Siebel Admin Mode Flag – II – Issue Log
In the last post I described about Admin Mode Flag. However, the Admin mode flag is not always the Best way to go forward. It also comes with lots of perils of its own.
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.

Siebel – Why Upgrade? – Part I
Hi all,
I am back to Siebel Technical Stuff after a long time. I recently worked as a part of a Siebel Upgrade Project for one of my clients.
Siebel Upgrade is a version update methodology supported by Oracle. The Customer can easily upgrade from an older version of Siebel to a higher version.
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 – Left, Right and from the Middle
Extracting a sub string from a lengthy string in Siebel. What is the best solution you can think up for this typical problem? I know, I know, you and you colleagues have done this thousands of times before. But, have you ever successfully done it without using a single line of scripting?!!
Now, it becomes interesting!
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.

Following is the sample code for solving the above problem statement.
Siebel – Merge Records – Checklist
I call this Part III, and concluding part of a series of my posts on the Merge Records functionality in Siebel CRM. You may want to take a look at the previous 2 parts below:
Siebel – Merge Records functionality
Siebel – Automating Merging Records by script – II
Though this looks like a very interesting and useful utility from the face of it, it can be dangerous too.
Siebel – Fetch Active view properties – III
I will discuss a practical example, and the corresponding Inputs as a usage example for the “FINS Data Transfer Utilities”. If you have not already done so, I would suggest going through the previous posts for a better understanding:
Siebel – Fetch Active view properties
Siebel – Fetch Active view properties – II
Siebel – Fetch Active view properties – II
We discussed about fetching the values from the active view in my post yesterday.
However, I also felt that it was a very crude way of doing it. We can only get the information we need, by writing a small script for it. Moreover, the information was very limited.
