Configuring an Attachment Business Component

The Business Component property of the attachment list applet identifies the business component that the Siebel File System uses to store the attachment list data. For example, this business component for the Account Attachment Applet is named Account Attachment.

To configure an attachment business component

1. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer, click Business Component.

2. In the Business Components list, locate the attachment business component you must modify.

3. Make sure the value in the Class property is CSSBCFile or a subclass of CSSBCFile, such as CSSBCSalesTool or CSSBCEventFile.

4. Make sure the Table property references an attachment table.

   For example, the attachment table is S_ACCNT_ATT in the Account Attachment Applet. For more information, see Configuring an Attachment Table.

5. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer, expand the Business Component tree, and then click Business Component User Prop.

6. In the Business Component User Props list, create a new business component user property using values from the following table.

   Name	Value
   DefaultPrefix	Specify the prefix. For more information, see Prefix for the Field Name.

7. In the Business Component User Props list, create a new business component user property using values from the following table.

   Name	Value
   FileMustExist	Use one of the following values: TRUE. If the file does not exist, then the user cannot enter the name of the file. TRUE is the typical value. FALSE. If the file does not exist, then the user can enter the name of the file.

8. Make sure the Predefault property of the FileDockReqFlg business component field is N.

   The FileDockReqFlg references the required FILE_DOCK_REQ_FLG column in the attachment table.
