Migrating Browser Scripting

It is not necessary to change your existing client-side browser scripting to run Siebel Open UI. However, to make sure that your applications work the same in multiple browsers, you must make sure that no browser-specific JavaScript is implemented in your existing browser scripts.

Specific methods in Siebel CRM have been enhanced or changed for a variety of reasons, including security. These methods, which apply to all user interfaces, include the following:

• WriteRecord. For more information, see Configuring Access to Business Components from Scripting Interfaces in the Siebel Security Guide.

• SetProfileAttr. This method has been disabled for HTTP calls, for security reasons. By default, a browser script that references SetProfileAttr will not work. You can override this change, although doing so reintroduces the security vulnerability. Any decision to override must be done after careful consideration of the risks. To activate access to SetProfileAttr, set the server parameter EditProfileAttr to True.
