Reviewing Siebel Grid-Based Applets


Upgrades from: Siebel 6.x, 7.0.x, & 7.5.x.

Environments: Development environment only.

Reputility log section: "Start Invalid Web Template Item Mapping Clean-up."

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform a Siebel Database Upgrade.

The postmerge utilities help convert many form applets to grid-based layout as of Siebel 7.7.

If a Prior Customer Repository applet that will be converted to grid-based layout has been customized by adding new fields or controls, the utilities put these fields and controls at the bottom of the applet in the New Customer Repository. After the repository merge, you must reposition these fields and controls.

ICL upgrades only: If Incorporate Custom Layouts (ICL) was selected for the repository merge, ICL converts many form applets to grid-based layout. The postmerge utilities then deactivate the grid-based layout and activate the Prior Customer Repository, flow-based form of the applet. For more information on Incorporate Custom Layouts (ICL), see About the Siebel Incorporate Custom Layout (ICL) Upgrade Option.

The reputility.log, lists applets that were converted by the postmerge utilities. Review the applets listed in the section of the log referenced above and revise layouts as needed.

The log is located here:

SIEBEL_TOOLS_INSTALL_DIR is the directory where Siebel Tools is installed.
