A simple search example with eScript in Siebel Tools

We will search activities.

The user will send an Activity Id and we will display 3 fields based on this: Activity Account Name, Activity Account ID and Activity UID.

First check out Project 'Activity'. Open Business Component Action -> Click on 'Edit Server Scripts' and go to section

'BusComp_PreInvokeMethod'

here add these lines to function BusComp_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName).

function BusComp_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName)

{

case "SearchActivity":

          this.SearchActivity(this.GetFieldValue("Id"));

          return (CancelOperation);

}

The first line will accept the Activity ID to search. The second line 'return (CancelOperation);'  is recommended. 

Then create a function called SearchActivity.

You need to click on (general) and type 'function SearchActivity (FieldName, FieldValue)'

Siebel Tools will automatically create a function section.

Then write this code in the function:

function SearchActivity (FieldName, FieldValue)
var boBusObj = TheApplication().GetBusObject("Action");   /*this activates the Business Object for
 Activity , which is Action */
var bcOppty = boBusObj.GetBusComp("Action");  /*this activates the Business Component for Activity ,  which is Action */
var rowId = GetFieldValue("Id");   //accept the input Activity ID 
with (bcOppty)                            /* this means we do not have to keep typing  bcOppty. Otherwise  we would have to type bcOppty.SetViewMode;, bcOppty.ActivateField("Account Name"); and so on. */
{
SetViewMode(AllView);   //This gives access to data from all Organisations
ActivateField("Account Name");    //Get the Account Name
ActivateField(“Account Id”);         //Get the Account Id
ActivateField(“Activity UID”);       //Get the Activity UID
SetSearchSpec("Id", rowId);       // Search based on input ID = Activity rowID
ExecuteQuery(ForwardOnly);      //We do not need to go back to row 1, better for performance
}
bcOppty = null;
boBusObj = null;
}
