The term Scripting has always had a negative vibe around it in Siebel. It is avoided like plague and advised to be only used as  last resort. Yet there has  not a single project I seen in my 5 years of experience in Siebel that doesn’t use scripting. I am not an advocate of scripting.  [...]

Equipped with the knowledge of prototypes from Jason’s suggestion, Impossible Siebel Group discussion, Matt’s Framework I wrote a general purpose function which I think will be good addition in the Open Siebel Framework. I have been working in Siebel EAI from a long time and very often I have to write a property set to [...]

If you had been keeping an eye on Impossible Siebel Group created recently by Jason then you must have read the discussion going on about the Mik’s Framework. If you are not able to make any sense of it, then don’t be demoralized, you are not alone out there. A lot of people (including me) [...]

Now, You must be thinking what a strange topic header but I just couldn’t think of anything better and let’s not waste more of your precious time with pleasantries and get straight to the point.

I was going through articles at Siebel Essentials when I came across article explaining Siebel eScripting best practices. This article gives us a download link to official best practices guide for eScripting and also mentions about Josh’s downloadable cheat sheet which has got 14 points that one should take care when writing eScript.

Vertex a quite well known reader of Siebel Unleashed has shared with a really interesting and useful article. This is a must read for everybody who is into Siebel configuration. There is one function that, if used properly, could do some nice stuff on user interface. This function name is setTimeout() and it allows you [...]

I am not sure how many of you believed that if we declare a function like this function SumAll(){} then you cannot pass any argument to it (I believed it .. till few days back). On the contrary to the general belief these functions are known as variable argument functions and can accept any number of [...]

Yesterday a reader of Siebel Unleashed asked an interesting question stating a requirement. I thought it would be interesting to share that requirement with all of you and know your thoughts on it. Question: I want to display records from 2 Siebel tables in a single applet. Is it a good idea to create a [...]

I think most of Siebel 7.7.x and Siebel 7.8.x applications are ST enabled, by now in readiness to upgrade to Siebel 8.x as ST is the default script engine in Siebel 8.x. You wouldn’t want to upgrade to Siebel 8.0 and realize that most of your scripts are failing there. Though most of us have ST [...]

From past few days I have been working on requirements that involve getting user Input and then taking an action. In most of them I had to get user input through browser script and call business service to apply business logic and condition to get the work done. I feel this is quite an inefficient [...]

Paolo is back with some more teasers about ABS (ATI) Framework. But I am sure of one thing after reading his explanation that such framework exists and somebody out there is using it. Thankfully Paolo is not done and there is another article that he is going to post giving more details about it. Here [...]

What started as a simple post for sharing few best practices that turned out to be an eye opening post mainly due to contribution of Paolo and Tiziano by way of comments. I am not sure how many of you look at the comments given by readers but this contribution deserves to be a full-fledged [...]
