Invoking Signals from Controls and Custom Script

Siebel order management business components route unrecognized InvokeMethod calls to the Context Service business service's RaiseSignal method. All business components of class CSSBCOrderMgmtBase, CSSBCPecBase, and their subclasses, support this routing.

NOTE:  CSSBCPecBase only supports standard signals. It does not support custom signals.

You can invoke signals from controls, such as buttons. You can also invoke signals from a script.

Invoking Signals from a Button

Use the following procedure to invoke signals from a button.

3. Expand the applet list in Object Explorer and click Control.
4. Set the MethodInvoked property of the control to the signal name.
5. Save your changes using the gear icon and submit the workspace for delivery.
