Don’t ask why, but I recently felt the need to encode a string as Base64. I couldn’t find any out of the box business service to do this so I’ve written a very simple eScript function to achieve the result. [crayon-572132bd92843302414404/] Thanks to the author of this code for the JavaScript on which this […]

I blogged a while back about a third party Email Service Provider (ESP) called dotMailer. They provide a rather snazzy email marketing capability that far surpasses the function of the Siebel Email Marketing Server. They also expose a very functionally rich API via SOAP WebServices and I have been looking at building a Siebel Wrapper […]

Thank you ever so much Rahul Jain for his kind contribution of the Siebel Profile Hunter! This handy little Excel based tool can be used to find instances of profile attributes across a number of entities in your Siebel configuration. Download it now for FREE in the Siebel Store! I also couldn’t resist adding the […]

I mentioned a while back that Oracle seem to be moving their supported platform matrix towards purely 64-bit Operating Systems. From 8.1.1.11 and 8.2.2.4 onwards, Siebel software is only supported on 64-bit OS’s. With the new features of Siebel IP 2013, upgrading is becoming a far more attractive proposition than before. If you’ve ever been […]

I’ve worked with Siebel for 15 years now. I started off working for Siebel Systems UK towards the end of 1999. Man, I feel old! I completed “Siebel Bootcamp” using Siebel 6.0 and in those days we were also still supporting customers on Siebel 98 and below. It was a great time and I learned […]

I’m a massive fan of Visual Studio and writing C# code. The only problem is, it makes Siebel Tools look like a child’s toy and reminds me of how little Tools has evolved over the years! 😉 Anyway, I’ve been an avid user of the “Express” edition of Visual Studio for years but it has […]

UPDATE: Just a quick update to advise readers to check the date of the post. Apologies to those readers not familiar with this cultural oddity! There is much discussion and rumour abound around IP2015 and the new Siebel Composer functionality. There’s also some good news about a more straightforward versioning scheme for future Siebel releases. […]

I’ve worked with Siebel for a very, very long time. As such, I’ve encountered many different design and documentation paradigms – including Oracles own OUM paradigm. How to design a Siebel system? For many years I’ve encountered what I consider to be a dreadful practice – the “Low Level Design” or “Technical Design” that’s essentially an […]

Inspire by the “reloaded” Siebel Hub Business Service Library, I felt motivated to write about the “EAI MSMQ Transport” business service. We use MSMQ extensively in my current project and I’m impressed with the simplicity and power of the technology. The JMS equivalent (“EAI JMS Transport”) has it’s own very nice article from @lex and […]

After years of plugging away at my C# / Siebel experiment, I think it’s time to call it a day. I enjoyed working on the Repository Analyser mainly as an educational experiment for myself but also as a tool to help others. I’ve learned all I can from it and it’s time to move on […]
