SetUserProperty

---

Sets the value of a named business component user property. The user properties are similar to instance variables of a BusComp.

Syntax

oBusComp.SetUserProperty propertyName, newValue

Argument	Description
propertyName	String containing the name of the user property to set
newValue	String containing the property value

Returns

Not applicable

Usage

The advantage of user properties is that they can be accessed from anywhere in the code (including from other applications through COM) using GetUserProperty. An instance variable, on the other hand, can be accessed only from within Siebel VB from the same object on which the variable is declared.

The value of the property is reset every time you instantiate a new business component.

NOTE:  SetUserProperty does not interact directly with user properties defined in Siebel Tools.

Used With

Server Script, Mobile/Dedicated Web Client Automation Server, COM Data Control, COM Data Server, Java Data Bean, CORBA Object Manager

Example

Here is a Siebel VB example.

Sub BusComp_SetFieldValue (FieldName As String)
   Select Case FieldName
      Case "Committed"
         me.SetUserProperty "Flagged", "Y"
   End Select
End Sub

Here is the same example in Siebel eScript.

function BusComp_SetFieldValue (FieldName)
{
   switch (FieldName)
   {
      case "Committed":
         this.SetUserProperty("Flagged", "Y");
   }
}
