Please note that there are very valuable scripting improvements in version 8.0.
1- Repository based ScriptAssist and compilation support. Accelerates development and upgrade.
Eg:If you type
var oSvc = TheApplication.GetService (
ScriptAsist displays the list of services (and this appliies to all similar functions,
GetBusObject, GetBusComp, SetFieldValue etc).
The compiler will also generate warnings if you have such incorrect names.
2- Fix & Go debugging: Greatly accelerates dbugging by eliminating .srf compilation. You make changes to the script and when you save it it applies immediately. You dont need to restart the client.
3- Services as Script libraries: Enables modular development and upgrade, accelerates development.
You can now see a script method on a Service via ScriptAssist and directly call it (w/o InvokeMethod).
Eg;
Suppose you have a method on Service Service1
function my_concat (left : chars, right : chars) : chars
{
var sReturns : chars = left + “_” + right;
}
Then you cann call this method from another place like this.
var oSvc = TheApplication ().GetService (”Service1″);
var sConcat : charr = oSvc.my_concat (”Hello”, “World”)
Thge ScriptAssist will also display that function in the drop down.

Please refer to the latest documentation on how to use these features. These features are available for ST engine only.

You need to set the External Use & Cached flag in the very first version of 8.0 to make #3 work. In later versions, you only need to set External Use flag.

Hi, Ankit. The only problem you can face with this new engine is if you are running Siebel 7.7.2.x, in which some standard BS doesn’t compile. Here’s the list:

Business Service
Alert Online Email Notification
CyberSource Adapter Service
EAI Create SearchSpec IntObj
Order – SAP 4x Maps
Taxware Adapter Service (eScript)
WorkFlow Patcher

If you need more info about this problem you can search for Alert 1176, or ask us

Regards!
