Siebel eScript

[rjames]

Siebel eScript is a scripting or programming language that allows applications developers to write simple scripts to extend Siebel applications. The core language used is JavaScript, a popular scripting language used primarily on Web sites.

Siebel eScript is ECMAScript compliant. ECMAScript is the standard implementation of JavaScript as defined by the ECMA-262 standard.(ECMA – European Computer Manufacturers Association - is a European standards organization for standardizing information and communication systems).

Siebel eScript is an enhanced configuration environment that includes:

1. A fully functional procedural programming language.
2. An editing environment to create and maintain custom Siebel eScript routines.
3. A debugger to assist in detecting errors in Siebel eScript routines.
4. A compiler for the custom Siebel eScript routines.
5. A run-time engine (similar to a JavaScript interpreter) to process the custom Siebel eScript routines.

Internal scripts are created in the Script Editor embedded in Siebel Tools. One can enable either Siebel VB or Siebel eScript, but not both. To choose which language will be active in Siebel Tools, one must make a change to the configuration file.

To specify your scripting language:

1. Choose Start > Find > Files or Folders.
2. Enter *.cfg as the search specification and enter the drive on which your Siebel application and Siebel Tools are located in the Look in: field.
3. For every .cfg file in a Siebel\bin or siebdev\bin directory:
a. Open the file in Notepad or another text editor.
b. Search for the text Scripting DLL.
c. Change the value assigned to this key to sscfjs.dll.

This changes the default scripting language -Siebel VB to Siebel eScript.
