Script Editors

Scripting is used to implement functionality that cannot be achieved declaratively (that is, by changing object properties). The Server Script Editor and the Browser Script Editor are used to add scripts to Siebel objects. Scripting is supported through three features in Siebel applications. These are Siebel VB, Siebel eScript, and Browser JavaScript. For information on scripting, see Application Enhancement Through Scripting and Object Interfaces.

Server Script Editor

The Server Script Editor is used to create and modify Siebel VB and eScript scripts. The Edit Server Scripts functionality is accessed by right-clicking a scriptable entry in the Object List Editor or from the View > Editors > Server Script Editor menu. See Siebel VB Language Reference and Siebel eScript Language Reference for further details.

Browser Script Editor

The Browser Script Editor allows you to write and edit JavaScript that runs within the client browser. The Edit Browser Scripts options is available by right-clicking Applet, Business Component, Application, and Business Service object definitions in Tools. You can also access it from View > Editors > Browser Script Editor menu. The result takes the form of Applet Browser Script, BusComp Browser Script, and so on. Each of these object types has a set of scriptable events, generally including InvokeMethod and PreInvoke Method, as well as object-type specific ones, such as ChangeRecord and ChangeFieldValue for applets. See Siebel Object Interfaces Reference for further details and for a list of scriptable events and callable methods on browser objects.
