Open_with_url_tmpl Tag of the siebel_meta_info.xml File

You can use the open_with_url_tmpl tag in the definition of an object type. You use this tag to specify a template that Siebel CRM Desktop uses to open records of this object type in the Siebel Web Client. For more information, see Defining the URL That Siebel CRM Desktop Uses to Open the Siebel Web Client.

The open_with_url_tmpl tag includes the following format:

<open_with_url_tmpl>

<![CDATA[

"URL template"

]]>

</open_with_url_tmpl>

Siebel CRM Desktop uses macros in the CDATA section for the attributes that Siebel CRM Desktop uses in the open_with_url_tmpl template. Each attribute includes the following format:

:[:(attribute):]

A series of attributes in the command uses the following format:

:[:(protocol):]://:[:(hostname):]:[:(port):]:[:(own_id):]

where:

• protocol is automatically replaced with the URL protocol. The value is http or https.
• hostname is automatically replaced with the name of the Siebel Server.
• port is automatically replaced with the port number of the Siebel Server.
• own_id is automatically replaced with the object ID that Siebel CRM Desktop uses to open the Siebel Web Client.

For each macro in the command, Siebel CRM Desktop replaces the macro with the actual value at runtime. The definition of the template must be enclosed in a CDATA construct.

For example, you can use the following code for account objects:

<open_with_url_tmpl>

:[:(protocol):]://:[:(hostname):]::[:(port):]/sales_enu/

start.swe?SWECmd=GotoView&SWEView=Account+List+View&SWERF=1&SWEBU=1&SWEApplet0=

Account+Entry+Applet&SWERowId0=:[:(own_id):]

]]>

</open_with_url_tmpl>
