Porting Siebel Server Scripts to Browser Side JavaScript

This topic introduces the eScript Porting tool (escriptporter.exe) for porting Siebel Server-side scripts from the database to the Siebel Mobile disconnected client in offline mode. Using this tool eliminates the need to invest time in converting the existing server-side online customizations (originally done using eScript) to offline JavaScript services.

The steps involved in porting Siebel Server-side scripts to browser side JavaScript, shown in the following image, are as follows:

1. Run the eScript Porting tool against the Siebel database. The eScript Porting tool executes SQL queries to extract server scripts for the following:

   • Events defined for the applet, business component, business object and application.

   • Business service methods.

   For more information about the SQL queries that the eScript Porting tool executes, see Using the eScript Porting Tool.

2. The (extracted) escripts are stored in a format which registers them into the Siebel Mobile disconnected framework.

   A format template file is used for the application, applet, and business component and another format template file is used for business component
