Zero Down time SRF deployment

Need :

  To replace the srf without down time.

Solution:

We see it takes around 10-15 minutes for a srf replacement with a new compiled one(Incremental specially). Thought of sharing a process wherein we can reduce the server downtime to ZERO. Usually when you do an incremental compile or want to change the srf, most appropriate when several servers need this change, you have to every time stop the services and get it back after the compile. Here is an approach where in you can change the srf without getting server down.

Follow these steps:
1. Copy the new srf in the <Siebel server>/ object/<language> directory.

2. Navigate to Site Map> Server Configuration > Enterprises > Component Definitions

3. In the Component Definitions list applet (top applet), select the Object Manager you want to reconfigure, in our case Call Center Object Manager (ENU)

4.In the Menu button click Start Reconfiguration in the Component Definitions list applet. The Object Manager definition State field will change to Reconfiguring.

5. In the Component Definitions parameters list applet (the lower applet), Query for Application Repository File parameter. If not found, click on the Advanced button. Change the Application Repository File to the new repository file name.

6. Commit the new configuration by saving the record in the Component Definitions list applet or by clicking the Menu button.
Note:  The changes will be applicable only to the newly connecting users and already connected users will still see the old one.



Hope that Helps!!!

Refresh Siebel Applet not Buscomp - "RefreshBusComp" Alternative

Need: User wants to update the data being displayed on UI after performing some validation and updates via a script on the underlying BC.   Solution: A vanilla Business Service “FINS Teller UI Navigation” can be used to refresh an Applet after updating the underlying data, without breaking the current query.       One of the most commonly used approach is to invoke the "RefreshRecord" method on the Business Component. However, this does not promise to work on all Business Components.        Another alternative is to call the BS method "RefreshCurrentApplet" on the BS "FINS Teller UI Navigation".   Syntax: TheApplication().GetService("FINS Teller UI Navigation").InvokeMethod ("RefreshCurrentApplet", TheApplication(). NewPropertySet(), TheApplication().NewPropertySet()); Eg: BusComp_WriteRecord() { Code Goes Here //TheApplication().InvokeMethod(“RefreshBusComp”);    --Commented TheApplic

BCHasRows - Validation with no scripts

Need:   To do validation without using siebel scripts.  Solutions:         BCHasRows : Validation Without Scripting Scenario:            To check/search in child Bus comp field values for some validation  without scripting.  For Example:            When the Specified Account has any "Active" child Activity, the Activity flag should be true Implementation without scripting:           Create a  calculated field Name: Check Activity  Calculated = Y Calc Expression: BCHasRows("Account", "Action", '[Account Id] ="' + [Id] +'" AND  [Type] = "Active"',"All")         This returns Y, if any child activity found. Create a User property “On Field Update Set” to set the Activity Flag ; Value : “Check Activity”, “Activity Flag”                            Syntax:  BCHasRows ( BO , BC , search_expr, visibility)

Deploying Integration Object at Runtime (Siebel)

Image
Feature: Starting with  Siebel  8.1, Integration Objects can be deployed at runtime just like workflows to the runtime database. Modifications to the IO can be deployed to the server without having to recompile the changes to SRF, shutting down the server and then moving the changes. Steps to follow: 1.         Open a Dedicated connection to the server database(Works on local db too) 2.         Go to the IO in the Object Manager 3.         Select the IO that needs to be modified and deploy 4.         Right Click on the IO and select “Deploy to Runtime Database” 5.         Log into  Siebel  Web Client 6.         Go to Site Map ->Administration – Web Services >Deploy Integration Object 7.         The IO will now be available 8.         In order to un-deploy the IO, go to  Siebel  Tools ->Integration Objects > Right Click on the IO and select “UnDeploy” 9.         Clear the cache every time before deploying/un-deploying( Administration – Web
