On Field Update Set User Property

How Do You Use the On Field Update Set User Property?
The On Field Update Set user property allows you to set the value of a field in the business component when another field is updated. The parent object type is business component. 

S_NOTE table

In the Table S_NOTE

Records can be added without any required unique combination of user key. This table does not contain a user key.

Normally Siebel tables have Unique key(User Key) and Primary Key(Row id). But this table only has a Primary key. So we need to run EIM with caution for this table, since each task would add new multiple records into the Database rather than show a normal 'DUP_RECORD_EXISTS' status meaning that these records are already present and will not be inserted again.

ENABLING & DISABLING APPLET BUTTONS:

If it is form applet  then create new controls in controls...tools  >> applet>>control

Please check the Mode in which you have inserted the buttons. It must be Edit or Editlist. You may use PreCanInvoke and CanInvoke method to enable the buttons in script.

Siebel sends HTTP information back to external web systems

There are some situations where Siebel configurators need the ability to send HTTP information back to external web systems, via http from within a script to confirm an order or validate certain operations before the script can continue its normal execution.

Solution:

From a scripting perspective, the Siebel EAI HTTP Transport can be used as a business service providing both GET and POST methods for submitting the information to the external system. It can be invoked either from Browser or Server script using similar syntax, with the exception of the business service method invocation, where the Output property is received differently in the Browser Script.

Another alternative in Standard Interactivity mode where business services are not available in Browser Script is to use the Java Script Open method to construct an HTML page on the fly, which posts the data to the external system.
