Troubleshooting Postmerge UI Problems

Upgrades: Releases 7.0.x, 7.5.x, 7.7.x.

Environments: Development environment only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

Basic Troubleshooting Guidelines

If views or screens do not display, do the following:

  • Verify that the user has been assigned the correct responsibilities.
  • In Siebel Tools, verify that the screen view and its parents have the Display In Site Map property, and the Display In Page property set to TRUE.
  • Verify that the screen view and its parents have the Viewbar Text and Menu Text properties filled in.
  • If an applet does not display all the fields or controls after upgrade, check in Siebel Tools for a Web template of the same name, but appended with -Expanded and specify this Web template for the applet. These templates provide additional placeholders for mapping fields and controls.
  • In Siebel 7.5, the Business Address business component was replaced with the CUT Address business component. If you are upgrading from a release prior to 7.5, you must modify all links to Business Address applet so they point to CUT Address.

About the Postmerge Utilities Log

After the repository merge, you must run the postmerge utilities. These utilities do the following:

  • Validate UI components to verify they were migrated correctly to the new repository.
  • Modify UI objects to implement new UI features. For example, they modify form applets and multi-value group applets to conform to the UI standard introduced at Release 7.7.
  • Verify that customized UI objects are configured correctly.

The postmerge utilities log lists the actions performed by the postmerge utilities. The log contains the following types of messages:

  • STATUS. These messages provide information on the specific things that the postmerge utilities did. No action is required, so you can ignore these messages.
  • INFO. These messages provide information on the specific things that the postmerge utilities did. No action is required, so you can ignore these messages.
  • WARNING. These messages provide information on UI objects that may be incorrectly configured, so you should review them.
  • ERROR. These messages indicate that a problem has been found that must be corrected.
