Properties with Consistent Meanings


The following properties have consistent meanings across object types.

Property
Description
Changed (S)
If TRUE, indicates that changes have been made to the contents of the corresponding object definition or its children since a date and time set in Tools > Options. FALSE indicates that the object definition and its children are unchanged since that time.
Comments (O)
Provides a place for the developer to add descriptive information.
GParent, GGParent (S)
Name of the grandparent or great-grandparent object definition. This is a system-supplied value.
This can be seen for many types of objects in the Object List Editor if you select the Flat tab of the Object Explorer.
Inactive (O)
Value is TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, prevents this object definition from being compiled when you compile your Siebel repository file and being accessed by any other object definition.
Language Code (R)
The abbreviation of the language being used for the object type. For example, ENU stands for U.S. English.
Needs High Interactivity (O)
A TRUE or FALSE value indicating whether high interactivity is being set for an object type. It is recommended that this property not be changed from the default value. Any changes could affect the productivity of the application.
Generally applies to Browser Script objects.
Parent Name, Parent object_defn_name (S)
Name of the current object definition's parent. This is a system-supplied value.
Note that the Parent Business Component property in the Link object type is different from the typical Parent object_defn_name property. It is a user-entered, required property.
This can be seen for many types of objects in the Object List Editor if you select the Flat tab of the Object Explorer.
Project (R)
Identifies the project that contains the object definition.
Redo (O)
Single-level redo of a field change or a record change.
Used by the Locale Management Utility for tracking locale- specific changes.
Repository Name (S)
Identifies the repository that contains the object definition.
Translate (S)
Used by the Locale Management Utility for tracking localization changes.
For Siebel Systems internal use only.
Upgrade Ancestor (S)
The property is used for cases when the developer copies a business component (or applet or report) from an existing version.
The property is set on the copied object to the name of the original that it was copied from. For example, if a copy is made of the Account business component called ESG Account you would set the Upgrade Ancestor property of the ESG Account business component to Account. This instructs the Application Upgrader to upgrade the Sub Account business component in the same way it would upgrade the Account business component.
