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.

Siebel – Symbolic Strings – Usage
Symbolic Strings appear directly in Siebel Tools’ Object Explorer, an independent object. It has a child object of Symbolic String Locale, where you may define the individual translations for all the different languages in use in your project.
In case it is not visible directly, navigate to View -> Options -> Object Explorer tab, and enable the Symbolic Strings object if not already visible.

Siebel – Symbolic Strings
Consider this a brief introductory tutorial on Symbolic Strings in Siebel. Symbolic Strings are from amongst the most commonly used entities in Siebel, especially in Siebel Multi lingual deployments.
They can greatly reduce the job of initializing, deploying, tracking, modifying all the plethora of error/warning messages that you may generally come across in a typical Siebel CRM application.

Siebel – Enable Detailed Logging – Local
Very often we come across scenarios wherein the process is not really clear through the interface exposed to us. We generally need to go into detailed logs at various levels to understand the internal process, and as to which all parameters are flowing at each step in the flow. The server level settings are different. I will cover here, as to how we can enable or disable detailed logging of Siebel processes in our Dedicated, Local or Sample environments. We can use it to understand complex Siebel processes in detail, for eg. eConfigurator and ePricer related flows.

Siebel – Scrolling between records – UP and DOWN
Generally in Siebel Client, we very often have the need to scroll Up and Down among the records. Most of the users would need an easy solution of scrolling UP and DOWN in the records using the normal UP and DOWN arrow keys on the keyboard. Siebel provides an Out of the Box functionality where we use the CTRL + UP or CTRL + DOWN keys to scroll through the records.
I will try to cover here as to how we can customize and modify this OOB functionality such that user can scroll among records using the normal UP and DOWN arrow keys on the keyboard.

Siebel – Adding License Keys to Sample
I am glad to be associated with Geeks Blogging @ dotCOM. This is my first post here.
This is a very generic problem that we all come across. Adding License Keys in Siebel Sample Database. This is at times a little difficult and workarounds have to be used.
There are a number of ways that you can enter License Keys in Siebel:
1) When you are installing Siebel, and try to log in for the first time, it asks for valid License Keys. You can enter multiple license keys at this step.
2) Log into Siebel Web Application. Navigate to Sitemap -> Administration – Application -> License Keys.
3) Log into Siebel Tools. Navigate to Help -> Technical Support -> License Keys

Siebel Tools hangs when checking out objects
Hi,
Now this is strange. I had been running into some problems when I was checking out objects in my Siebel Tools. What used to happen was that I would set an object for check-out. It would show it fine for some time. all the extracts being done fine, all the tables being checked out one by one et al. All of a sudden, the operation would hang.
