For all the Siebel Open UI developers here is a must have chrome extension for reloading CSS with out refreshing the page.  Once the extension is installed right click on the page and select Reload CSS. All the CSS from web server would loaded with out page refresh. Enjoy Development !!!!

Recently I was working with a requirement where the field needs to be validated to accept only numeric values. This requirement looked to be a simple one. Adding a validation on the PreSetFieldValue of the Business Component solved the problem. Below is the code added ............................... ........... if(isNaN(FieldValue){            TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("Sorry, invalid number, please enter numbers alone."); } ....... Thats it.... Now when testing all looked fine until accidentally I entered 123123e. There was no error thrown and the value was accepted. How ever this is not what the code is suppose to be doing. So thought of getting in deeper, tested with 88779e no error thrown, then with 2341209d error thrown. So "e" at the end was the killer. Some how a number ending with e is considered as a infinite number (not sure if I am correct). As an alternative and get rid of this scenario changed the code as below and it worked l

I recently upgraded from IE 8 to IE 10 and I was no able to do edit web layout for the Applet and View. Only way to get them working was to rollback. But I wanted to use IE 10, so found this particular patch that would solve the issue  8.1.1.10 QF0002052,   this resolved the issue and was able to do edit web layout. Also for 8.1.1.11 patch set 9 helps. Note: the patch needs to be applied on the Tools.

Few days back I upgraded my chrome version and when I open Siebel Open UI application I saw all the contorls overlapping each other and I was shocked to see this. Then I started  to search the Oracle Support web and I found one article that says   Open UI - Applets Not Displaying Correctly In Updated Chrome Browser (Doc ID 1615924.1) I went through the document and the document says it a bug and is fixed in 8.1.1.11.4 QF. Now I am still 8..1.1.10 I cannot use that QF. So I found one more article in the document which says How to Fix Form Applet Issue in Chrome 32 . This document showed the details steps of to fix it with a workaround. But I saw the code and felt thats too much of code to executed. So I did some inspect element and found this solution. if(window.chrome){ $(".GridBack").attr("border","1").css("border-color","transparent"); } Added the above code in postload file and it worked like a charm.

The best thing in Siebel Open UI is, it supports  Javascript  and  JQuery . In this particular post I will do few of the changes in the application UI. To do the Theme Changes in 8.1.1.10 click here Below is the screen shot showing the vanilla application. After the changes the application would look something as below Steps to be followed 1.   Create a css file Dashboard.css (save the css file in files/custom/dashboard/ path) this would help to easily maintain the CSS changes. 2.  Include the theme.js file  as below (note : OOTB would provide a theme.js file in custom folder) a. Create a record in SiteMap->Application Administration->Manifest Files          siebel/custom/theme.js                       b. Update the Manifest Administration Screen as below . 3.  Open theme.js file and add the below piece of code   SiebelApp.ThemeManager.addResource(     "GRAY_TAB",     {        css : {                   "Dashb
