Debugging in another language
Sep/083
Today we were facing an issue in the French and Dutch version of our application. Strangely enough, the issue was not occurring in the English application.
Since I thought it was related to eScript, I wanted to debug the code.
So I opened the Options windows and entered the path to the config file for the Dutch application. For some reason, the application was using the srf file in the ENU folder in stead of the NLD folder.
At first I thought something was wrong with the config file but it seemed ok. Then I checked the options for debugging again but they were all filled in correctly.
Being confused about it, I asked a colleague for help and he found on Supportweb Metalink that I had to pass the parameter for the language in the argument field. Adding /L NLD finally fixed the issue and I could start debugging our Dutch application
Importing/Exporting workflows
Feb/083
Today I ran into a very strange Siebel bug in Tools.
I modified a workflow on our development environment and because we’re in the last week of our UAT phase I wanted to deploy it immediately on the UAT server.
So I connected with Tools to UAT and after doing an export of the workflow from Dev, I tried to import it into UAT.
After selecting the project I wanted the workflow to add to, Siebel gave me the following error which seemed a bit strange:’Cannot perform UpdateRecord on the Business Component Repository WorkflowProcess (SBL-EAI-04421)’
After trying several things, I asked a more experience colleague for help. As it turned out, the solutions was very simple. There where already 11 versions of this workflow and for importing a workflow, this was to much.
So if you run into this error, first delete all obsolete versions of your workflow and retry importing the new workflow. It should work like a charm.
