New Year's Day is every man's birthday.  Cheers to New Year with another chance to get it right.  With Sun settling in and 2k12 memories getting recycled i wish you and your loved ones a very happy and prosperous new year. May you get less bugs and more incentives. I am going for a new assignment and hope it will be on Open UI.  Resolution or no resolution again wishing you a very bombastic new year. Happy 2k13!!

A one liner solution for requirement to find out the date difference between two different dates in eScript: function Service_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName, Inputs, Outputs) { var Date1 = new Date("12/22/2012"); var Date2 = new Date("12/23/2012"); TheApplication().RaiseErrorText( "Date1 =" + Date1 + "\n Date2 = " + Date2 + "\n Date Difference in Days = " + (Date2.getTime() - Date1

I am back with a very basic requirement which might looks very easy, but the solution might not be that easy to implement. Requirement: I have a Service Request form applet where I have following fields exposed on the UI: Severity - LOV field values: a) 1-Critical b) 2-High c) 3-Medium d) 4-Low Commit Date - Date Time field Depending upon the Severity, being set by the user, system

In order to change the look and feel of the applet or UI, we have to add some JavaScript plugins to the applet This is the very first step in siebel open UI customization. Now lets take a look on that. TO achive this we are using some user properties Physical_Renderer Lets give its value as MyRenderer 1) Create a new directory called "custom" under the directory              " D:\<file system>\client\PUBLIC\enu\IB2012_20\SCRIPTS\siebel" 2) Copy your custom js file lets say  "myUI.js" to the following directory                "D:\<file system>\client\PUBLIC\enu\IB2012_20\SCRIPTS\siebel\custom" Next step you have to update the manifest file. To do that Open the file "D:\<file system>\client\OBJECTS\custom_manifest.xml" Add a new key in the following section, <PLATFORM_KEY_SPECIFIC><PLATFORM Name="Desktop">: <KEY Name = "M...

With winters approaching hibernation starts and efficiency dips (even though its below par through out the year). But still issues never stop. Recently while working on standard interactivity portal we have written script on BC which was used in both HI as well as SI application. However typical business requirement forced us that this piece should be executed only on SI mode of the application and not on the HI mode. The real trick here is to identify in which mode of application you are working on. With some support from Google we were able to find its-another-mystery-service-type business service which is used extensively but less talked about. " Web Engine State Properties " is the magic service here. Below piece of code can help you find the mode. var sInputs = TheApplication().NewPropertySet(); var sOutputs = TheApplication().NewPropertySet(); TheApplication().GetService("Web Engine State Properties").InvokeMethod("IsHighInteractive",sInputs,sOutputs...

As an addendum to my previous post here i publish a mini symbolic string locator . It can help you to identify at what all places any particular symbolic string is being used. As a part of beta release it searches only at the Applet(List + Control) level. It is available in Downloads section also. This can be of real help in scenario when you are asked to modify any existing symbolic string value and you have to look at objects to compile. The advantage of this tool is you don't have to open any sort of siebel client on your machine while running it. Only you have to remember the DSN name, the one given in the CFG for local client. It takes two parameter as input. Local DSN = The DSN name of your siebel local client and Username/Password. Symbolic String = The symbolic string to search. The Objects sheet gives you flexibility to search the limited objects. The output for each object type is captured in respective object sheet.  If it errors out after giving correct...

In old days siebel needs to communicate with server asynchronously. That means when you step out from a record it should save with out any page refresh. At that time there were no browsers supports this feature. But Internet explorer have such a feature which is implemented with the help of ActiveX. xmlHttpRequest can sent with the help of ActiveX. Later JSON (Javascript Object Notation)&Ajax  (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)are replaced this technology and it is world widely accepted. Ajax can communicate with server asynchronously that means with out page load or refresh the data can be sent to or retrieve from server.  But there is another problem every browsers have there own implementation on this ajax. If you are making any web application with ajax you need to take care all these browsers separately. First you need to identify the client browsers and then invoke their technology to send data to our server. jQuery comes with cross browser solutions. If you add jQuer...

We can easily customize open UI to beautiful website with heavy data that can be loaded in any browsers. Since Open UI support jQuery as well as HTML 5 we can easily develop mobile application also with out approaching any mobile web developer. What are the prerequisites for studying these things?  -> HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript ->jQuery (Javascript Library) ->HTML 5 (Optional) If you have some HTML/ Javascript background you can easily learn jQuery & HTML 5. Else you need to study the basics of HTML/CSS/Javascript You can learn it from here 1. W3Schools                                           Learn HTML                           ...

Issues are multifaceted. They can teach and piss you off at the same time. Recently we faced a simple-cum-silly issue while changing the symbolic string. I have modified the string value of existing string but to my surprise the new value was not getting reflected in the applet. It is only after the compilation of Applet,where this symbolic string is being used, changes were reflected. This is because objects may store the string name rather reference. Ideally the compilation of symbolic string should have sufficed but unfortunately we have to compile all the underline objects where it is being used in order to confirm the change. This gives rise to bigger question how to know at what all places any particular Symbolic String is being used. Repository search can aid but again it can force you to wait for ages. I am in process of creating a tool which will take any Symbolic String as Input and will list all the objects where it is being used. Hope to put for...
