Reviewing View Migration

After migrating views, review them to make sure that the Web layout is accurate.

To review new view migration

  1. In Siebel Tools, go to the View List view.
  2. Search for views that are marked MigN.
  3. For each view of a given type, right-click on the view and select Edit Web Layout.
  4. Review the layout and make any necessary changes to the layout using the View Web Editor.

    If the same changes need to be made for a large number of views, run the Web Layout Wizard to remigrate the views.

The following problems may require remigration.

If you encounter any of these issues, go to Applying the Web Layout to a Set of Views.

NOTE:  Changes that do not fall into any of the above categories need to be implemented manually for each view.

Applying the Web Layout to a Set of Views

If you find that a number of views did not migrate properly, you can use the Web Layout Wizard to migrate a set of views that share the same layout. Once a modified view is migrated it should not be remigrated, because remigrating will cause the view to lose its original layout.

To apply the Web layout to a set of views

  1. Before invoking the Web Layout Wizard for a set of views, identify a model view that contains the desired template and layout.

    NOTE:  You may need to modify a view to obtain the desired characteristics.

  2. Select all the views to be remigrated, and launch the Web Layout Wizard from Siebel Tools by right-clicking and selecting Web Layout Wizard.
  3. Select all the views that you wish to remigrate using the selected model view.

    NOTE:  You can not select views of different types during a single invocation. The wizard does not let you select views of different types during a single invocation.

  4. Select the model view identified in Step 1.
  5. Convert the views.
  6. Review the conversion results for the set of views converted in Step 5. If you are satisfied, go to Step 7. Otherwise, return to Step 1.
  7. Repeat Step 4 through Step 5 for each type of view.

Reviewing Modified View Migration

After you have remigrated views, you need to review them for accuracy.

To review modified view migration

  1. In Siebel Tools, go to the Views List view.
  2. Search for views that are marked as MigM.
  3. For each view, right-click on the view and select Edit Web Layout.
  4. Review the layout, and use the View Web Editor to make any necessary changes.
  5. Repeat these steps until you have reviewed all remigrated views.
