There is an issue with Siebel open UI 8.1.1.1 . When you query a record, OpenUI displays records. But you cannot drill-down or edit that record, even though you have all privileges. steps to reproduce. got to any list applet, Click on query, Press "Enter" try to drill-down. This drill-down works only if that record is current record . or Try to navigate by clicking next record, you cannot, you have to use next/previous button Temporary Solution: Instead of pressing enter click on "Go" Button.

In the Administration level, we have options to add files as well as map those files with applets/views/Applications. First we need to add our custom files in Manifest files Now we can map those files with our Application /Applet

There are times when you want to authenticate whether the user-in-context is valid siebel user or not without actually logging into the system. This type of requirement is typical in Mobile Solutions using HTML5 and siebel webservices. Here I unearth one more hidden gem of siebel, " Authentication Business Service ". This magical service authenticates user against siebel irrespective of your security authentication mechanism. Be it database or LDAP it will return you valid siebel user name else invalid user/password error.The method is " Authenticate ".  It accepts three input parameters: 1 - User Name - User Name to be authenticated in siebel 2 - Password - Password of the user 3 - GetPrivateCredentials - Y OR N based on the requirement.  If set to Y it will result user name in "Siebel User Name" output parameter. One can see its usage in " L...
