Pre-defaulting User Preferences

Going forward I have planned to write up something I learned new in Siebel. Today's catch in Siebel.


Today there was a request about how to default the user preferences values in Siebel.Well I found that there are two ways to do it.But the following changes will overwrite all the previous user preferences.

1.All the user preferences can be set on the Administrator's login and then SPF files on the server can be copied and named appropriately for other users.
2. Or predefault field property on the User Preferences BC can be set to populate the field with appropriate values. Also, this requires deleting the previous User preferences files.So when the user logs in Siebel application will create new spf files bases on the predefault values.

Also saw some basic things a developer must know to start on Siebel integration.Here is the mapping between Siebel definitions and Variable Definitions

Type in Siebel -> XML Element
Property Sets in Siebel - > XML Attribute
Value in Siebel - > Value in XML.

Well that's it for the day..Later.
