Siebel Scripting Tips

If you are a Siebel  developer then you must have been involved in writing siebel codes. Today, I am writing this post to highlight some tips related to Siebel Scripting.

Comments:

                   Comments are one of the essential ingrediant of Siebel code. When you write comments, you should keep one thing in your mind that comments are not for you. Comments should be very clear to other person.

Below is the sample for reference.

/********************************************************************

   * Function Name: Business Service Name.FunctionName

   * Summary: Add Summary of the function

   * Created By: Name of the Person

   * Created On: YYYY-MM-DD

   * Updated On:YYYY-MM-DD

   * Update Summary: Add Summary of Updated portion of the function

   ********************************************************************/

Variable Declaration:

                                    You should follow all the variable declaration standards while declaring variables in your code. I am mentioning few of them here below.

·         Use Casing when declaring variable, like camelCasing, PascalCasing or UPPERCASING.

·         Variable name should be descriptive, like for contact Id use s_contactId, contactId or ContactId.

·         Variable should be strongly declared, like

Below is the sample for reference.

       var sTxnId:String = Inputs.GetProperty("Txn Id");

       var dTxnStrtDt:Date = null, dTxnEndDt:Date = null;

       var sTxnType:String = null;

       var oTxnBO:BusObject = TheApplication().GetBusObject(“Business Object Name");

       var oTxnBC:BusComp = oTxnBO.GetBusComp("Business Component Name");

Error Handling:

                             Error Handling is also one of the essential part of scripting, So use Try catch block in your code to handle the errors as well.

try

    {

     // Main code goes here……….>>>>>>>>>>>

    }

catch (e)

    {

     // Handle your errors here……….>>>>>>>>>>>

    }

finally

   {

     // Release all your variables here……….>>>>>>>>>>>

    }

Hope this helps you and Your comments are always welcome… Happy Siebeling… J
