This post has some very useful FAQs. These could also fall under Siebel interview questions or Siebel certification exam.

The Major differences between siebel 7.x and 8.x

1) Siebel 8.0 has introduced Task UI for task automations.

2) Business user properties have become drop down list in tools and hence no need to remember syntax for each

Load balancing is maintained by the Gateway server using the third party software Resonate Central Dispatch.

as mentioned above Siebel load bal is done by third party software such as Resonate Dispatch manager….or can be done with the help of lbconfig.txt file, which is generated at siebel server and is place in webserver.which helps in identifying the concerned OM..and transfer the request as per the load too…..read in supoprtweb….nice document is given for it.

While importing product or Account data why we are populating BU_ID ?

bu_id is user key for S_ORG_EXT and S_PROD_INT table. These 2 tables are base tables for Account and Product entities.

Explain when we use the following scenario’s: Base table having extension columns Extension table have extension columns Which one do you prefer, Explain?

In Siebel 7.8 there is no restriction in the number of columns in tables, but depending on the frequency of use and the relationship you should use it discretely (when 1:1 relation is there).

Its better to extent the base table rather than the extension table. As per the Siebel best practice we are supposed to extent the base table only if the required type columns are not present in the extension table.

Suppose there is a search spec on BC, and Applet both. explain the execution of this scenario.

This is not true . Actually BC search specification will be replaced by Applet Search specification(NOT appended) and finally you will get the data queried using Applet search spec.

When we set search spec in BC and Applet it will do an AND between the Search spec of BC and Applet. For Exp: Bc level search spec is Name=Vijay and Applet level Country=India then the records display where Name=Vijay and Country=India.

When we have search spec on both BC and applet, both these search spec will be AND. that is it will retrieve only those records where both the conditions(applet and BC)are satisfied.

How do convert single value fields into multivalue fields in the Field object type found under Business component?

select the ’Multivalued’ property to true. and need to take care about the MVL and Destination Field.

In the list applet field we have 10 records but i have to display only 2 records in list applet,what is the process should i follow

elect that applet in tools and in OBLE there is an option called "HTML no of rows" specify the number of rows u want.

How to find entity Relation in siebel tools.

In Tools,, click the Link Object type and query for both the entities for which u want to see the relation

In Tools. Select the Business Component. Then in ’View’ Menui Select Visualise->View Relationships to see the Entity Relationships

I have a view with form applet on the top and list applet at the bottom.There is "score" field in the list applet.How to display the totals of score in form applet?

Create a MVF in Parent BC,And also a Calculated Field with Calculated Value as Sum [MVF].

In an Applet we have a Button When we click on that Button we need to get an Business Service. How we are going to do it?

Populate Method Invoked of button(control). Add a BC user property for invoking BS using method mentioned on applet control

For script currently in PreCanInvokeMethod that always permits a method to be executed, make use of the ?Named Method n? User Property. Using the existing script on PB Sales Activity Form Applet as an example, the process for making use of the user property instead of the existing script is as follows:
Add a new applet user property to the applet:
Named Method 1: mthdGotoAccount ’INVOKE’, ?mthdGotoAccount?
Note: This user property only works with the ?CSSFrameBase? (for form applets) and ?CSSFrameListBase? (for list applets) classes.

If Gateway Server is not present cant we do Load Balancing?

We can’t do with the 3rd Party load balancer like resonator. but, can do with HTTP load balancer in the web server.

If we have Dynamic Picklist as Bounded Can we add field?

yes we can add the fields in the dyn picklist

If we have Dynamic Picklist as Bounded Can we add field.

Is it posible to access more than one Database at a single siebel application

would u explain how to use or access more than one database at a single siebel application?

a single siebel enterprise server can have one db server(a 3rd party RDBMS) this scenario is possible.
My Query: a single siebel enterprise server can have multiple or more than one db server(multiple 3rd party RDBMS

Yes, you can use vbc access others database

What is User properties? and why we using the User properties?

User properties are object definitions that allow you to configure specialized behavior beyond what is configured in the parent object definition?s properties.
