Siebel Technology

Integration objects in Siebel add the integration layer to Siebel business objects. They enable a customisable layer that can be used for data operations/mapping before the data reaches the business layer.

Siebel tools has been there since forever. Generally speaking, it has been one of the stable software I have used. It is mature over more than a decade to provide the required tools for Siebel developer.

Siebel provides a nice functionality for query actions. Whenever you query against a specific field, the application automatically suffixes that with a wildcard character - “*”. This will fetch the results for the values starting with the value your specified in the query.

Siebel provides a lot of flexibility for the developer in configuring a solution. Right skills provide absolute power to ensure that the design is usable, performs well, and a scalable to future changes.

Siebel workflows are quite for powerful validation and automation tools. I’ll even go to the extent of recommending workflows as one-in-all solution, as a vehicle for your more complex scripting needs, and for integration of course.

Say you have to update two fields in the Opportunity business component through Siebel Business Service script, what do you do? Hint: You get down to business, as questions later.

I have seen multiple instances and variations of the following error: Error retrieving next record from the database.(SBL-DBC-00104) You will get this error when you navigate to one or more specific views.

If you’re one of those guys working with Siebel and Firefox browser, you’re in luck. You have me for company 🙂 Whenever I do configuration experiments in Siebel tools, I tend to do quite a bit of changes and repeat them as necessary.

“throw” statement in Siebel eScript is inherited from the ECMA script. It will pass the error details back to the caller if there is an error during the script execution.

“Don’t turn on link spec. or force active flags to TRUE” - they say. “It will be a performance hog” - they say. You kept on wondering that it is indeed true.
