Siebel Technology

Joins in Siebel are well-known. In fact, conversations and most interviews will begin like this: Interviewer: Could you please share examples of your Siebel work that added significant value to the customer’s business?

Alexander Hansal covered a recent enhancement to the Siebel Tools - the code editor can display the line numbers and make code blocks collapsible. Though anyone saying he loves coding in Siebel deserves to be shot and drowned, I do welcome any *change* to the status quo that can improve the life of Siebel developers.

What do you do when you need a filter, and a slightly different behaviour, as compared to what is provided by the base BC in Siebel? If you have been a good citizen of Oracle, you will enable search specification on the applet.

After installing a recent patchset, Siebel HI developer client started throwing an unexpected error message for mobile clients. The message simply said – Your version of the Siebel High Interactivity Framework for IE, required for use of this Siebel application, may not be current.

One of the persistent requirements that I have seen over years in Siebel is to tag editing rights to specific user roles. A related requirement is to have the fields required for a specific group of users.

If you are a Siebel developer, you have used Interactive SQL (iSQL) client one too many times for sure. Also known as iSQL Anywhere or SQL Anywhere, this is a client supplied by Sybase and is a small utility that sits in the BIN folder of both Client and Tools folders of the local Siebel install.

When you install v8.1.1.11 the first thing that you observe is that the Siebel application does not start up properly . You will eventually find the solution, and want to move on – but Siebel Tools seems to take forever to do the compilation.

I don’t really use Siebel Sample client application very well. Although Siebel Sample Tools is referenced multiple times in a week/month, Siebel client does not find the same amount of use.

You are happy that Siebel 8 supports Windows 7. You install a fresh instance of Windows 7, Siebel on top of it. And, you will see none of our beloved Siebel local DB connections in the ODBC settings.

Siebel provides tens of ways to accomplish one task. Creating files is a good example to explore the myriad ways to create a text file and populate it with content.
