Finding a Dock Object for a Business Component


Dock objects are provided for standard Siebel applications. Review the standard dock objects and associated visibility rules thoroughly to see if they satisfy a desired visibility change.

Some important business components and their associated dock objects are shown in Table 35.

NOTE:  Although the Employee and Position records are represented by the Party dock object, which is of Limited visibility, the employee and position records themselves have Enterprise visibility, based on SQL Rule type rules within the Party dock object.

To determine the dock object to which a business component belongs

  1. In the Object Explorer, select the Business Component object, and then query for the desired business component.
  2. Note the Table property of the business component.

    For example, the base table of Opportunity is S_OPTY.

  3. In the Object Explorer, select the Flat tab, select the Dock Object object, and then query in the Dock Object Table field for the table.

    If the table belongs to a dock object, that dock object will be listed. For example, the dock object to which the Opportunity business component belongs is Opportunity.
