Hiiiii USER PROPERTIES

USER PROPERTIES

• • • • User properties are object definitions that are added as children to some objects , to configure specialized behavior beyond what is configured in the parent object definition's properties. These user properties belong to the following Siebel object types: Applet Application Assignment Business Component Business Service Method Arg Control Field Integration Component Field Integration Object List Column View Virtual Business Component

Setting Numbered Instances of a Userproperty • Several user properties can have multiple instances on single BC. these can be represented as User property Name n. • Ex: 1) On Field Update Set n • 2)No Change Field n etc. • Note: These Scenarios will produce unwanted results. • 1)On Field Update Invoke 10, with no instances with numbers less than 10. • 2) Deep Copy 9 and Deep Copy 19, with no instances numbered between 9 and 19

On Field Update Set(BC) • Def: This user property allows you to set the value of a field in the business component when another field is updated. • Syntax: Name: On Field Update Set n • The value of the On Field Update Set user property consists of three quoted parameters separated by a comma and a space, as follows: • "Field. To. Check", "Field. To. Set", "Value", "Condition“ • Requirement: If the Value of Request Category is ‘Other’ Specific Item Value should be Specific Item. If the Request Category Value is updated by other than ‘Other’ Value Specific Item Value should be null.

Aspect User. Properties(CSSBCBase) • This user property provides a dynamic way to use the CSSBCBase class. When a particular aspect has been set, CSSBCBase changes its behavior based on the aspect-related setting described in the user property • If Aspect BC Read. Only: Aspect is defined, and the current aspect is Aspect, the current record becomes read-only when the value of Field Name is Y. • If Aspect Child BC Read. Only: Aspect is defined, and the current aspect is Aspect, the current record's child business components becomes read-only when the value of Field Name is Y. • If Aspect BC No. Insert: Aspect is defined, and the current aspect is Aspect, the user cannot insert new records when the value of Field Name is Y.

Syntax • Field User. Property • Name: Aspect Default Value: Aspect • Value: Expression • BC User. Property • Name Value • • Default Aspect BC Read. Only: Aspect Child BC Read. Only: Aspect BC No. Insert: Aspect Name Aspect Field Name Field

Solution • 1)Create New Calculated Field in BC(Class CSSBCBase) • Name: Aspect Field • • • Value: IIF([Status] = "Not Started", "Y", "N") EX: {IIF([Id] <> " ", "Y", "N") }//Always ‘Y’ 2)Enter User Properties for Calculated Field Name: Aspect Default Value: Aspect Field
