Attachments in Siebel

Hey all,
I was wondering where does Siebel store the attachments that were added on for example a Service Request? Because we created an image backup and we moved Siebel to a new server but the attachments are no where to be found with an error SBL-UIF-0023. So can anyone tell me where are attachments stored?
Regards,

Hi Hamez,
Check the parameter "Marketing File System" in the Object Manager Component Definitions Parameter.
Thats the path were the attachments will be stored as .SAF format. It will be available under "att" folder.

Export file Attachments in Siebel

hi ,
we have a requirement to export siebel attachment from Siebel eclinical application. The entity relation is between activity and attachments.
When i am trying to export the files attachments using the following IFB code
[Siebel Interface Manager]
     USER NAME = "sadmin"
     PASSWORD = "****"
     PROCESS = "EXPORTATTACHMENTS"
[EXPORTATTACHMENTS]
     TYPE = EXPORT
     TABLE = EIM_ACT_DTL
     BATCH = 2
     ATTACHMENT DIRECTORY = "f:\sia81\CTMS\siebsrvr\OUTPUT"
     EXPORT ALL ROWS = FALSE
     EXPORT MATCHES     = S_ACTIVITY_ATT,( FILE_NAME LIKE "MarcRendell-PS%")
When runnign this ifb following is the observation
1) the process is extracting all the reocrds activity table to EIM tables and seems like EXPORT MATCHES condition is kinda ignored as there were less numbers of recprds which were expedted.
2) the files are not getting exported to the location ( also tried with SiebFS)
Could you please help me with your inputs which will help me to solve this issue.
Warm Regards
Ashutosh

How to Mass Export Attachments in Siebel 5.5.1

Does anyone have any documentation or guidance on how to mass export attachments out of Siebel 5.5.1 in their original format?

Hi Steve,
Version 5.5? Are you serious. That is a very old version.
Newer versions of Siebel have the ability to do this export with either EAI or EIM. EAI did not exist until version 6.x but EIM did. You can see if the EIM capability was in version 99.5.
If not then one idea would be to use a newer version of Siebel to export the file system.
You don’t indicate what you want to do with the files or why you need to export them. For Siebel upgrades you just have to copy the files from the old file system to the new file system. For Windows environments we recommend using robust copy (robo copy) to do this.

Upload multiple attachments

Hi,
I use the below code to add attachments to Siebel FS - I would like to add all the files under a specific directory as attachment to a specific parent (case) record.
This code adds one specific file successfully - but need to know how to do the same for multiple files at one shot.
thanks.
Venkat.
function WebApplet_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName)
     if (MethodName == "PutFileNow")
               var oBO = TheApplication().ActiveBusObject();
               var oBC = oBO.GetBusComp("HLS Cases Attachment");
               var RetValue;
               oBC.NewRecord(NewAfter);
               RetValue = oBC.InvokeMethod ("CreateFile", "C:\\test.JPG","HLSFileName","N");
               oBC.WriteRecord();
               return(CancelOperation);
     return (ContinueOperation);

What you can do is to make a system call with a good old dir command where you pipe the output to a file and the read the file afterwards.
Have a look at:
Clib.system
Clib.fopen
Clib.fgets
Clib.fclose

How does Siebel CRM Desktop handle attachments... clarifications?

I am not able to read out of the the two sentences in the documentation (How Siebel CRM Desktop Handles Attachments) if attachments are synchronized to CRM Desktop, or if they are accessed upon request via a Windows File Share connection. Also, in case attachments are synchronized to the road warriors, it is not clear to me if they are stored within the OST file or separately, in the file system.
Well, for the last question: as no separate file system is mentioned, I'd usually believe they are stored within the OST. However, I slightly doubt it, as that would inflate the OST file significantly - depending on the number and size of attachments.
Does anybody know?

Thanks Robert.
Do you have any code sample?
I can see that CL_CRM_DOCUMENTS->CREATE_WITH_TABLE takes binary input (parameter FILE_CONTENT_BINARY). And that's exactly what I have. I am, though, in doubt about the non-optional paramters LOIO and PHIO. Also, where do I tell the method which order I am attaching these files to? After running CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN I will have the GUID that identifies the order, but i can't see where to put the GUID in the method above.

Upgrading from Siebel 8.0.1.1 to 8.1.1.2

Hey guys,
I'm trying to upgrade my Siebel Application from 8.0.1.1 to 8.1.1.2 and I have found a site that recommends to download the patch 9318567 but when going to the Oracle Support site the platforms show Microsoft Windows(32-bit) We have our application in Windows Server Enterprise Edition and I can't find the patches for it on the Oracle Support site. So could anyone help me with my problem please? And I noticed that the description of one of the patches is SEBL_ARU so I'm wondering what does the ARU stand for because maybe it can help with my problem or not I'm not sure. If not then if anyone knows where can I get the patch for upgrading to 8.1.1.2 would really help.
Thank you,

Hamzeh
Sorry, due to security and legal reasons, attachments are not supported on this forum so I cannot provide a screenshot.
If you look on the right top corner of the patch dashboard in Flash mode, you will notice a dropdown by default set to value Oracle Solaris on SPARC , just click on the arrow and you will get linux, windows 32, AIX and so on.
If you do not find in the list ,let me know what OS you are searching.

Who else is using new 8.0 Siebel File System Partioning?

Hi All,
Wanted to see if anyone else has successfully implemented multiple file systems in Siebel 8.0?
The process now is different in that Siebel hashes your file name to determine which of the multiple file systems to use instead of search each sequentially like it used to. There is also a utility called sfspartition that you use to move your existing attachments to the correct file system.
There are a number of issues with srfpartition such as the documentation being inaccurate. I am wondering if anyone has successfully implemented and can share their experiences.

How to retrieve deleted Siebel Attachment files

Friends,
An end-user of my Siebel ERM Application has accidentally deleted some of the file attachments under a record .
Is there any possibility of retrieving it ?
I believe that even if you delete attachment files from the GUI , the .SAF files will still not get deleted from the siebel file system directory in the servers.
I only have the deleted attachments' names (Attachment Title) with me now , as it was present in the Audit Trail .
Is there any chance if we can get back the row id of these deleted files and thereby retrieve the file's contents from the SAF files ?
thks in advance .
Regards,
Hari

Luckily I have never been in a scenraio like yours.
But according to the theory it is correct that SAF files will stay in the Siebel FS, even when the record is deleted.
From the top of my head the names of the SAF file consist of the Siebel Table name, ROW_ID and REVISION_NUM (and .SAF).
What you could try to do is to locate the files that don't have a corresponding record in the Siebel Table.
Keep REVISION_NUM out of the filter.
But so far I don't think you can find them with just the attachment title.

Siebel Correspondence - configure to use WebCenter Content (UCM)

Hi,
Is it possible to configure Siebel Correspondence to use Oracle WebCenter Content (aka UCM)?
I can find information on using the attachments functionality but nothing on Correspondence.
Has anybody found any information on this integration and managed to get it to work?
Regards,
Dave

Hi bssr
Thanks for your reply.
I understand that i have differents commit drivers but at the end Webcenter Capture will always communicate with UCM, since you link WC with UCM to get configuration profiles, fields etc.

Quicklook downloads attachments to wrong folder

Tried searching for this but came up empty so I want to try and see if others are wondering why Quicklook in Mail downloads the attachment to a folder different from the one I specified as my Downloads folder, in my case, my Desktop Folder.
I receive an email with an attachment. I use Quicklook (be it the button on the header, pressing the spacebar, or using the contextual menu) to view the file at which time Mail first downloads the attachment. However, it always downloads it to the User/Library/Mail Downloads folder instead of the Downloads folder I selected in Preferences.
Does anyone else have this "problem?" If so, is there a setting for this I am not seeing? I hope it can be changed because I habitually use Quicklook now and that Mail Downloads folder can fill up rather quickly without realizing as I download attachments to specific places after the fact, causing double copies on my hard drive. Hope someone can help.

Andew, thanks for the reply, however, I am with "gumsie" on this one. Like gumsie stated, if I save the attachment using the button in the header or contextual menu, and open the file from there, then there is no real problem. However, if I Open or Quicklook the attachment directly in the Message Window, then Mail does save a copy of the attachment to the /Library/Mail Downloads folder no matter if I saved the attachment before or if I have a Downloads folder set in Preferences. This is what I think is an odd bit of behavior from the software.
In the end, I think there is really nothing we can do about this and the best thing for me to do is just download the attachment to my set Downloads folder, and Open/Quicklook it from there in order to avoid multiple copies on my drive (I deal with largish files so cumulatively multiple copies just take up too much space on the drive). It's too bad Apple hasn't addressed this.
Thank you both for your input. At least now I know that A) I'm not alone in this and B) I just have to change my habits.

Previewing attachments

I was previewing attachments, pictures .png files, at least 30 or 40 of them and then all of a sudden I got an error message that
"this file cannot be previewed. try opening the file in the program in which it was created" and now I can't preview even the pictures I previously did.
What happened? What can I do?

Hi,
This issue can be caused by the temporary files, sometimes Outlook may not handle its temporary file folders well, so cleaning out the folder may solve this issue.
We can follow the steps in this link to empty the temp folder:

Hope this can help you.

BIP Report in Siebel mobile is not working in languages other than English

Hi,
We have upgraded our Siebel from 7.8 to Siebel 8.1 and in that we have moved from Actuate to BIP Reports. We have created a customized report in which we have put in the Filters on '.rtf' file to show a particular set of data. This report is deployed for 3 languages : English (ENU), Portuguese (PTB) and Spanish (ESN).After deploying this report, on Web application, it is working fine for all the languages but we are facing an issue on mobile client, the report is only working fine in ENU but for other languages(PTB & ESN) it is failing (means the filter which we put on '.rtf' is not working on other languages).
Is anybody face this issue and what will be the solution for this?

Hi
I think you need to first translate the smartform into other languages. Before translation, it wont work.
Steps for translation:
1. goto Transaction SE63
2. in R3 Enterprise select form menu
Translation - ABAP Objects - Other long texts
3. select FS - SSF-Smart Form
4. Object Name: choose your smart form
5. select target language
6. press edit

How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

Hi,
This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
Edit.
I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.

I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail. PDF attachments are included in the e-mail as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon. How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon. How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.
