Revising Visibility Filters to Display Correctly After the Merge

Upgrades: Releases 7.0.x, 7.5.x.

Environments: Development environment only.

Reputility log section: Issue 3: Views that need an applet in View Web Template Item ID 1.

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

In Release 7.7, the Show menu was replaced by a visibility filter. This drop-down menu lists alternative views for displaying records.

The postmerge utilities review the repository and verify that filters are defined correctly. The reputility log lists screens that have incorrectly defined filters. The most common problem is that none of the views has an Item Identifier of 1, which prevents the filter from displaying. Review the section of the log referenced above and make needed revisions.

The log is located here:

SIEBEL_TOOLS_INSTALL_DIR\reppatch\log\reputility.log

To revise visibility filters to display correctly

1. Query for one of the views listed in the reputility.log.
2. For the view, select Base > View Web Template Item.
3. Set the Item Identifier for one of the applets to 1.
4. Refine the query to display the Parent Category listed in the log.

   Which applet has the Item Identifier set to 1 is not important. Verify that only one applet has the Item Identifier set to 1.
