From the day I have joined Siebel, everyday there is something new that I learn about Siebel (OK, OK may be not everyday )

Few days back I learned a new trick that could be time saver for lot of people out there. Many of you might be already aware of it but I was not.

For a requirement I had create a copy of Vanilla BC’s such as MACD Quote, MACD Quote Item (These BC’s are used in Order Management) and then add custom fields in these BC’s.

In total I had to create 5 Business Components and had to add over 200 fields in these Business Components which was looking like a pretty mundane job to me and I was trying to put it off to someone

At that time Jeevan came to my rescue and I was able to this job in under 10 minutes which otherwise would have taken a lot of time.

Here is how I did it.

• Query for both New and Custom BC
• Lock both the objects
• Right Click > Compare Objects > Selected
  
  You will get a wizard as shown below
• Now select the Custom field that you want to add to new BC
  
• Click on the arrow as shown below.
  
• Wizard will ask “Do you want to perform this operation”. Click Yes

That’s it your field will be added in the New BC . You can use this techinque on any kind of object and child objects.
