Example

This Siebel VB code should be placed in the Application_Start procedure for the application of your choice. This example retrieves the first and last name of the user logging into the Siebel application:

Sub Application_Start(CommandLine As String)
Dim oEmpBusObj as BusObject
Dim oEmpBusComp as BusComp
Dim oEmpBusComp as BusComp Dim sLoginName as String
Dim sUserName as String

sLoginName = TheApplication.LoginName
Set oEmpBusObj = TheApplication.GetBusObject("Employee")
Set oEmpBusComp = oEmpBusObj.GetBusComp("Employee")
With oEmpBusComp
   .ActivateField "First Name"
   .ActivateField "Last Name"
   .ClearToQuery
   .SetSearchSpec "Login Name", sLoginName
   .ExecuteQuery
   If (.FirstRecord = 1) Then
      sUserName = .GetFieldValue("First Name")
      sUserName = sUserName + " " + .GetFieldValue("Last Name")
   End If
End With

Set oEmpBusComp = Nothing
Set oEmpBusObj = Nothing
End Sub

CAUTION:  Do not use the RaiseErrorText() method in the Application_Start event. That method does not work in this event, and can cause the Application Object Manager to abort.
