Anoop a reader of my blog asked me a question few days ago. It is an interesting question.
Question:

Business Intelligence popularly knows as BI is a buzz word in today’s market. I had been going through various articles but none of them explained BI in simple words so that it is easy to understand what actually it meant.

Using ShowModalDialog
By neel | July 14, 2008
Write the below given code in browser script for an applet . This below given code will display Abort, Retry and Ignore prompt on click of a button.
In this example I had created a button on an applet and the name of the method it invokes upon click is EventMethodAddress. This code has been provided by Tejeshwar Singh a friend of mine
if (name == "EventMethodAddress")
{
var arr = new Object;
arr.prompt = "Are you sure?";
arr.buttons = 2;
arr.title = "Testing Dialog";
var intRet;
intRet = theApplication().ShowModalDialog("temp.htm", arr, "dialogHeight:150px; dialogLeft:200px; dialogWidth:500px; status:no;help:no;")
if(intRet == 3)
alert("You clicked Abort");
if(intRet == 4)
alert("You clicked Retry");
if(intRet == 5)
alert("You clicked Ignore");
return("CancelOperation");
}

Different kind of Dialog box in Siebel.
By neel | July 14, 2008
This is going to be 3 part series and I am going to post one part each day.
By default very few types of prompts are available in Siebel with which we can interact with user. Most commonly used method are:
RaiseErrorText: Which is used to display information to user but when we use it the processing of further statements stops. So, generally we use it only when we have to display validation error in which case user cannot proceed further before he rectifies the error.
Alert: One more method which is used in browser scripts to display information and this is actually just to display information and it doesn’t affect the processing of script or transaction in anyway. So, it is generally used to display information messages like “Please remember to do this after this”.
Confirm: This displays an OK or Cancel dialog box which affects the transaction depending on user choice. An example of this is a dialog box that you see when you try to delete a record.

Reason for fewer posts in July
By neel | July 12, 2008
I am sure you guys must have noticed I have posted lot fewer posts than I usually do.I try to post at least 4 posts every week and try to have 20 posts for a month (which I think is pretty good number).
The reason, there are less posts in July is because a lot is happening in my professional front.
The bad news is that this lull might continue for next few more days but good news is that during this time I have attended Siebel 8.0 training and will soon be starting series of posts sharing my experience about it.

ActivateField ClearToQuery and ExecuteQuery
By neel | July 9, 2008
Divya a reader and member of Siebel Unleashed forum asked me a question about a common code snippet that we use in our scripting. The code snippet is as following
var oEmpBusObj = TheApplication().ActiveBusObject();
var oEmpBusComp = oEmpBusObj ().GetBusComp("Employee");
var sLoginName;
oEmpBusComp.ActivateField("Login Name");
oEmpBusComp.ClearToQuery();
oEmpBusComp.SetSearchSpec("Login Name", sLoginName);
oEmpBusComp.ExecuteQuery();
oEmpBusComp = null;
oEmpBusObj = null;
and the Question she asked is
Is it necessary that we have to write first ActivateField then followed by Clear to Query then followed by SetSearchSpec and then ExecuteQuery?
I thought of replying it there but then thought of sharing the answer with all of you so that everybody (including me) can benefit from it.
Again the answer is from my experience of working is Siebel and I might not be right or my answer might be incomplete so please don’t hesitate to express your views and correct me if I am wrong.
