Error 2

Item

Description

Problem

An error message similar to the following appears after selecting a value from a drop-down list:

The applet field with name " . . . " does not exist (SBL-UIF-00289)

Cause

The User Agent settings for the web browser are incorrect.

Solution

The steps to modify the User Agent settings for the web browser are:

  • Log in to the Siebel Business Application.

  • Navigate to the Administration - Web Browser screen, then the Browsers view.

  • Create a new browser by entering the browser name and version.

  • Add the capabilities for the new browser. For example:

    User-Agent = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; <browsername&version> Parent =
    <browsenamer&version> Accept = image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, */* JumpTab = True
    
    Note: Although the User-Agent value looks incomplete without a closing parenthesis, this is the correct value.
  • After applying these Siebel client parameters, restart the Siebel Mobile application. No browser errors will be returned, no matter what parameters are set on the browser side.
