Login Failed in Dedicated Web Client : MVF Issue
Recently I have met with the Problem in form of defect. The Problem was related to Record Visibility in Activity.
There were activities created for SR as a result of Email Response and properly visible in Activity List Applet under SR. We have Pick Applet in SR Applet for fetching all Email related activities. But strangely same activities were not visible in the Pick Applet.

Siebel – Admin Mode Flag
In my last project,we had a requirement of Admin Views, so the admin users if required can change the data from frontend and not going to backend and running update queries.
Admin Views are those views in which all the records are visible to the person who has access to this view irrespective of the position of the person.

EAI Siebel Adapter BS – Upsert Multiple Child Records
EAI Siebel Adapter finds its usage in almost all integration scenarios and business process automation. However, at times we hit upon limitations on its usage as Business Requirements become complex.
There is a bug which you must have encountered while using EAI Siebel Adapter BS. I will explain the issue with an example and a solution to resolve the issue…

Siebel – SIS OM PMT Service
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”.

My Oracle Support Non Flash Version
We all need Professional support one time or the other, no matter, what our role is in a Project Implementation.
Professional Support for Siebel from the vendor has gone from..
Siebel Supportweb (god, I loved it!) -> Oracle Metalink3 -> Oracle’s My Oracle Support

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!).

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.

Siebel – Vanilla Functionality
What is Siebel Vanilla functionality?
Somebody recently asked me this question. Though trivial, it could be quite foxing for somebody new to the Siebel Development community. It is a part of the normal Siebel jargon.

Siebel EIM – USING SYNONYMS
Performance is always a major issue in most of the Siebel Intallations. In a project where large scale EIM Processing is needed, rest assured, Performance would be the from amongst the most discussed topics, at least from the Acceptance Testing phase, if not before!
EIM Data loads can turn out to be for millions of records, and many tens of GBs of Data being imported is a common sight (talking in terms of the Oracle Database Data File footprint). The customer has to be around that size, if he is actually going in for a Siebel CRM implementation I guess!

Siebel – Automatic User Logout
Logging out a user automatically, when the user does not explicitly logoff.
This one came up as a request from NP on GeeksBlogging@dotCOM. I believe this would possibly be a very frequent issue and a common problem in almost all the Siebel Installations. The users generally come from a Sales background. They hardly care how they actually close the Siebel Application. In most cases, they just press the (X) button on top of the Browser window, rather than explicitly selecting File -> Logout.

Siebel – Popup Update Only
Hi all,
I was working with Siebel Multi Valued Links (MVLs) for some of the configuration requirements in our project. Siebel Configuration is a vast world in itself. I always feel I am learning something new everyday!
We generally use MVLs to fetch data through typical “Links” that we configure in Siebel BCs. We once across an interesting requirement which I am sharing with all of you.
Requirement: To suppress the opening of the MVG Pop up Applet for a particular Multi Valued Field (MVF).

Siebel – EAI Siebel Adapter Search Spec
Hi,
I can bet that for anybody who has worked on Siebel EAI, ‘EAI Siebel Adapter’ is not an Alien term. This post is about EAI Siebel Adapter’s Query method.
How to restrict the number of Child records returned in Siebel adapter’s Query.

Siebel EIM – Nomenclature of Custom Column
Previous post regarding new custom columns mapping in EIM table seems very useful for Siebel developers. Especially, the ones that are planning a new move to this territory of Siebel. Brijesh has written it beautifully which you can read from the link below:
SIEBEL EIM – CUSTOM COLUMN MAPPING
I have also applied the same tips given in SIEBEL EIM – CUSTOM COLUMN MAPPING. In one of our implementations, we have number of custom columns in S_ORDER table and have the requirement to update two of the existing custom fields X_TEST_DUMMY_COLS_VALUE and X_TEST_VAL.
