Through my experience I have learnt that there are always several ways to accomplish everything. Some of them are the right way to do things and some of them are wrong way. It might take a little more effort to do things in right way but it always pay in the long run. Wrong way might save you some time and effort but price you have and consequences you have to suffer are far greater. This post here would provide you some insight on doing thing right way in siebel.
- Whenever there is a requirement to extend a column in a table it is suggested that instead of extending the Base Table we should extend the Extension table corresponding to it.
Whenever you extend the column in a table make sure you also extend the EIM table corresponding to it and also make a record in the Attribute Mapping.
Steps for it:a) Go to the EIM Interface table object and identify the correct EIM table.b) Extend the EIM Table.c) In EIM Table Mapping object > Attribute Mapping Object > create a record for newly added column.
- The customized buttons who have the Method Invoked Property as”EventMethod%” ie. prefixed with ‘EventMethod’ need not to be forcibly enable
by using ‘PreCanInvoke” event scripting.
They are always enabled.
Hope this helps. Keep Coming for more

Hats off to you Neel for initiating such gr8 effort for helping others.I will definitely like to contribute even in my Learning Phase.
I am learning too and would like if everybody can benifit from my learning.
For extension I wud say it depends whether column is going to be heavily used or not. If yes then extend the base table & if not then put it in extension table.
Above metioned tip says create a corresponding mapping in EIM tables.
So, that in case if you have to run an EIM job and it includes that column you job will fail if haven’t created the mapping.
Hi! THanks for the blog and the posts, I’m learning a lot.
Got a question, do you know of any Visio stencils/templates that will allow an Analyst to mock-up a Siebel screen? I seem to recall seeing some like that made available at one point but can’t find it anymore.
You might be referring to the BPSL (The Business Process Solutions Library), which runs in Igrafx, however, as far as im aware, Oracle has discontinued this now. I think it was updated up to 7.8 but im not 100% sure. I was told on my BA course last year that Oracle dont supply it anymore.
