Hi Guys,
Today we have Priyanka sharing details about a non profitable group created by bunch of professionals trying to help Orphan children. I am trying to spread their message and help them get volunteers through this post.

Line Break in Calculated Field-Solution
Sorry for delay in posting the solution for Line Break problem but got busy with some stuff. From all the discussion that we had, possible 3 solutions came up. The details of the solution are as following:
Importing Siebel 8.1 BC SIF in Siebel 7.8
Problem:
While trying to import Business Component SIF exported from Siebel 8.1 Tools to Siebel 7.8 Tools and encountered a error message as shown below:
“UI_FREEZE is not an attribute of type PROJECT. This input SIF file is in wrong format (SBL-DEV-00386)”
Workflow argument type mismatch error
Problem:
I was trying to simulate a workflow yesterday which had just one step of “PRM ANI Utility Service” with “CreateEmptyPropSet” method. While simulating the workflow I received a really strange error message box (Screenshot shown below).
Line Break in a Calculated field
Requirement: We have 4 address fields storing different details of addresses. We need to display all this information in a single field but there should be line break after each address detail. For example let’s assume that below is the information contained in 4 address fields

Siebel 8.1-Siebel 7.8 client conflict
After fixing that User Id and Password error I opened Siebel 8.1 Client, navigated the application and then head back to Siebel 7.8 to do some work and to my surprise the UI of Siebel 7.8 application was very different and this is how it looked like:
Siebel 8.1 Web Client – User Id-Password is incorrect
I recently installed Siebel 8.1 on my system (in addition to Siebel 7.7 and Siebel 7.8). As I didn’t had my local extracted I copied my friends DBF file in Siebel\Tools\Local directory in order to explore the application.
I started Siebel Tools, put in local user id and password and logged in successfully (without any problems). [...]
Display blank applet
Requirement:
If Activity is of type “Administration” then there is should blank space below “Activity List Applet” for Activities of other types it should show “Activity Form Applet.”
There can be several variations of this requirement but in simple words we would like to show blank space or hide an applet on certain condition.

Few days back I was having discussion on a requirement with one of my friends. I had to provide an estimate for that requirement.
The requirement involved creation of a new Business Component (basically copying an existing BC, giving it a new name and making some field changes in it), View, Applet and a Link.
