This post was submitted by Dwarka who works with federal dept. Austraila and has 5 years of exp in siebel technology. He has mentioned it as an commnet but his tip is so useful that it deserves to be a post. So I am putting his comment as post with just minor formatting changes.
Another way of monitoring the workflows is increasing the monitoring level in the UI.
Go to Administrator-Business Process - Workflow Deployment and query for the worflow which needs to be monitored and in the bottom applet of the queired wkfl, there is a column called “Monitoring Level” change it to max 4(debug).
This captures the process as it goes thru ever step and makes our live easy
in fixing the issue.
Another issue I found is with failure to execute a schedule job setup
(Under Administrator-Server Management-JOBS)with error
(SBL-OMS-00203: Error (null) invoking method “(null)” for Business Service “(null)”)
This error is in regards to TYPO for the Value in the “JOB PARAMETERS” - All care should be taken while typing in the value.
IF youtry to look up the error in the siebel supportweb, it will take you thru everything and still wont tell you what the issue is. - frustrating.

How does the siebel know that it has an inbound request?e.g I want to create an account in Siebel for which I will get the XML from the middleware.
Better way to do is web services as they are Synchronous.
Will soon post an example of such a workflow
Thanx alot.Though I am not able to understand much.
Hi All,
I have a requirement. I have to understand the following worflows.
LS Clinical - ApplyTemplates Process
LS Clinical - DeleteNonAppVisits Process
LS Clinical - SubjectVisits Process
LS Clinical Contract Rollup
LS Clinical Earned To Date Rollup
LS Clinical Paid To Date Rollup
LS Clinical Payment Delete Rollup
LS Clinical Protocol Delete Rollup
It refers to a couple of business services and methods. Since it’s a vanilla functionality i dont know how to understand the business services.As it does not show the scripts. I have to document the working of these workflows.Also I am anable to simulate it as I dont know what object id it would refer to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
