1. What is detailed category in configuration, and its use?

ANS. In an application, we see a page tab let say Account. Below that we
have let say My/My Teams/All Accounts. Each has a form applet showing
account name, address etc. Related to this we have several tabs like account
address, account profile…clicking on which show us accounts detail in that
specific area.

So the Account is Aggregate category. My /my teams/all is Aggregate

View…These tabs which will show details of Account is Detail Category. So
any child object of an aggregate category showing details of an entity is
Aggregate category

be sent to an external host and to submit commands to SWE that affect the
behavior of Portal Agents.

8. What value will get stored in the database when a field has both
predefault value and post default value

ANS. Answer is Predefault Value.

Explanation: When user clicks the new record button,predefault value will
get populated in that field, post default value will get stored only when user
doesn’t type any value in the field and saves the record. Since already value
has been populated by predefault property, it will get stored in the database

between the 1st and 2nd bus comp and there is relation ship between 2nd and
3 rd bus comp. but some fields are necessary from the 2nd bus comp. it will
be fetched through the relationship from 1st and 3rd bus comp. this is called
indirect MVL.

18. How do you display the no. of records in a picklist(combo box/drop

provide me

29. What is foreign key table in Siebel?

ANS. foreign key table is the property for a column in the table. it specifies for a
column from which table this reference has been came

OR

This is one of the properties of the column in a table. It specifies the table to
which this column is a foreign key

30. Why do you need Primary in MVG?

ANS. for a multivalue field there is a field called SSA Primary Field available in
the parent BC. this field stores the primary child. which avoids querying on the
child BC for displaying the value in the MVG. this is for performance
improvision. this creates 1:1 Link.

OR

Multi value group applet is a dialog box which displays and maintains a set of
records from another BC associated with currently displayed BC record. One
record in the MVG applet is made primary. The record with primary check box
ticked is the one which gets displayed in the originating applet controls.

OR

A Primary creates a M:1 relationship b/w the Parent and the Child record.
 Thus it increases the performance by allowing a single query using the SQL
join to display both the Parent and the Child records in parent Applet.

Without primaries, each MVG needs a separate query to display a child

record in the parent Applet. With Primary, using a single query, you will be
able to display both the parent and the child records.

31. when do we use genbscript.exe?

ANS it creates the class files for the JavaScript (browser scripts).

ANS. For up gradation and language conversions.....

OR
 In Siebel the text that is displayed on the screens and views are stored in the
repository and compiled to an SRF file. This includes the names of every screen,
views and fields. When you display a page the server uses the SRF file to
determine which fields to show and what test (strings) are associated with each
field. This model of keeping the strings from the view definition is called
symbolic strings.

uses

47. What is an extension table and how is it related to base table?

ANS. Extension table may be 1:1 relation table to the base table or a 1:M
relation to the base table. 1:1 extension table and the base table are logically
considered as a single table. Par_row_idwillbetheforiegnkey.
OR

Extension tables are 1:1 or 1:M extensions of Base tables, like S_PARTY (base)
has S_CONTACT etc. For a 1:1 extension there is implicit join but for a 1:M
extension. You can only extend a base table. For 1:1 there is a PAR_ROW_ID to
ROW_ID join and for a 1:M there is 3 different columns that represents a unique
record.

ANS. From the developers and administrators perspective you have to assign
views, responsibilities for particular position. For applet level visibility , we can
change the boolean value in applet -> controls.

OR

visibility will be controlled by Position and Responsibility in Siebel.

Position dictates the Data level visibility and the Responsibility dictates the view
level visibility.

OR

how do you implement data level visibility using positions

OR

The following components determine the data within a view to which

a user has access.

Business component view mode. A view can have

several applets—lists, forms, or trees. Each applet is based on a
business component. The business component's view mode determines
the allowable parties on which access control can be based for that
business component. The business component's view modes also
determine how the association with the party will be determined, for
example "owned by" or "created by."

 Applet visibility properties.

ANS. To enable the employee to connect to the database using the

Application and have database access, the user corresponding to that
employee should be created in the Database.

80. What is position type field in position applet?

ANS. Position type field is a picklist in position applet

81. What does an opportunity, account contact do in Siebel?

ANS. In siebel, opportunity account and contact are the business entities. and
these entities have relationships for example one account has many
opportunity etc., the relationships are one to one or one to many, many to
many. These business entities are very essential to configure siebel
application.

If your enquiry needs more specific answer your can contact me at

rajaspdbjc@yahoo.co.in

82. How is the opportunity related to an account?

ANS. the relationship between account to oppty

is 1:m

OR

opportunity to account M:1 and account to opportunity 1:M

83. What is the relationship between a view and a b/o?

ANS. View references the business object. Every view is associated with a
particular business object.

84. How do you create extension table to an interface table in Siebel?

ANS. Extension tables are created only for base tables. I think we can not extend
the interface table.

85. Can you create an extension table with an intersection table

ANS. We can not create an extension table with an intersection table

86. How do you create intersection table?

ANS. In Tools select new object wizard in that select Table enter the name of
the table starting with CX_ and select the project and specify the type of table
i.e. an intersection table for the two existing tables

Then it will ask the first Parent Table and foreign key column name for the
first parent table in the same way fill the second parent table and FK column.

87. What is name server? What does it do?

ANS. Gateway server is name server. It acts as a single entry point for
assessing enterprise server. Dynamically registers siebel server and
connection brokering. Stored in sibens.dat file in a shared document.

OR

Name server is the part of gateway server that dynamically registers all
servers in enterprise, serves a connection broker across the enterprise.

88. How is Siebel 7.x architecture different from Siebel 6.x? How is Siebel
7.x architecture different from Siebel 6.x?

ANS. In siebel 7.x it was defined as 1.Physical user interface2.Logical user

interface3.Business layer4.Data layer5.Third party RDBMS The main
difference is , In siebel 6.x Physical interface was not achieved. In Physical
Interface includes web templates, cuss sheets

89. How will you improve your performance in views?

ANS. we can improve the performance by the picklists in a view

OR

The basic factors for performance decrease in views will be. more number of
applets. which led to many links. and more joined fields in a single applet. MVG's
which do not have the primaries set.
90. How will you edit the joined fields values in join?

ANS. Configure picklist to edit value in joined field.

OR

Using picklists and MVGs. MVGs require join field and link as
prerequisites unlike picklists where just a join is enough.

OR

Using picklists and MVGs. MVGs require join field and link as prerequisites
unlike picklists where just a join is enough.

91. What is constrainted picklist? Where you will drop the constraints?

ANS. Constrainted picklist displayed value based on constraint used.

Add field to constraint in pickmap of a field where picklist has configured in

BC and set constraint option of added field to true.

92. What is the use of catch in escript?

ANS. The catch clause is used to handle the exception. To raise an exception, use
the throw statement.
When you want to trap potential errors generated by a block of code, place that
code in a try
statement, and follow the try statement with a catch statement. The catch
statement is used to
process the exceptions that may occur in the manner you specify in the
exception_handling_block.
The following example demonstrates the general form of the try statement with
the catch clause. In
this example, the script continues executing after the error message is displayed:
try
{
do_something;
}
catch( e )
{
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(Clib.rsprintf(
"Something bad happened: %s
",e.toString()));
}

REALTIME QWESTIONS

1. When i run load runner scirpt of Siebel application we are getting

Siebel_row_id error.

please let me know how to solve this issues.

ANS. Scan action correlation can resolve you problem .

Each Time you run the application the server will create new session id

2. what is link specification

ANS. The field value passed as the default value to the child business component
when the link spec is specified

3. What is the primary difference between Siebel 7.5.2 and 7.7 Versions ?

ANS. We are having lot of differences between siebel 7.7 and 7.5.2. the
primary difference among them is " Symbolic strings are available in Siebel
7.7 and not available in 7.5.2".

hence the future scope for up gradation like things are high in siebel 7.7.

OR

The other diff is Workflow has been shifted to Tools so has become a part of
srf.

OR

what is functionality of symbolic strings

4. In i view I have two applets(List and Form)When i change any record

in List Applet immediately Form Applet should become blank. How it
is possible? Plz Explain thru Configuration and Script

ANS. When you create the Applets(list and Form) based on single(same) BC,
you have to configure which fields you want to display in that applet. That
fields only display in that applet.
 If you display one field in both List and form applet means when you
enter value in list applet that will automatically display in form applet.

5. what is different between bounded and unbounded picklist?

ANS. We can enter free text incase of Unbounded Picklist. But, incase of
Bounded Picklist, we can not enter free text.

OR

We can enter free text incase of Unbounded Picklist. But, incase of

Bounded Picklist, we can not enter free text.

6. Optimization techniques in EIM

ANS. ) Limit base tables and columns to be processed by using : only base
Tables, ignore base Tables, only base Columns, ignore base Columns.

2) Always delete batches from EIM tables upon completion. Leaving old
batches in the EIM table wastes space and can adversely affect performance.
For other suggestions on working with batches.

3) Run independent EIM jobs in parallel. Two or more EIM processes can be
started simultaneously by using the Siebel Server Manager.

4) Trace Flag Settings, using Synonyms, primary key only Parameters

Limiting the Number of Records and Rows for Merge Processes.

like this many techniques are there which will optimize the EIM process

7. what is siebm

ANS. siebmtsh.exe is a process created when you bring up siebel servers,

depending on the number of object managers that are enabled the number of
siebmtsh.exe processes increases.tsh.exe

8. Dynamic Picklist is used to Update Join Fields? How?

ANS. Actuavally we cannot modify the join fields we cannot do any

modifications and updations on that fields to do these things we create the
dynamic picklist or pickapplet.dynamic picklist to modify (to enter new records )
in the join fields

9. what is Localization?
 ANS. Modify the object definitions in the local repository

10. What is complex join? Difference with Foreign key Primary Key join?

ANS. Complex joins are joins which have following diffrences from a PK-
FK joins

# Complex joins can have conditional mappings like >,<,>=,NOT,AND,etc

apart from '=' whereas the PK-FK joins are always '='.

# PK-FK joins are always (1-N), whereas complex joins can have (1 - 0,1)
and (0,1 - N) kind of relationships

OR

complex join:- complex join are used in physical layer in between two tables
where ever that do not involved primary key and forgin key relationship.

Foregin Key:- by using the forgin key we can define the joins between two
tables. joins between is 1:M or M:M. if we want to define many:many
relationship we have to use bridge tables.

OR

you mentioned that PK-FK is always 1-N and complex joins can have
(1-0,1) and (0,1-N).

as per my knowledge i understand that 1-N is one -- many relation .

can you tell me what is these relationships (1-0,1) and (0,1-N)

Thanks..

1-N), whereas complex joins can have (1 - 0,1) and (0,1 - N) kind of
relationships

11. what is the difference between 1:1 and 1:M extension tables

ANS. 1:1 extension table is like an extension to the base table. if we do not
have the required table space in the base table for creating new extension
columns, we will use the 1:1 extension table's columns using an implicit join.

in contrast, 1:M extension tables are used for parent child relationship with
the base table. where the 1:M extension has only related to the base table. for
 example, for a contact (S_CONTACT) there will be a number of specialties
in the extension table(S_CONTACT_XM) with the parent child relationship.

OR

In Siebel for the base tables like S_CONTACT suppose you have 3
address for a particular contact. A person is working at 2 places plus his
home address. Now you can not store this is in S_Contact as every contact
has a unique row id and that can not be repeated. So you have
S_CONTACT_XM. i.e an extension table to S_CONTACT but with 1:M
relation.

12. I have created Hierarchical Picklist. IN parent all the values are
displayed. when the values selected in the parent its displays proper
value in the child picklist.

ANS. The search specification for the parent pick list should be "Parent Id is
Null".

13. difference between Fields and single value fields

ANS. multivalue field has the child values from a child BC for the parent record
configured through MVL. single value field will be either from the base table or
joined table.

OR

can explain you the Difference between Single Value Field (SVF) and Multi
Value Field(MVF)

SVF- a field in BC which references a column in a table

MVF- a field in parent BC which references a field in child BC

Field-Identifies and defines a field in a business component. All fields

making up a business component record contain entries from both Single
Value Field and Multi Value Field object types.

14. How can a particular user among four users with same responsibility
can have access to particular view and this view should not be visible to
other users?

ANS. yes by assigning the position and giving a unique, user id he can access
the data
 OR

The new views which are to be restricted from the other 3 users can
be grouped up in a separate responsibility and then the 1st user can be
assigned that the newly created responsibility. This will save time and will ensure
smooth operations as well.

OR

think this is possible only by scripting. given view's item identifier

should be '0'. we need to capture the USERID of the particular user. if that
user id matches the login name then we need to change this view's item
identifier to any other number other than zero.

this script should be written at application level.

OR

The views can also be restricted by personalization...where all the 4 users

will have the same responsibility ...but only a single user can see a specific view.

15. How we will create Drilldown in Form applet..........Please explain

ANS. Usually Drilldowns will be in List Applets only. But, in Siebel 6 there
are Drilldowns on Form applets also. But, these are not similar to those in
List Applets. in order to go to the target view we need to right click on the
applet, on the menu shown we can find the available Drilldowns with Title as
"Go To XYZ View".

OR

It is possible through scripting either Siebel VB/ eScript.

16. What is TPM ?

ANS. It is something related to Siebel Trade promotion Management

OR

TPM = Total Productivity Management. Its a manufacturing term..

17. What is the difference between MVG & Dynamic PickList?

ANS. A new value could be added through an MVG where as Dynamic

Pick Applet could only be used to pick a value from a pick applet which
 could be constrained to show relevant data. A value entered through an MVG
will show up in a Dynamic Pick Applet if the Dynamic Pick Applet is based
on that MVG.

OR

MVG---More than one value associated with Single field

Dynamic Pik list---It drawn value from the BC
