Following is the sample code for solving the above problem statement.

Applet Browser Scripts:-

Event: – Applet_PreInvokeMethod

Language: – eScript

function Applet_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)

{

if(name == ‘NewRecord’)

{

var timemsg = setTimeout(”alert(’Please Fill up all the field value. Otherwise Autosave of the current record will be done!’)”,15000);

theApplication().SetProfileAttr(”AutoSaveNew”,”Y”);

}

return (”ContinueOperation”);

}

Event: – Applet_Load

function Applet_Load ()

{

//var aOppty = this.BusComp();

//var oAccount = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Account”);

//var oCurrCd = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Currency Code”);

//var oName = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Name”);

//var oPrRevDt = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Primary Revenue Close Date”);

If (theApplication().GetProfileAttr(”AutoSaveLoad”)<>”Y”)

{

var timemsg = setTimeout(”alert(’Please Fill up all the field value.Otherwise Autosave of the current record will be done!’)”,15000);

theApplication().SetProfileAttr(”AutoSaveLoad”,”Y”);

}

———————————————————————————————

Bus Comp. Server Script:

Event: – BusComp_SetFieldValue

Language: – VBScript

function BusComp_PreWriteRecord ()
{

var aOppty = this.BusComp();

var oAccount = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Account”);

var oCurrCd = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Currency Code”);

var oName = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Name”);

var oPrRevDt = aOppty.GetFieldValue(”Primary Revenue Close Date”);

this.ActivateField(”Account”)

this.ActivateField(”Currency Code”)

this.ActivateField(”Name”)

this.ActivateField(”Primary Revenue Close Date”)

//These below mentioned ones are the required fields being predefaulted by certain values

If ((this.GetFieldValue(”Account “) <> “”) And (this.GetFieldValue(”Currency Code”) <> “”) And (this.GetFieldValue(”Name”) <> “”) And (this.GetFieldValue(”Primary Revenue Close Date”) <> “”) And (TheApplication.GetProfileAttr(”AutoSaveNew “) = “Y” Or TheApplication.GetProfileAttr(”AutoSaveLoad “) = “Y” ))Then

this.Setfieldvalue( “Account “, oAccount);

this.Setfieldvalue (”Currency Code”, oCurrCd);

this.Setfieldvalue (”Name”, oName);

this.Setfieldvalue (”Primary Revenue Close Date”, oPrRevDt);

TheApplication().SetProfileAttr (” AutoSaveLoad “,”N” );

TheApplication().SetProfileAttr (” AutoSaveNew “,”N”)

this.WriteRecord

}

I hope this has been a nice post.

Presumption:

1) The Business Component to be used for the UI applet should not have any required fields at the Table or BC level itself or All the required fields should be pre-defaulted with some unique values.

2) There should not be any dependency of setting the field value from any other Siebel Objects like: Applet level Browser/Server scripts, Bus comp Browser/Server scripts, Application Browser/Server scripts to the target Business Components.

3) The pre-defaulted values of the required fields (if present) will be visible in the applets and the user then can set the field values according to their needs when and wherever required.

4) In our solution, after loading of the applet or after the new record creation a pop up warning message will be thrown to the user after certain duration (say 20 sec) mentioning that the current record will be saved in the database it its current form. The user need to change the field value within this duration, otherwise the record will be saved in the database in its current state.

I have outlined the basic assumptions, as a part of the Case Study. Also, a brief conceptual background is outlined above. I will present the sample code that we used behind the scenes in the following posts. Till then, you can also think of some solutions and start putting them up in this thread.
