About the Prefix Contact Property

When uploading the Contact's prefix data to Siebel, the data is converted to LIC (language independent code) before saving the data in Siebel. If the data cannot be converted, then the prefix data is discarded. Invalid prefix data cannot be saved (because picklist is bounded) in Siebel.

About the Suffix Contact Property

When uploading the Contact's suffix data to Siebel, the data is converted to LIC (language independent code) before saving the data in Siebel. If the data cannot be converted, then the suffix data is discarded. Invalid suffix data cannot be saved (because picklist is bounded) in Siebel.

About the Birthday Contact Property

Apple iOS supports no year-date data. Internally, iOS stores the year as 1604 for no year-date data. The earliest year-date data that Siebel supports is 1753. So when synchronizing with the iOS CardDAV client or Android CardDAV client, 1753 is used to indicate the no year-date data.

• When uploading data (upload synchronization), any year-date data less than or equal to 1753 is stored in Siebel as the year 1753.

  For example:

  • April 1, 1754 on an iOS and Android CardDAV client uploads to Siebel as 04/01/1754.

  • April 1, 1700 on an iOS and Android CardDAV client uploads to Siebel as 04/01/1753.

  • April 1 on an iOS and Android CardDAV client uploads to Siebel as 04/01/1753

• When downloading data (download synchronization), the Siebel date year 1753 is converted to the year 1604, and the data shows up in the CardDAV client as follows:

  • In the iOS CardDAV client as no year-date data.

  • In the Android CardDAV client as date data with the year 1604.

  For example:

  • 04/01/1754 on Siebel downloads to the iOS and Android CardDAV client as April 1, 1754.

  • 04/01/1753 on Siebel downloads to the iOS CardDAV client as April 1.

  • 04/01/1753 on Siebel downloads to the Android CardDAV client as April 1, 1604.
