A lot has been written about Siebel ASI's. Developers tend to swore by them in order to achieve anything. Despite being so famous, the-mother-of-document siebel bookshelf doesn't have enough sample examples of them. Though there are details about structure of the ASI's. How they can be deployed as web services, about Interface integration objects, etc but still those fascinating examples are missing which helps in quick understanding. If you have already worked on ASI's you can directly jump to comments section for your experience else you can continue to have a look as the sample SOAP message which can be directly fired from your SOAP UI to fetch results. Here i am discussing about OOB siebel ASI, Siebel Contact and its two operations: 1 - QueryById As the name suggest you can query contacts available based on one Input, i.e. RowId. Sample input message for same will look like: 1-4VYGI 2 - QueryByExample  With this operation you can query ...

Finally life has turned to, need of hour,development of MobileApps for siebel and trust me it is as thrilling as watching any bond movie. with new projects come new challenges. So while developing android app for our users we got stuck in one show-stopper issue. The main requirement was to consume a webservice hosted in siebel. On Android, consuming a SOAP web service is more difficult (as opposed to consuming a RESTful web service), since it does not include any libraries to communicate with SOAP web services. Unfortunately you have to manually write the code to consume the service which is not as straightforward as compared to writing in any other Java project. With siebel doesn't giving a direct hosted URL it was more difficult for us to write the code. As an alterate solution we have to write a .net webservice which consumes the siebel webservice. The next issue is to generate the Java classes needed from the .Net WSDL files, and this is where I was coming up short with knowled...

"If everything else fails, try Java" . Going by the notion it is imminent for siebel to support Java business services. Being inherently generous, Siebel also extends its support to send and receive messages by way of JMS servers. I found a doucment which beautifully explains configuring JMS messaging using AQ between Siebel and Oracle SOA suite. This can be downloaded from below link: JMS Messaging Service All said and done Siebel Bookshelf still remains mother of all documentation but for a quick refresh or basic orientation this guide is worth a look.

Want to call one of your contacts/prospects in Siebel without a lot of manual effort? now you can... Here are a few simple steps of how you could integrate Skype with your siebel application. Thank you Bernard for sharing this ! Configuration Steps - (for this example I am going to use the contacts applet) Step 1: Create a custom Business service called 'OS Skype Integration' and assign it to a locked project. place the below code in the PreCanInvokeMethod event of the Business Service function Service_PreCanInvokeMethod (MethodName, &CanInvoke) {     if(MethodName == "GetField")     {         CanInvoke="TRUE";         return(CancelOperation);     }     else if(MethodName == "TransformToSkype")     {         CanInvoke="TRUE";         return(CancelOperation);     }  ...

Like most of you Siebel lovers I too like to integrate anything and everything with Siebel. Here is an example of how you can get NASDAQ updates within your Siebel Application. Here is how you do it! Steps: 1. Create an applet with a Single control. 2. Add the following code to your single control that you have in your applet. Caption String Override: (in frame src tags) ="tickerpanel.asp?COOKIE=S~MSFT~~|S~INTC~~|S~NWSA~~|S~QQQQ~~|S~CSCO~~| S~ATML~~|S~DELL~~|S~NVDA~~|S~RIMM~~|S~MU~~|I~IXIC|I~INDU|I~SPX" name="ticker" scrolling="no" frameborder=0 noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" 3. place this applet in a view and your done! Stay tuned for a more advanced version of this post! Cheers!

Hey folks, Want to have a backup of all those cool and interesting scripts you wrote, but find it too taxing to manually copy each and every script in to a good readable format? Here is a new tool the we have been working on. What it basically does is, it extracts the scripts based on a user given date or a prefix. Any scripts that were created or updated beyond the date will be exported into the excel sheet as well as in an HTML format just like the utility Oracle had introduced to extract scripts for versions 7.7 and earlier. The tool connects to Siebel via the object layer and pulls out the information... Here is a peak at what this tool looks like Main UI HTML Output Click the below icon to download this cool tool..! Cheers!

Hey Folks, Here is an excel spreadsheet I had been working for the past couple weeks. It has been designed to export all the newly created and modified objects beyond a particular user given date. Special features include - - Works on Sample/ Local and Server . - Cool UI features to minimize user effort (Object Explorer, date Chooser, Select File Dialogbox) - Process Status section . This is so the user is not prompted everytime unless a critical error has occured or user intervention is really required. - Data is exported in an easily readable format - Can be very well used for Upgrades to analyze the amount of Repository Customization Interface Detail: Screen prints of the tool - Main Page - Exported Objects View - Click on the below icon to download the Repository Data Retriever (limited downloads). Cheers!

Here is a complete documentation of how to pull Siebel data from an external application(JDeveloper) Cheers!
