Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 UDB for z/OS > Migrating Siebel 6.2.1 Customizations > About Migrating 6.2.1 ScriptsEnvironments: Development environment only. You must migrate scripts on UI objects to server scripts or browser scripts when upgrading to Release 8.0. Server ScriptsServer scripts execute in the Application Object Manager. They existed in prior releases and continue to be supported. These scripts are written in Siebel VB (for Windows platforms) and Siebel eScript (for Windows or UNIX). There are four types of server scripts:
Server scripts enable you to script the behavior of business components, business services, applications, and applets by writing event handlers for events exposed by the scripting model. Browser ScriptsBrowser scripts execute in the browser. Browser scripts are written in JavaScript and interact with the document object model (DOM) as well as the Siebel Object Model available in the high interactivity Siebel Web Client framework. You can script the behavior of Siebel events as well as browser events that are exposed through the DOM. Siebel Tools allows you to write scripts by selecting the appropriate User Agent. For information about browser script techniques, see 476879.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support. This document was previously published as Siebel Technical Note 386. For more information about events that are exposed through the DOM, see Siebel Tools Online Help. You must migrate Release 6.2.1 scripts written on applets to applet server scripts or business component server scripts, or you must rewrite them as browser scripts. Applet script migration includes the following types of tasks:
To identify the number of 6.2.1 applet scripts to be reviewed or migrated, look at the Object List Editor in Flat mode in Siebel Tools. You must review Release 6.2.1 scripts on the business components, business services, and application to identify references to methods, such as UI methods, that can not be accessed from server scripts. To locate server scripts that you may need to modify, run the Siebel Tools Validator on business components, business services, and applications for which the Scripted flag is set to True. You must modify Release 6.2.1 business component and application scripts that contain references to UI methods. For example, you need to replace calls to MsgBox with calls to the RaiseError/RaiseErrorText method. Other modifications may include moving scripts to Browser script. For more information about modifying business components and application scripts, see Siebel Tools Online Help. |
