Siebel – Installer hangs midway
In my website statistics, I see somebody trying to find a solution to the above problem. The Siebel Installer starts, when you start an installation. However, it doesn’t complete and it hangs somewhere in the midway. I write this just when I was having the exact same problem today (I hope that explains the smiley which opens this post!).

What is Google?
Hi all, it’s such a nice feeling to be back.
All of us must have observed the Advanced Query feature recently enabled on the Google Search Engine. Whenever you start typing in a query, Google automatically shows the top queries related to your search. There is an option to enable/disable this feature though, in the Google Preferences in case you don’t like it.

Siebel – Case Insensitivity (CIAI) Wizard
CIAI stands for Case Insensitive and Accent Insensitive in Siebel. This can be called the first post on GeeksBlogging@dotCOM on Siebel 8 New Features.
I had discussed about some traditional methods of controlling Case Sensitivity in Siebel queries. However, in version 8.0, Siebel has introduced a new feature of the CIAI Wizard which goes a step further in controlling this functionality. This has been carried forward in Siebel 8.1 albeit with some minor modifications.

Oracle VM Templates for Siebel CRM
In a normal case, to set up a Siebel CRM solution on a server, we would first need to separately set up the Server Operating System, Database Server and Siebel CRM. This could be quite a task and could take substantial time and resources. Why not follow the easy way out?

Siebel – Run Case Insensitive queries
This is a nice tip I ran across. All the Siebel Developers use Siebel Tools and Siebel Web Client extensively. And, each one of us run over a hundred queries daily. However, when querying for some data, for eg. a Business Service Name in Tools, Siebel generally demands we enter the correct case. To streamline the process and improve productivity, I continuously keep making minor modifications in my environment settings.
