Hi, I had a requirement where the client had to display their company Image on pdf when the report was downloaded, the Image I was referencing was on their Company Portal. unfortunately the pdf file wouldn't pick this image, it worked only for HTML downloads. Here is how you do it! You can get Images from websites into your pdf file, but this will include two extra clicks... Go to any report, click the “Printer Friendly” option, and select HTML.    An HTML webpage will be generated for that report, now in that web page in the Menu bar, go to File and select Print…   The below popup screen will be displayed, select “Adobe PDF” and click Print. After you click Print you will have to save the Report, the save as type is automatically set to PDF, enter the Name .    And your pdf is generated will the Company logo. Cheers!

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..!

Even when a Siebel implementation does not need to be SOX compliant, it is still important to develop and maintain processes to reduce errors and fraud. Separation of duties (SoD) is an important security principle in any enterprise application environment. For example, it is often best to prevent Siebel Developers from having administrative access, and to prevent Siebel Administrators from changing code. One potential vulnerability is that command-line server manager connections require a username and password that authenticate against the Siebel database. People with this information can use a third-party tool to access and manipulate the Siebel database. In a production environment, administrators need these passwords, but they should be restricted as much as possible, especially from developers. Scripts invoking the Siebel Server Manager command-line interface can be a powerful tool for automating server tasks, but connecting to the command-line interface on a Windows server r...
