Read only views and Custom methods(Buttons)

Requirement :

  To make the view read-only for a group of users, meaning they should only be able to view the data and should never be let to modify in any case.

Hurdle:

  UI can be made read - only by assigning those set of users with a different set of responsibility. And make all the views in the Responsibility to Read only.


Solution: 

 For this i could not think of any non-scripting solution. But the least impacting solution would be to use,

 TheApplication().InvokeMethod(“IsViewReadOnly”, TheApplication().ActiveViewName())

What this does it to check if the view is read - only in the current session and if so will return "TRUE".

 Usage:

from BS, 

 function ShowViewROStatus()
{
   var sActive = TheApplication().ActiveViewName();
   if (TheApplication().InvokeMethod("IsViewReadOnly",sActive) == "TRUE")
          TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(sActive + "is read only.");
   else
         TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(sActive + "is not read only.");
}

 

Hope it 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...
