Summary: This page explains how to onboard a Siebel application.

Register your Siebel applications in the CAST AIC Portal

In the CAST AIC Portal, register two new Applications as follows:

  • One for the Vanilla: the Siebel Repository without any custom code
  • One for the Project: the Siebel Repository that contains the custom code for one or multiple Siebel applications
Note that only ONE application per Siebel repository should be created in the CAST AIC Portal, even though the Siebel repository may contain multiple custom "applications". CAST will extract source code in one go from each Siebel repository.

Deliver the source code for Vanilla

Click here to expand...

To deliver the source code for the Vanilla, you must download and install the CAST Delivery Manager Tool (DMT) on a machine that has access to the database that hosts the Siebel repository for Vanilla. CAST recommends installing the DMT on the same machine as the database is installed on, to take advantage of faster direct disk to disk performance for the code extraction. The DMT establishes a JDBC connection to the database and executes a set of queries. If the DMT is installed on another machine, the network will negatively impact the time required to extract the source code.

  • Once the DMT has been downloaded and installed, you'll have access to the interface:

  • First create a version:

  • The version editor is then displayed:

  • Create a package. In the wizard, select "Siebel" under "Select a vendor specific repository":

  • In the wizard, select the appropriate option as described in the expandable sections below:



  • To extract the source code, click Package...


  • When the extraction has completed, the content state for the Package should display Packaging successful and the action required is Package ready to be delivered

Extraction log messages: GROUP_EXPORTER_RESOLUTION_ERROR_IDENTIFICATION_GROUP_VALUE

It is possible that the following INFO level message may be visible in the Siebel extraction log:

INFO GROUP_EXPORTER_RESOLUTION_ERROR_IDENTIFICATION_GROUP_VALUE Resolution error type in: SIEBEL_APPLICATION for identification group: Siebel_DisplayType on value: Siebel Application"

This is an INFO level message triggered during the "browse" setp of the extraction process and does not, in any way, impact the results of the extraction.

Deliver

  • You can now deliver the source code. To do so, click Deliver…. In the wizard, answer Yes when prompted whether the delivery is complete:

  • When the delivery has completed, the content state for the Package should display Packaging successful and the action required is empty (i.e. nothing further to do).
