SElib,
4. Siebel Script --outlying
○ Types of Scripts: There are two types of scripting available:
 Server Scripts (eScript or SiebelVB)
 Execute on the server for web clients or on the client machine for
mobile or dedicated web clients
 Browser Scripts (JavaScript)
 Downloaded to the client and are executed within the browser

7. Where to Use
○ Siebel Tools
○ Web
8. When to use
 Data Validation: Complex and business object/component data
relationship rules can be written
 User Interaction: Specific messages to users based on specific inputs –
string concatenation is supported
 Integration: Transfer the data to and from the external system ,uses include
calling a business service, workflow, etc

13. Tips and Tricks
○ Scripts are always interpreted (all text in the script is parsed), use compact
notation where possible (for example):
 if(foo == bar)
 doSomething();
 Instead of
 if(foo == bar)
 {
 doSomething();
 }
 Use “ elimination ” code to short circuit functions when not needed:
 if(isInDoItList(myval)) {
 longChunkOfCode();
 }
14. Tips and Tricks
 When querying for a business component, activate all fields via the
ActivateField() method prior to executing the query (this is well
documented in Siebel Bookshelf).
 When querying for BCs try to use a “ForwardOnly” flag in the
ExecuteQuery() method, this forces Siebel to create a forward only cursor
which is more efficient than a bi-directional cursor.
 Be very careful with using “SetFieldValue” within a “PreSetFieldValue”
event due to possible undesired recursion.
 You can’t throw an error message during the “OnLoad” logic of an applet,
(the error goes nowhere).
