Automatic login to Siebel thin client

While in development, I used to get bugged up by entering credentials every time application needs to be accessed. Out of frustration I have found way to bookmark the credentials in IE favorites so that it directly takes the user to application home screen.

Generate Random Number (Cont..)

In continuation of my earlier post , I am sharing another way of generating random number in siebel using  vanilla SIS OM PC Service.

SIS OM PC Service is a vanilla service which provides a method to get new system generated row id as output.
The output can be utilised to generate random number by calling RowIdToRowIdNum() in expression.

Workflow:

Step 1 : Service :SIS OM PC Service Method: Get Next RowId
Output: Next Row Id

Step 2: Service: Workflow Utilities
Output : Random Num [Type Expression] : RowIdToRowIdNum([&Next Row Id])


Thanks to Sebestian for sharing this.
