping up on Open UI, the Oracle Community (aka forums) is quickly growing into an interesting resource for all things Open UI.

FINS Data Transfer Utilities

תמונה
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

תמונה
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
