Siebel eScript Language Reference > Siebel eScript Language Overview > Script Engine Alternatives for Siebel eScriptStarting with Siebel Business Applications release 7.8, there are two versions of the scripting engine available to you. The T eScript engine is the traditional, previously available engine. The ST eScript engine provides enhancements, including strong typing of variables and the Script Assist utility that allows easier script creation. Except for a few key differences, the ST eScript engine is backward compatible with eScript created with the T eScript engine. In this document, the engines are referred to by name only in contexts requiring differentiation. CAUTION: To revert back to the T eScript engine after compiling with the ST eScript engine, you must turn off the ST eScript engine, back out any script you have typed prior to compiling with the ST eScript engine, then recompile with the T eScript engine. You are strongly encouraged to make your decision on an engine prior to allowing any scripting to occur and to clearly communicate the choice and its implications to your entire development team. For information on implementing either of the eScript engines, see Using Siebel Tools. Before you make your choice of engines, you should understand how they differ in their treatment of scripting elements.
For information on Script Assist and how to enable the eScript engine you want to use, see Using Siebel Tools. |
