Siebel Business Service Part-1

Siebel Business Service Part-1

In Simple terms, Siebel Business Service (BS) can be defined as below


*     A Siebel Business Service is an object that encapsulates and simplifies the use of some set of Business functionality.

*     It is a unit of Business functionality which is reusable and globally accessible.

*     It enables business logic which can be executed repeatedly in multiple different contexts.


BS are not tied to specific objects, but rather operate or act upon objects to achieve a particular goal. Example a Business component is tied to a table and an Applet is tied to a Business Component. But a Business service is accessible Globally in Siebel.


All the Siebel Vanilla BS is written in C++ and cannot be customized by the user. But these BS will help to accomplish   most of the Business Requirement specially EAI BS.



All the Custom Business Services are written in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript. These are basically used when requirements are beyond Siebel’s Vanilla functionality.
Example of Use of Siebel Business Services would be


*     While moving data and converting data formats between the Siebel application and  external applications.

*     Business services can also be used outside the context of Siebel EAI to accomplish other types of tasks.

Siebel - DeleteRecord Method in eScript

Let me take this opportunity to share a unique issue that I faced during one small requirement development. Requirement: Contacts with a specific roles are created due a configuration miss in the EAI. As the product is live the fix can be put only after the root cause is found and change window is available. Till then these records needs to be deleted. As the number of records is huge deleting these records manually is a time consuming task and no back end deletion is allowed as the product is live. As a work around a client side BS would be developed to over come the problem. Siebel  Version : 7.7 Below is the pseudo code BusCom = "TechLabHelp" With BusCom                clear Query()                Search for Contact with Role "TECHLABS"                FirstRec = FirstRecord                While (FirstRec)                        FirstRec = DeleteRecord                End While End With Hope pseudo code is simple and self explanatory.

How to call a Business Service from a PM/PR file in Siebel Open UI

I was working on a requirement where I had to call a Siebel Business Service from PM/PR files. Oracle Support gave a pretty simple steps to the same. But for each of the Business service to be called had to register it as a user property in the Siebel Application user property. This would need a SRF change every time and was not that easily feasible. So came up with the below practice which avoided the SRF change. Below are the steps to create call a Business Service from the Siebel PM/PR file. 1. Add the below Application User Property ClientBusinessServiceN = Business Service Name Here " N " would be the value in sequence of the application user property ClientBusinessService and Business Service Name is the name of the Business Service to be called. 2. In the PM/PR file add the below code to call the Business Service // Get the Object for the Business Service. Get the Business Service by passing the Business Service Name var sBusService = SiebelApp.S_App.GetSe
