Background: A custom button was created with the method name 'abc' , which triggers a workflow through a Business Component user property. This workflow is designed to open a popup applet that displays a BI Publisher (BIP) report. However, when clicking the button, although the popup applet opens, it displays the following error message inside: Method ShowPopup is not allowed here (SBL-UIF-00348)   Error Message: We detected an error which may have occurred for one or more of the following reasons: Method ShowPopup is not allowed here (SBL-UIF-00348) Debug and Resolution: After reviewing the Siebel Personalization Log, it was observed that following the execution of the custom method 'abc' , Siebel internally calls the 'ShowPopup' method. It turned out that 'ShowPopup' was also being used for another popup applet where it had been explicitly disabled via an Applet User Property ( CanInvoke = FALSE ). For testing purposes, we deactivated ...

0: Overview Sometime as per the requirements you need to display 3rd party web page inside Siebel to achieve that there are two simple steps which are described here in details. 1: Prepare BIP Report URL In this post requirement is to show Oracle BI Publisher report inside Siebel Applet with report filters. 1.1. First Oracle BIP Developer will create report and share report link and important thing here is to ask BIP Developer to share the link without BIP Header page shown in below image. And link will look like this (Removed default filter details as they will auto set when report will open) : http://BIPServer:PORT/xmlpserver/FOLDER/REPORT_NAME.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%FOLDER_PATH%2FREPORT_NAME.xdo&_xmode=2&_xt=REPORT_TITLE&_xf=pdf&_xana=view&_xautorun=false 1.2. Now simply divide this URL into input parameters so that we can configure this URL into Siebel Application. "&" is the key from where you can determine the parameter name and their val...

  There are two ways one is that you change the date format on server level but this will cause issue like if you are getting date in business component and parsing it with some business rule and when you change the date format you need to modify operation everywhere. Below solution is simple and easy to execute. Follow below simple steps to achieve your desired date format. Open Siebel Tools. In Tool go to Applet and query the applet where you want to change the date display format. Now from list or control query the desired date field. Scroll right or use tab to find the "Display Format". Now from below you can make your own date format. For example as per my requirements I am using "DD-MMM-YYYY" after compiling the applet on UI date will display "21-Sep-2022". Format mask Description: YYYY or yyyy four digit year such as 2017 YY or yy last two digits of year such as 17 M month with no leading zero 1-12 MM Two digit month 01-12 MMM Three letter month suc...

RootBusCompName > If Attachment Business Component is...

In Siebel if you copy the value from field (which have line break character) and paste in notepad it will look fine, but when you use query step in workflow or script and check the logs, the search spec will have a large white space due the line break character stored in data base of that specific column and query will not work. For removing line breaks in a field you can use below eSciprt. Line breaks in strings Windows: \r\n carriage return followed by newline character. Linux: \n just a newline character. Regular Expression: if(MethodName == "Remove LB CR")     {         var vTemp = Inputs.GetProperty("vIn");         vTemp = vTemp.replace( /[\r\n]+/gm, "");         Outputs.SetProperty("vOut",vTemp);         return (CancelOperation);     }   See Also: How to remove Line Break when selecting data from SQL Server

Error: No user key can be used for Integration Component instance 'IC NAME'.(SBL-EAI-04397) Cause: In this case the behavior was encountered on Siebel CRM 8.1 release, where customer had another definition of the same IO deployed in the run time database. The IO deployed in the run time database was later amended to incorporate some changes in the user key fields. Next 'EAI Siebel Adapter' was invoked with a SiebelMessage corresponding to the amended/latest IO definition, which was compiled in the srf but not re-deployed in the runtime database. Since in version 8.1, IOs are first read from the cache and then from the SRF, this made 'EAI Siebel Adapter' to ignore the amended IO definition and throw the user key error. From experience gathered, it is seen that similar incidents can often arise when the "Deploy the Integration Object" checkbox is selected while creating an IO (using the EAI Siebel Wizard). In order to avoid such incidents due to inconsis...
