1.1 About This Guide

This guide describes how to configure the Siebel Adapter for Oracle WebCenter Content. It includes the following sections:

Chapter 1, "Overview," lists supported Siebel entities and describes attachment options, authentication, and document security.

Chapter 2, "Configuring the Adapter," lists system requirements and describes how to configure Oracle Content Server and Siebel for adapter use. It also describes optional configuration, such as scanning via Oracle Distributed Document Capture, passing additional metadata parameters from Siebel to Content Server, and customizing the adapter IFrame display.

Appendix A, "Siebel Object Locking," lists Siebel objects locked during adapter configuration and instructions for activating or deactivating them.

Appendix B, "Configuring Additional Siebel Objects," lists instructions for configuring additional objects.

1.2 About the Adapter

The Siebel Adapter for Oracle WebCenter Content allows Siebel CRM users to scan, attach, store, and retrieve attachments stored in an Oracle WebCenter Content Server repository. Content Server documents are displayed as managed attachments to Siebel entities in a customizable IFrame within the Siebel application.

1.3 Automatically Configured Siebel Entities

The Siebel Adapter for WebCenter provides a Siebel archive (SIF) file that automatically configures the following Siebel entities:

Account

Activity

Contact

Asset

Call Report

Claim

Opportunity

Order

Project

Quote

Service Request

Public Sector Case objects, including:

Case

Arrest

Offense

Incident

Evidence

Lead

Group

Group Suspect

See Section 2.3, "Configuring the Adapter for Siebel" for detailed configuration information.

Note:

Additional Siebel entities can be configured for use with the Siebel Adapter for WebCenter by following the instructions in Section B, "Configuring Additional Siebel Objects."

1.4 System Architecture

Figure 1-1 illustrates the IFrame configuration for the Siebel adapter.

Figure 1-1 System Architecture for IFrame Configuration for Siebel Adapter

1.5 Managed Attachments Options

When a Siebel user displays a Siebel record such as a contact, Content Server lists the attachments to which the user has access in a Managed Attachments IFrame.

Siebel users can perform the following tasks in the attachments IFrame:

Open documents in their native application or Web-viewable format

Check in new documents to Content Server and attach them to the selected Siebel entity

Detach documents from a Siebel entity

Refresh the IFrame's list of attachments

Select and order fields for display in the attachments IFrame

Search Content Server using advanced search options

View an attached document's information

Check out documents, locking them to changes by other users

Modify a document's metadata values

Scan and import documents using Oracle Distributed Document Capture, attaching them to a selected Siebel entity

For details about how users work with Content Server documents in a Siebel application, see the Oracle WebCenter User's Guide for Siebel Application Adapter.

1.6 User IFrame Authentication

Siebel users must have a Content Server account to display the Managed Attachments IFrame within the supported Siebel entity. In addition, the authentication model configured for Content Server and Siebel determines how users are authenticated the first time they display a Siebel record that includes the attachments IFrame:

Content Server configured for Oracle Single Sign-On: If Siebel is not configured for single sign-on, the Content Server single sign-on login prompt is displayed. (If Siebel is configured for single sign-on, the user has been authenticated, so no login prompt is displayed.)

Content Server not configured for Oracle Single Sign-On: The Content Server login prompt is displayed, regardless of the selected Siebel authentication model.

1.7 Document Security

Users set a document's security when checking it into Content Server. In the attachments IFrame, Siebel users see only those attachments to which their Content Server account allows them access. So a document attached to a Siebel entity does not appear in the search results for an unauthorized user. It is recommended to use a profile that specifies default security values for document check-in.

Note:

You can override the entries that determine if the New, Detach, Search, Configure, Scan, and Refresh buttons are displayed by specifying an alternate display mode, as described in Section 2.6.2, "Dynamically Change the Display Mode."

Note:

You can specify the default columns to be displayed to users in the IFrame. (When the user clicks Reset in the Configure Fields for Display screen, default columns are listed in the Main Information section of the screen.)

Open the config.cfg file and set the value of the SiebelDefaultDisplayColumns configuration variable as a comma-delimited list containing the default fields.

The additional column defaults are title, author, size, and date. To override these additional columns, populate this variable with comma-delimited Content Server metadata field names. For example, the list might include:

dDocTitle,dDocType,dDocAuthor,dInDate

Note:

To avoid an issue with the Siebel Adapter for Content Server, in which the Content Server login page displays in the Siebel page instead of the IFrame, add the following entry to the Content Server config.cfg file:

AllowContentServerInAnyDomains=1

Be aware that setting the AllowContentServerInAnyDomains variable to 1 allows Content Server pages to be opened in IFrames, which could pose a potential security issue.

Restart Content Server.

2.3 Configuring the Adapter for Siebel

Follow the steps described in this section to configure the Siebel side of the adapter.

The Siebel configuration procedures include the following:

Section 2.3.1, "Lock Siebel Objects"

Section 2.3.2, "Import the SIF File"

Section 2.3.3, "Compile Locked Projects"

Section 2.3.4, "Configure the IFrame URL in the Siebel Web Client"

Section 2.3.5, "Test the Siebel Configuration"

Important Points

Keep the following points in mind during Siebel configuration:

Ensure that you are compiling to and testing on the same Siebel Repository file (.SRF).

A typical method is to import the SIF file into the local Siebel database and test it locally. When ready, you can check in the objects to the Siebel server, compile objects, and generate browser scripts.New browser scripts that are generated must reside in the appropriate production location (for example, local client/PUBLIC/ENU and/or server Web client (SWE)/PUBLIC/ENU folders).

Performing the Siebel configuration steps in this section automatically disables display of the corresponding Siebel File System Applets. This occurs when importing the SIF file, which deactivates specific File System attachment applets. If needed, reactivate these applets to display Siebel File System attachments, such as during a migration process. For information on activating and deactivating applets, see Appendix A, "Siebel Object Locking."

When the Siebel Adapter for WebCenter is configured, Siebel attachments that customers have migrated from Siebel File Systems to Content Server and previously accessed with Siebel EAI or EIM Web services are no longer available. However, these migrated documents could now be accessed using Content Server Web services.

2.3.1 Lock Siebel Objects

The SIF archive file contains changes to multiple Siebel objects, including Projects, Applets, Views, Business Components, and browser scripts. Before importing the SIF file, follow these steps to lock objects to be modified by the import.

Log in to Siebel Tools with User ID: SADMIN and Connect to: Local.

Note:

Ensure that you are modifying the correct .SRF repository file.

In the Object Explorer of Siebel Tools, select Project.

From the Query menu, select New Query (Ctrl+Q).

Submit the first query by entering the following text into the Name field and pressing Enter.

Account OR Account ?SSE? OR Asset Management OR Contact OR Contact ?SSE? OR ERM Unified Help Desk OR FINS Call Reports OR FINS Call Reports ?SSE? OR FINS INS Claims OR FINS INS Claims Appraisals/Bills/Attachments OR Oppty OR Oppty ?SSE? OR Order Entry OR Quote OR Quote ?UI?

Note:

If you choose to copy and paste the text string, be sure to first paste the copied text into an ascii editor (such as Notepad) and remove any carriage returns before pasting into the Name field.

Select the Locked field for all objects.

Start another query by selecting New Query from the Query menu (Ctrl+Q). Enter the following text into the Name field and press Enter.

Service OR Service ?SSV? OR VERT CUT Common OR PS Project Management OR PS Project Management ?SSE? OR Activity OR Activity ?SSE? OR PUB Case OR PUB Evidence OR PUB HLS Incident OR PUB HLS Physical Terrorism OR PUB Lead OR FINS Call Reports2

Select the Locked field for all objects.

Note:

Appendix A provides information about which objects are locked. This can be useful if you encounter issues when locking Siebel projects.

2.3.2 Import the SIF File

Follow these steps to import Siebel Adapter for WebCenter Managed Attachments objects into Siebel from a Siebel Archive File from a Siebel archive file using the Import Wizard.

Caution:

On certain custom Siebel configurations, importing the SIF file using the merge option (as described in this procedure) could result in fields, user properties, and joins from custom Siebel configurations being overwritten.

From the Tools menu, choose Import From Archive.

In the Select Archive To Import dialog box, select the appropriate .sif archive file, and click Import. Available SIF files include:

Siebel_SEA_7.x_UCM_Attachments_YYYYMMDD.sif

Siebel_SIA_8.x_UCM_Attachments_YYYYMMDD.sif

Siebel_SIA_7.x_UCM_Attachments_YYYYMMDD.sif

Siebel_SEA_8.x_UCM_Attachments_YYYYMMDD.sif

The SIF file's contents are displayed in the Import Wizard - Preview screen. Ensure that the Merge option (middle option) from the Conflict Resolution options is selected, and click Next. (This option merges the SIF file changes to existing Siebel Objects.)

The wizard displays any conflicting objects found. Click Next.

A dialog box lists the changes to be made to the repository, and prompts you to proceed. Click Yes.

A summary is displayed. Click Finish.

2.3.3 Compile Locked Projects

Before testing the modified projects, follow these steps to compile them.

Select Options from the View menu.

In the Development Tools Options screen, select the Scripting tab.

In the Browser script compilation folder field, enter a path as follows:

Client Install Folder/PUBLIC/ENU

For example, on Windows Drive_letter:\Siebel_install_folder_path\client\PUBLIC\enu

Select Project in the Object Explorer, locate the Manage Attachments (UCM) project and lock it.

From the Tools menu, choose Compile Projects.

In the Object Compiler screen, select Locked projects.

Verify that the correct repository is selected in the Siebel repository file field. This repository file must exist in the Web Client installation folder.

Click Compile. (Note that compiling may take a while.)

2.3.4 Configure the IFrame URL in the Siebel Web Client

Follow the steps in this section to configure a symbolic URL in the Siebel Web client to the Managed Attachments IFrame. (A symbolic URL is a type of link that references the Content Server search results page.)

Launch the Web client, logging in with the User ID: SADMIN.

Choose Sitemap from the Navigate menu. The site map of the Siebel Web Client Application is displayed.

From the list of screens, click the Administration- Integration link, then the Symbolic URL Administration link.

From the Host Administration field, select Symbolic URL Administration.

Create a new record by clicking the New button.

Complete the following fields for the URL. With the new URL selected in the Symbolic URL table, a Symbolic URL Arguments pane becomes displayed below.

2.3.4.1 Configure the IFrame Height

The size of the IFrame is based on the ResultCount and IFrameSRC height settings defined in the Symbolic URL.

ResultCount determines the number of results that display on a results page before pagination controls are added at the bottom of the screen.

IFrameSRC height determines the height (in pixels) of the IFrame.

If the ResultCount setting causes the IFrame display to exceed the height, a vertical scroll bar is displayed. If users scroll to the bottom, the header information may become hidden.

For this reason, it is recommended that you adjust the ResultCount and IFrameSRC height settings in combination so that no scroll bar is displayed. Ensure that the IFrame height accommodates the result count. A recommended setting combination is an IFrame height setting of 280 and ResultCount setting of 6.

2.3.5 Test the Siebel Configuration

Log out of the Web client, then log in again to view the Managed Attachments IFrame embedded in the Attachments tab.

Tip:

To access Views, choose Sitemap from the Navigate menu in the Web client. This displays opportunities, orders, and other options with their child Views and attachment Views.

Test the changes locally. After testing is successful, ensure that the objects, including generated browser scripts, are synchronized with the Siebel server.

Note:

If you encounter technical issues in configuring this adapter, on either the Content Server side or the Siebel side, log a service request using My Oracle Support.

Setting AllowContentServerInAnyDomains

If the Content Server login page displays in the Siebel page instead of the IFrame, setting AllowContentServerInAnyDomains=1 in the Content Server config.cfg fixes the issue.

Note:

Be aware that setting the AllowContentServerInAnyDomains variable to 1 allows Content Server pages to be opened in IFrames, which could pose a potential security issue.

2.4 Configuring Oracle Distributed Document Capture

This section covers the following topics:

Section 2.4.1, "About Document Scanning Using Oracle Distributed Document Capture"

Section 2.4.2, "Configure Oracle Distributed Document Capture For the Siebel Adapter"

Section 2.4.3, "Configure Content Server for Distributed Document Capture Via the Adapter"

Section 2.4.4, "Test the Distributed Document Capture Via Siebel Adapter Configuration"

2.4.1 About Document Scanning Using Oracle Distributed Document Capture

The Oracle Distributed Document Capture application allows an application such as the Siebel Adapter to direct it to scan a document and pass in document index values. This allows users to scan documents or import scanned image files from the Managed Attachments IFrame and attach them to the selected Siebel record.

When configured for the Siebel Adapter, document scanning works like this:

A Scan button is added to the Managed Attachments IFrame. The user clicks the button, and selects a document classification, which is assigned to an Oracle Distributed Document Capture scan profile. For example, the user might select a classification of Identity Documents to scan a photocopy of a driver's license or passport. (An Oracle Distributed Document Capture scan profile specifies scanning, importing, and indexing settings.)

When the user clicks the Scan Document button, Oracle Distributed Document Capture's remote client launches in a new window, automatically authenticates and logs in the user, and passes in parameters such as the scan profile to be used and the Siebel entity value for later attachment.

Within the Oracle Distributed Document Capture client, the user reviews the document, makes changes as needed, completes any index fields configured in the scan profile, then sends the batch. Sending the batch commits the new document to Content Server using an Oracle 11g UCM commit profile specified for the scan profile. (A Capture UCM commit profile specifies connection information and field mappings between Capture and Content Server metadata fields.)

Upon successful sending, the user returns to the Managed Attachments IFrame and refreshes the display to view the newly scanned document or imported scanned image file.

2.4.2 Configure Oracle Distributed Document Capture For the Siebel Adapter

Follow these steps to configure attachment scanning on the Oracle Distributed Document Capture side.

Ensure that Oracle Distributed Document Capture is set for automatic login (optional).

On the System Settings tab of the Distributed Document Capture Server Configuration application shown in Figure 2-1, select Web Server Authenticated Access from the Authentication Methods options. This allows the client to launch automatically without users needing to log in. For details, see the section on authentication in the Installation Guide for Oracle Distributed Document Capture.

Figure 2-1 Distributed Document Capture Server Configuration, System Settings Tab

In Capture Administration, add index fields to a selected file cabinet for capturing values for new documents, as shown in Figure 2-2. For details, see the section on Capture Administration in the Administrator's Guide for Oracle Distributed Document Capture.

Create index fields for values you want saved with attached documents on the Content Server. For example, you might configure Doc Type and Security Group pick-list index fields for users to select from standard settings.

Create an index field to contain the Siebel entity value. Name the field based on the Siebel entity you are using, listed in Table 2-3:

Table 2-3 Siebel Entity Identifier

xsiebelLead

xsiebelOffense

xsiebelOpprnty

xsiebelOrder

xsiebelProject

xsiebelQuote

xsiebelSuspect

xsiebelSvcReq

Figure 2-2 Capture Administration, Index Fields

In Oracle Distributed Document Capture's Profile Administration, create a scan profile, as shown in Figure 2-3. Later, you associate this scan profile with one or more document classifications, so that when a user selects a classification, the associated scan profile's settings are used. For details, see the section on scan profiles in the Administrator's Guide for Oracle Distributed Document Capture.

On the General pane, select 2 - Scan and Index Documents in the Scanning Type field. This scanning type includes indexing, and scans or imports pages into a single document in a batch. Specify a file cabinet and batch prefix.

On the Document Indexing pane, move all fields you want displayed to users to the Selected Fields box.

Note:

Typically, you would not select the Siebel identifier field (xsiebelContact, for example) for display to users. If you choose to display it, lock it on the Field Properties pane to prevent users from changing the value.

On the Field Properties, Auto Populate, and Database Lookup panes, configure any pick-lists, database lookups, or autopopulating needed for indexing. Save the scan profile.

Figure 2-3 Scan Profiles, Oracle Distributed Document Capture Profile Administration

In Capture Administration, create an Oracle UCM 11g commit profile to commit the scanned or imported documents to Content Server when users send a completed batch. See Figure 2-4.

This commit profile specifies how to connect to the Content Server, and how the Siebel and Capture values are passed to the Content Server. For information about creating Oracle UCM 11g commit profiles, see the section on committing profiles in the Administrator's Guide for Oracle Distributed Document Capture.

Select Oracle UCM 11g Commit Driver in the Commit Driver field. Click the Configure button adjacent to the Commit Driver field.

On the Login tab, specify settings for logging in to the Content Server instance. (The other tabs become active after you log in.)

On the Check-In tab, specify how to name documents and assign Type, Security Group, and Account values.

On the Field Mappings tab, map Capture fields to Content Server fields.

Note:

You must map the Siebel entity field you created in step 2, as it is required to attach the new Content Server document to the Siebel record.

Activate the Siebel-UCM commit profile.

Figure 2-4 Capture Administration, Oracle UCM 11g Commit Settings

2.4.3 Configure Content Server for Distributed Document Capture Via the Adapter

Follow these steps to configure attachment scanning on the Content Server side.

On Content Server, edit the following configuration variables for Oracle Distributed Document Capture, if you have not done so. See Section 2.2.4, "Set the Configuration Variables."

ODDCURLPath=http://ODDC_host/ODDC_webcapture_address

ODDCScanAction=ODDC Scan Action

AdapterAppScanBtnVisible=true

Restart Content Server.

On Content Server, configure document classification and scan types.

From the Administration tray in Content Server, click the Admin Applets link.

Select the Configuration Manager applet. The Configuration Manager is displayed.

Click the Views tab, select DocClassView from the alphabetical list, and click Edit Values.

In the Edit Values screen, click Add and add document classifications and their corresponding scan profile. Note that documentClassifications entries must be unique, but a scan profile can be used multiple times. Click Close when done.

From the Options menu, select Publish schema to publish the data.

2.4.4 Test the Distributed Document Capture Via Siebel Adapter Configuration

Follow these steps to test the configuration as an end-user. For details about scanning using Oracle Distributed Document Capture as an end-user, see the Oracle Distributed Document Capture User's Guide.

Refresh the Managed Attachments IFrame results page. You should see a Scan button beside the New button.

Click the Scan button. In the Scan Document page, select a document classification and click Scan Document. The Oracle Distributed Document Capture client launches.

Notice that the URL reflects the settings you specified to run the client. It also passes the scan profile, scan action (1 = Scan and 2 = Import), and index data consisting of the Siebel entity and its value (for example, xsiebelContact=1LS-AF98).

Within the Oracle Distributed Document Capture client, review, index, and send the document's batch.

Return to the Managed Attachments IFrame and click Refresh Page. The newly scanned document or imported scanned image file should be displayed in the list. (It may take a few minutes to be displayed.)

2.5 Passing Extra Metadata Parameters From Siebel to Content Server

As part of an adapter configuration, you can pass one or more metadata values from Siebel to Content Server for populating New and Scan button URLs within the Siebel IFrame. For example, whenever a user checks in a new document using the New or Scan button, you might pass a Siebel account name for use in check-in.

Here's how it works:

To pass values, you need a Siebel field and a Content Server metadata field.

Two configuration variables are provided: one for new documents and the other for scanning documents. You set these variables to the metadata field(s) to populate on the Content Server side.

You add arguments to the symbolic URL (with the prefix extra added to the variable name) that link the Siebel and Content Server fields, so that they are appended to the New or Scan button URL. When the IFrame is displayed, the application searches the URL for extra parameter variables and uses their assigned values to populate New or Scan button actions.

Depending on configuration, extra values being passed may be visible or hidden from users checking in or scanning documents. For example, you might hide an account number, but for another value, you might populate a dropdown field and allow users to change the value.

Configuring extra metadata parameters involves the following main steps:

Section 2.5.1, "Configure Content Server for Extra Parameters"

Section 2.5.2, "Configure Siebel for Extra Parameters"

2.5.1 Configure Content Server for Extra Parameters

Follow these steps to configure extra parameters on the Content Server side.

Ensure that the SiebelSearchExtraParams component is enabled. See Section 2.2.3, "Enable the Siebel Adapter Content Server Components."

Set the extraSiebelDocParams and extraSiebelScanParams configuration variables.

Specify the Content Server field or fields to populate. Define extraSiebelDocParams to pass values using the New button, and extraSiebelScanParams to pass values using the Scan button. For information about configuration variables, see Section 2.2.4, "Set the Configuration Variables."

For example, to populate the Content Server Account metadata field for new and scanned documents, specify the following:

extraSiebelDocParams=dDocAccount

extraSiebelScanParams=dDocAccount

Note:

If specifying multiple Content Server fields for a variable, separate them with a comma. For example:

extraSiebelDocParams=dDocAccount,xsiebelOrder

extraSiebelScanParams=dDocAccount,dDocType

Update profiles as needed to accommodate the passed values (without the extra prefix).

If passing values using the New button, update the Content Server content profile to display the metadata field you specified, if needed.

If passing values using the Scan button, update the scan profile to display the index field, if desired. (The index field must exist for the file cabinet being used.) In the commit profile, map the index field to the appropriate Content Server metadata field.

2.5.2 Configure Siebel for Extra Parameters

Follow these steps to configure extra parameters on the Siebel side.

Add a Siebel field to hold the value to pass. For example, you might add a field called UcmAccount to the Contact business component, as shown below.

On the symbolic URL, add an argument for the field you created in step 1, including the extra prefix (extradDocAccount in the example below, which is the Content Server metadata variable name of dDocAccount with the extra prefix).

Compile the business component.

2.6 Customizing the Siebel Adapter IFrame Display

You can customize the Siebel Adapter in the ways described in the following sections:

Section 2.6.1, "Add Custom Buttons"

Section 2.6.2, "Dynamically Change the Display Mode"

Section 2.6.3, "Change Display Colors"

2.6.1 Add Custom Buttons

Follow these steps to add a custom button to the IFrame to implement an additional function.

Using Component Manager, create a custom component. Create an include resource that overrides the following resource includes:

js_custom_siebel_functions

custom_configurable_btn_bar

js_custom_configurable_btn_bar

After applying these resource includes, enable the component in Content Server.

js_custom_siebel_functions

The super.js_custom_siebel_functions must be included for the main button bar to display. This include adds a javascript listener attached to the custom button. The YAHOO.oracle.ucm.adapter.extension is the YUI namespace which helps in detecting and preventing name conflicts.

<@dynamichtml js_custom_siebel_functions@>
    <$include super.js_custom_siebel_functions$>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    //namespace definition
    YAHOO.namespace("YAHOO.oracle.ucm.adapter.extension");

       /**
         * Function for custom functionality added to the existing adapter.
         *
         */
        YAHOO.oracle.ucm.adapter.extension.customFunctionListener=function(){
            //custom code goes in here
            alert("You have your custom functionality running");
        };
        </script>
<@end@>

custom_configurable_btn_bar

The super include must be present. This code makes the button appear in the user interface.

<@dynamichtml custom_configurable_btn_bar@>
       <$include super.custom_configurable_btn_bar$>
        <a id="customBtn"
href="http://aseng-wiki.us.oracle.com/asengwiki/pages/editpage.action#" >Custom Button</a>&nbsp;
<@end@>

js_custom_configurable_btn_bar

This code associates the listener function with the button code.

<@dynamichtml js_custom_configurable_btn_bar@>
    <$include super.js_custom_configurable_btn_bar$>

YAHOO.util.Event.addListener("customBtn","click",YAHOO.oracle.ucm.adapter.extension.customFunctionListener);
<@end@>

2.6.2 Dynamically Change the Display Mode

As an option, you can configure a special display mode that dynamically overrides the default display configuration settings, hiding one or more buttons and disabling one or more icons. For example, when users are viewing a specific Siebel record type, such as Orders, you might hide the New and Scan buttons to prevent them from adding new attachments to orders, and disable the Edit icon so they can view but not edit order related attachments.

Here's how it works:

By default, no dynamic display mode is configured. Under normal default settings, buttons in the IFrame are displayed according to their configuration variable settings (see Section 2.2.4, "Set the Configuration Variables"). Columns are displayed according to the user's field configuration settings, and if columns are displayed, their icons are always functional.

A parameter called SiebelDisplayMode sets the alternate display mode's combination of disabled buttons and icons. When set, this parameter overrides the other configuration variables (for example, AdapterAppCheckinBtn=true). The SiebelDisplayMode parameter is an integer that you calculate. During display, the integer is translated to dynamically determine the button and icon status.

You activate the alternate dynamic display mode by configuring a secondary symbolic URL for the IFrame and specifying the SiebelDisplayMode parameter within it. Then, for business objects that require the alternate display mode, you change the symbolic URL to point to the secondary symbolic URL.

2.6.2.1 Calculate the SiebelDisplayMode Integer

Each button and icon is assigned an integer value, as shown in Figure 2-5 and listed in Table 2-4. Calculate the display mode integer by adding the integer value of each button and icon to be disabled.

For example, to disable the Edit and Properties icons and hide the New, Scan, Detach, and Configure buttons, calculate the SiebelDisplayMode value as follows:

21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 28 = 318

Note:

Setting the SiebelDisplayMode value to 0 displays all buttons and enables all icons, overriding any specified values in the config.cfg file.

Note:

To hide custom buttons, see Section 2.6.2.3, "Calculate Values for Custom Buttons."

2.6.2.2 Configure Siebel for Special Display Mode

After calculating a display mode integer, as described in Section 2.6.2.1, "Calculate the SiebelDisplayMode Integer," follow these steps to configure the alternate display mode.

In the Siebel Web Client, configure a secondary symbolic URL for the IFrame.

Enter a new name for the URL (for example, UcmServUrl2) and select the same settings as the original URL. For more information, see Section 2.3.4, "Configure the IFrame URL in the Siebel Web Client."

Include an additional argument that specifies the SiebelDisplayMode parameter as shown below and in the illustration that follows:

Name | Required Argument | Argument Type | Argument Value | Append as Argument | Substitute in Text | Sequence #
SiebelDisplayMode | N | Constant | Integer corresponding to display mode | Y | N | 12

For business objects that require the alternate display mode, change the symbolic URL to point to the secondary symbolic URL.

2.6.2.3 Calculate Values for Custom Buttons

If you have added custom buttons to the IFrame (as described in Section 2.6.1, "Add Custom Buttons") and want to hide them in an alternate display mode, include their values in the integer calculation.

The following resource adds the buttons (custombtn1 and custombtn2) to the EnumObj javascript object and the framework calculates their values at run time:

js_custom_button_visibility_handler

<@dynamichtml js_custom_button_visibility_handler@>
    <$include super.js_custom_button_visibility_handler$>
          NAME_ENUM.CUSTOMBTN1="CUSTOMBTN1",
          NAME_ENUM.CUSTOMBTN2="CUSTOMBTN2",
          EnumObj.add(NAME_ENUM.CUSTOMBTN1,"customBtn1",IMG_ENUM.BUTTON);
          EnumObj.add(NAME_ENUM.CUSTOMBTN2,"customBtn2",IMG_ENUM.BUTTON);
<@end@>

The following illustration displays the custom buttons and their calculated values:

2.6.3 Change Display Colors

Follow these steps to change the following colors in the IFrame:

background

highlighted row

hover row

Create a component and override the following resource includes:

css_adapter_background_styling

css_adapter_row_styling

css_adapter_background_styling

In the lines below, specify another background color for the adapterBackgroundColor idoc variable (hexidecimal code recommended). The super include line must be present.

<@dynamichtml css_adapter_background_styling@>
    <$adapterBackgroundColor="#346a2a"$>
    <$include super.css_adapter_background_styling$>
<@end@>

css_adapter_row_styling

In the lines below, change the row colors by specifying different colors for the selectedRowColor and highlightedRowColor idoc variables. The super include line must be present.

<@dynamichtml css_adapter_row_styling@>
    <$selectedRowColor="#eac5a6"$>
    <$highlightedRowColor="#bdc1a3"$>
    <$include super.css_adapter_row_styling$>
<@end@>

2.7 Uninstalling the Adapter

Follow the steps listed in these sections to uninstall the adapter:

Section 2.7.1, "Disable Adapter Components on Content Server"

Section 2.7.2, "Uninstall Siebel Components"

2.7.1 Disable Adapter Components on Content Server

Follow these steps to disable the following adapter components on the Content Server.

A.2 Activating or Deactivating Siebel Objects

Importing the SIF file deactivates certain Siebel applets (see Table A-1). If for some reason you need them to reactivate them, follow these steps.

In the Object Explorer, identify a View that holds the Managed Attachments Applet from the Web client. (Identify a View by selecting About View from the Help menu.)

Expand the View and select View Web Template Item. The list of Applets contained in the View is displayed.

Select an Applet from Table A-1 and activate or deactivate as needed.

Activate an Applet by setting its Inactive Attribute to False.

Disable an Applet by setting its Inactive Attribute to True.

B Configuring Additional Siebel Objects

If the Siebel Adapter for WebCenter Managed Attachments solution needs to be used with additional Siebel entities, over and above those automatically configured (see Section 1.3, "Automatically Configured Siebel Entities"), follow the steps in this Appendix. The Siebel Adapter for WebCenter uses an IFrame to display Managed Attachments. Before use, an IFrame applet must be created and configured for each business object.

This appendix contains the following topics:

Section B.1, "Identifying Objects to Lock"

Section B.2, "Locking Additional Siebel Objects"

Section B.3, "Adding Fields to the Business Component"

Section B.4, "Creating an Applet for the IFrame"

Section B.5, "Modifying Applet View Layout"

Section B.6, "Inactivating Existing Applet from View"

Section B.7, "Adding the New Applet to the View"

Section B.8, "Set IFrame to Refresh When Parent Applet Changed"

Section B.9, "Compiling the Additional Objects Project"

Section B.10, "Configuring the IFrame URL in the Siebel Web Client"

Section B.11, "Testing the Additional Objects Siebel Configuration"

Section B.12, "Creating a SIF File for Export"

Section B.13, "Configuring Content Server"

B.1 Identifying Objects to Lock

Prior to modifying Siebel business objects, you must identify and lock those business components, applets, and views affected. To identify what to lock, do the following:

Log in to Siebel Web Client with User ID: SADMIN.

Select the tab of the business object being modified. For example, select the Agreements tab if modifying a Service Agreement. The object screen is displayed.

Select the Attachments tab. A listing of attachments associated with the existing applet is displayed.

Select About View from the Web Client Help menu. The About View screen is displayed with information about the view, applets, and business components used for the selected object. For example, if modifying a service agreement object, information on the following items might be displayed:

Screen: Agreement Screen

View: Agreement Attachments View

Business Object: Service Agreement

Applets: Applet[0]: LS Medical Agreement Detail Applet; Applet[1]: Agreement New Attachment List Applet;

Business Components: BusComp[0]: Service Agreement; BusComp[1]: Agreement New Attachment;

In this example you are replacing the Agreement New Attachment List Applet (Applet[1]).

Note the information and click OK to close the About View screen.

Figure B-1 The About View Screen

B.2 Locking Additional Siebel Objects

Once the appropriate business components, applets, and views have been identified, you must use Siebel Tools to search and determine the associated projects.

Log in to Siebel Tools with User ID: SADMIN.

Search for the view, applets, and business components that you noted in the About View screen to find the projects associated with each. For example, you may find the following projects associated with a Service Agreement object:

Srvagree (SSV)

LS Medical Terms

Srvagree

Search for the projects you found in step 2 by doing the following:

Select Project in the Object Explorer and press Ctl+Q to display the query dialog screen.

Enter a query string that includes the projects found in step 2 and press Enter. A list of projects is displayed. In this example, the query string would be

Srvagree ?SSV? OR LS Medical Terms OR Manage Attachments?UCM? OR Srvagree

Lock each project found in step 2 by selecting the Locked column next to the project name. This locks all objects, views, applets, business components, and screens that are associated with each project. A check mark is displayed in the Locked column when a project is successfully locked.

Figure B-2 Project Listing with Projects Locked

B.3 Adding Fields to the Business Component

After locking all projects associated with the identified business components, applets, and views, you must add fields to the appropriate business component. For example, to add fields to the Srvagree project, do the following:

Select Srvagree in the Projects List.

Select Field under Business Component in the Object Explorer. The Field List is displayed.

Add the following fields:

Name | Calculated | Calculated Value
UcmServUrl | Yes | UcmServUrl
SiebelEntityName | Yes | xsiebelAgreement
QueryText | Yes | [SiebelEntityName]+" <matches> "+"'"+[Id]+"'"

Note:

Ensure that the correct single quote “`” is used in the last part of the QueryText Calculated Value string. It is typically the character on the key to the left of the number 1 key. Also ensure that there is a space on either side of <matches>.

B.4 Creating an Applet for the IFrame

Once fields are added to the business object, you must create an applet for the IFrame. For this example, do the following:

From the File Context Menu, select New Object. The New Object Wizard is displayed.

Figure B-3 The New Object Wizard Screen

Under the Applets tab, select List Applet and click OK. The New Applet Wizard is displayed.

Figure B-4 The New Applet Wizard Screen

Select Manage Attachments (UCM) as the project.

Enter a descriptive name. For example, Manage Agreement Attachments Applet (UCM).

Enter Managed Attachments as the display title.

Select Service Agreement as the Business Component the applet is to be based on.

Select Admin as the upgrade behavior, then click Next. The Web Layout screen is displayed.

Figure B-5 The Web Layout Screen

Select Applet List (Base/Edit List) from the first list of template options and click the arrow to confirm its use, then click Next. The Fields screen is displayed.

Figure B-6 The Fields Screen with Available Fields Section

Select UcmServUrl from the Available Fields section and click the arrow to move it to the Selected Fields section and click Next. The Fields screen changes to display the Available Controls section.

Figure B-7 Fields Screen with Available Controls Section

Select all controls in the Available Controls section and click the arrow to move them to the Selected Controls section, then click Next.

Click Finish. The IFrame applet is created.

B.5 Modifying Applet View Layout

When created, the IFrame applet uses a generic layout. To view and modify the layout, do the following:

Right-click on the newly created applet and select Edit Web Layout from the contextual menu. The new applet is displayed using the Web Template (base) layout.

Expand Applet in the Object Explorer then expand List and select List Column. The List Columns screen is displayed showing the UcmServUrl as a list control. The UcmServUrl list control is a place holder for the IFrame.

In the Field Retrieval Type column, select Symbolic URL as the attribute.

In the HTML Type column, select Field as the attribute.

Under Applet in the Object Explorer, expand Applet Web Template and select Applet Web Template Item. A screen is displayed listing the available templates in the top section and the available items on the bottom section.

Select Base in the top Applet Web Templates section of the screen. The Web Template dialog is displayed.

Select Analytics Applet from the Name column and click OK. The Web Template dialog closes.

Save all.

Confirm the changes have been saved by right-clicking on the applet and selecting Edit Web Layout from the contextual menu. The applet is displayed using the modified layout.

B.6 Inactivating Existing Applet from View

Before you can use the newly created applet, you must inactivate the old applet from the view. To inactivate the old applet, do the following:

Search for the old view name. Find the old view's name by selecting About View from the Web Client Help menu. In this example, search for the Agreement Attachments View. The Views screen is displayed.

Select the old view in the Views screen.

In the Object Explorer, expand View, then expand View Web Template and select View Web Template Item. The View Web Template Items screen is displayed.

Select the applet in the View Web Template Items section and enable Inactive.

Note:

If editing the properties directly rather than editing the record, set the inactive attribute to True.

B.7 Adding the New Applet to the View

After inactivating the old applet from the view, follow these steps to add the new applet:

In the Object Explorer, expand View, right-click on the view and select Edit Web Layout from the contextual menu. The applet is displayed.

Drag and drop the List applet onto the place holder showing the Child applet. A Pick Record dialog asking for the particular list applet is displayed.

Select the name of the new applet from the list and click Pick. The new applet is added to the view.

B.8 Set IFrame to Refresh When Parent Applet Changed

By default, the new applet caches information when a parent record is displayed. If the parent record is changed, the information in the applet view does not get refreshed. You must add a browser script to ensure the applet information is refreshed by doing the following:

Determine the parent applet of the new Managed Attachments applet by expanding View Web Template under the View section of the Object Explorer and selecting View Web Template Items.

In the View Web Template Items screen, right-click on the parent applet and select Edit Browser Scripts from the contextual menu. Events associated with the applet are displayed in the Object Explorer.

In the General Declaration, add the following:

var applet;
function refresh()
{
   applet.InvokeMethod("ToggleTo");
}

In the Applet_Load event, add the following:

function Applet_Load()
{
   applet = this;
}

In the Applet_ChangeRecord event, add the following:

function Applet_ChangeRecord()
{
   setTimeout("refresh()",10);
}

Note:

To activate the browser script you will need to execute the 'genscript' command. Once you have compiled your work to a new SRF and copied the SRF to your server directory, execute the following command (change to match your environment):

genbscript "ENU\siebel.cfg" D:\sea\siebsrvr\WEBMASTER ENU

You then need to restart IIS by restarting the IIS Admin Service from within the Windows Services screen.

B.9 Compiling the Additional Objects Project

To compile the completed project, do the following:

From the tools menu, select Compile Projects. The Object Compiler screen is displayed.

Select Locked Projects.

Verify that the correct repository is selected in the Siebel repository file field. This repository file must exist in the Web Client installation folder.

Click Compile. The length of time necessary to compile varies and may be extensive.

B.10 Configuring the IFrame URL in the Siebel Web Client

Follow the procedure detailed in Section 2.3.4, "Configure the IFrame URL in the Siebel Web Client."

B.11 Testing the Additional Objects Siebel Configuration

Test the configuration by following the steps in Section 2.3.5, "Test the Siebel Configuration."

B.12 Creating a SIF File for Export

After compiling and testing the project, follow these steps to unlock the modified objects and create a new SIF file for export.

Unlock all projects locked in Section B.2, "Locking Additional Siebel Objects" and select each object.

Right-click on the selected objects and choose Add to Archive from the contextual menu. The Export to Archive File screen is displayed.

In the Export to Archive File screen open, right-click on each object to export and select Add to Archive from the contextual menu. Repeat until all objects for export are added to the archive.

Enter or browse to a location and enter a name for the exported SIF file in the Archive file field of the Export to Archive File screen and click Save. The SIF file is created in the specified location.

B.13 Configuring Content Server

After completing the necessary Siebel configuration, you must configure Content Server to support the exposed entity. This section has the following topics:

Section B.13.1, "Adding Content Server Information Fields"

Section B.13.2, "Adding Rules for Displaying Fields"

Section B.13.3, "Editing Necessary Content Server Resource and String Files"

B.13.1 Adding Content Server Information Fields

You must add the appropriate information fields to Content Server using the Content Server Configuration Manager applet. To add the appropriate fields, do the following:

Log in to Content Server as an administrator.

Open the Administration panel and click Admin Applets. The Admin Applets page is displayed.

Click Configuration Manager. The Configuration Manager screen is displayed.

Ensure that the Information Fields tab is displayed and click Add. The Add Metadata Field Name is displayed.

Enter the name of the field being added. Typically the format is siebel followed by the Entity name. For example siebelAgreement.

Click OK. The Add Metadata Field 'field_name' is displayed.

Ensure that the following options are enabled:

Placeholder

Enable on User Interface

Enable for Search Index

Enable Option List

Modify the Field Caption by adding ww to the beginning of the caption and capitalizing Siebel. For example, siebelAgreement becomes wwSiebelAgreement.

Click Configure. The Configure Option List for 'field_name' screen is displayed.

Select Multiselect List as the Option List Type.

Enable Use view and click OK. The Add Metadata Field 'field_name' screen closes and the Configuration Manager screen is displayed.

B.13.2 Adding Rules for Displaying Fields

To ensure that fields are displayed, you must use Configuration Manager to add rules. To add rules for displaying fields, do the following:

With the Configuration Manager screen still displayed, click Rules. The Rules tab is displayed.

Select SiebelEntityRule and click Edit. The Edit Rule SiebelEntityRule screen is displayed.

Click Fields. The Fields tab is displayed listing the Entities already built.

Click Add. The Add Rule Field screen is displayed.

Under Field Name, select the name of the field you created in Section B.13.1, "Adding Content Server Information Fields." For example, wwSiebelAgreement. The newly created field is typically last on the list.

Click OK. The Add Rule Field screen closes and the Add Rule Field 'xfieldName' screen is displayed.

Click OK. The Add Rule Field 'xfieldName' screen closes and the Configuration Manager screen is displayed.

With the Rules tab displayed, select SiebelEntityRuleUpdate.

Repeat steps 3 through 7. The relevant fields are now added and displayed.

Click OK to close the Configuration Manager screen.

B.13.3 Editing Necessary Content Server Resource and String Files

After adding the information fields to Content Server, you must account for them in the Content Server integ_cfg_tables.htm and ww_strings.htm files. Do the following steps:

Open the integ_cfg_tables.htm file in a standard text editor. The integ_cfg_tables.htm file is located in the following directory:
content_server_install_dir/custom/SiebelEcmIntegration/resources

Add a row to the end of the DocTagDefList table with a cell for the field name entered in step 5 of Section B.13.2, "Adding Rules for Displaying Fields" and the field caption entered in step 8 of the same section. For example:

<tr>
   <td>xsiebelAgreement</td>
   <td>wwSiebelAgreement</td>
</tr>

Open the ww_strings.htm file in a standard text editor. The ww_strings.htm file is located in the following directory:
content_server_install_dir/custom/SiebelEcmIntegration/resources/lang/en

Note:

Only the ww_strings.htm file in the content_server_install_dir/custom/SiebelEcmIntegration/resources/lang/en directory needs to be edited. The change will modify the ww_strings.htm files in the other language directories automatically.

Add the field caption information added in 8 of Section B.13.2, "Adding Rules for Displaying Fields" to the end of the body section. For example:

<@wwSiebelAgreement=Agreement@>

Note:

Agreement was the Siebel Entity added as an example in this appendix. Ensure that you use the name of the Entity that you added.

Restart Content Server. The new Entity is enabled.
