This topic describes how to create a command object. For more information, see About the Method, Business Service, and Target Properties of the Command Object.

To create a command object

1. In Siebel Tools, choose the File menu, and then choose the New Object menu item.
2. Click the Command icon, and then click OK.
3. In the Command dialog box, do the following:
   • Enter the project.
   • Enter a unique name for the command object.
   • Choose the browser or the Siebel Server to handle the method that the command calls.
   • Click Next.
4. In the next dialog box, do the following:
   • Choose the object that handles the command. If a business service handles the command, then choose the business service from the list. You must know if the business service is available for your choice of browser or for the Siebel Server.
   • Enter the method that the command calls. You must choose a method that is available to the business service or Siebel application.
   • (Optional) Provide the argument that Siebel CRM passes to the method. The argument must be correct for the chosen method.
   • Click Next.
5. In the Window dimensions dialog box, do the following:
   • Specify to execute or not execute the command in a new browser window. If Siebel CRM executes the command in a new browser window, then define the height and width for the window.
   • (Optional) Define the HTML bitmap and the tooltip text that Siebel CRM displays on the toolbar button that is associated with the command.
   • Click Next.
6. In the Command dialog box, review your entries.

   If you must make any changes, then click Back.
