Siebel – SIS OM PMT Service

by Madhvi Arora

---

There are lots of vanilla business services available in Siebel which can be used to configure any process and this helps in avoiding scripting.

One of these services I came across is “SIS OM PMT Service”.

People who have worked on Order Mangement module must be aware of this service.

This service is extensively used in Order Management Process. Both its methods as well as its  user properties are utilized in Order Creation Process.

But this service can be used in other modules as well.

It has various methods which can be used are:

Get Profile Attribute

Invoke BC Method

Refresh Business Component

Set Profile Attribute

In this post, I will discuss method “Refresh Business Component” of this service.

As clear from its name, it is used to refresh the Business Component.

In most of scenarios if we update some field or insert new record, UI is not refreshed with that data. We explicitly need to fire blank query either in our script or on UI to refresh UI. Instead of doing this we can use this Method to do so.

The required input arguments to this service are:

Business Object Name—> The name of the BO in which this data needs to be refreshed

Business Component Name—>The name of the BC where refresh is required.

This can be used in both script as well as workflow.

I will discuss the example of workflow:

This is a sample workflow which is used to update account status.

The detail description is as follows:

1. Query For Record: Siebel Operation Step with operation Query is used. Here row_id has been passed in Object Id.
2. Record Found: Decision Box is used to check the record which needs to be updated exists in system or not .Here check is made with the help of Process Property “Siebel Operation Object  Id”. If record is present, then Siebel Operation Object Id will not be null.
3. Update Account Status : Siebel Operation Step with operation Update is used. Here row_id has been passed in Object Id.
4. Refresh Record: This step uses BS “SIS OM PMT Service” with method “Refresh Business Component”.

Since here I am updating Account Status in Account Screen, the values of input arguments are:

Input Argument	Type	Value
Business Object Name	Literal	Account
Business Component Name	Literal	Account

Try this it will work.

Please share your valuable comments.
