Adding indicators on applets

We have seen a Status Indicator Icon for Server Components in Server Management Screen and now with the help of tip given by balaji_xp it is possible for us to add that to any entitiy. For example if I want a Service Request to display different colors for different severities or Quotes to display different color based on status. You can use the example given below by balaji_xp and adapt it according to your needs.

We can implement the same behavior in a list applet. Please follow the below steps:

Select a List applet (e.g., Activity List Applet) and its BC (e.g., Action).
In the business component, create a new calculated field.
In the calculated value (e.g., Status Indicator), frame the logic that returns any of the status value as mentioned above(e.g., IIF([TimeDiff] >0, “Unavailable”, IIF(([TimeDiff] > -24), “Offline”,”Online”))
Go to the List Applet. and create a new List Column “Status Indicator” and set the following properties as below.
HTML Icon Map = Server Administration Icon
HTML Type = Label
HTML List Edit = FALSE
Run Time = TRUE
In the List Applet, add the control “Status Indicator”.
Compile the BC and Applet.
In the application, go to the list applet and observe that the column “Status Indicator” is displayed as in server administrator screen.

Creating SearchSpecs in Siebel

Not too sure if you ever faced it, but at one time I found it really difficult to build siebel searchspecs. I had to copy already built searchspecs and manipulate it to cater to my needs.. :). However recently I figured out it's not that difficult to build these specs. In general if you are not using a process property (in a workflow) or a function (like LookupValue) searchspec is pretty straight forward. The below is an example. '[Status]='"In Progress"' (In progress within double quotes and the whole statement within single quotes, the vice versa is also okay, but make sure you use one particular quotes within the statement) If you need two fields in the searchspec and it will look like below: '[Status]="In Progress" and [Type]="Administrative"' and so on and so forth. Simple right. Now comes the little difficult part, when you have a process property or a function, e.g. '[Status]="In Progress" and [Type]="...

To make the MVG Field/Applet Read only based on the particular field value in the Parent BC

Example, Account is the Parent BC and CUT Address is the Child BC. If the Account Status field is “Inactive”, the Address MVG Field should become read-only. Configuration: In Parent BC, Create a calculated field as follows Field Name: CalAddrReadOnly Value: IIF([Status]="Inactive", "Y", "N") In Child BC - User Properties, create one record with the following values: Name: Parent Read Only Field Value: Account.

Siebel 8.1 weird WF validation error

We got the below error message while validating a workflow in Siebel 8.1 Validation failed for the workflow process 'XYZ' for the branch 'Connector 33' The 'WF Branch Criteria Value' - field such as LO_.. or HI_.. for the respective data type is null or empty. Solution: Run the sql below with the source as workflow row id, you will see all the branch conditions in your workflow. Pick the one which has the same name as the error message, isolate the wf step (you can modify this sql to get that) and then delete and re-add the condition step. SELECT WFBRANCRIT . ROW_ID , WFBRANCRIT . NAME , WFBRANCRIT . BRANCH_ID FROM SIEBEL . S_WFR_PROC WF , SIEBEL . S_WFR_STP WFSTEP , SIEBEL . S_WFR_STP_BRNCH WFSTPBRANCH , SIEBEL . S_WFR_PROC_FLOW WFSTEPCON , SIEBEL . S_WFR_COND_CRIT WFBRANCRIT WHERE WF . ROW_ID = WFSTEP . PROCESS_ID (+) AND WFSTEP . ROW_ID = WFSTPBRANCH . STEP_ID (+) AND WFSTPBRANCH . ROW_ID = WFSTEPCON . FOR_BRNCH_ID (+) AND WFSTPBRANCH...
