Siebel Open UI

Question

Is any difference in the protocol used and request, response(Content type for communication over network) of Normal Siebel and Siebel OPEN UI?

Answer 1

Hi
I found out the following
1 When Open UI is open, the Browser Script on the Applicaation PreInvoke event fires and scripts are executed.
2 We have browser script that closes IE8 that is executed when the Application PreInvoke event. It looks like this. It works for Siebel 8.1.1.9 when Open UI is on.
function Application_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)
// Requirement is to close the browser window on applicaion logout.
if(name=="Logoff") {
     var wGen = window.top;
     wGen.close();
     return ("CancelOperation");
return ("ContinueOperation");
3 This code doesn't work for IE9 and Chrome. We tested this Code in the customer's environment. This code worked with Chrome, ID8, we haven't tested with ID9 yet.
function WellPoint_Consumer_Financial_Services_Application_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)
if(name=="Logoff") {
     window.open('','_self','');
window.close();
     return ("CancelOperation");
return ("ContinueOperation");
4 We found that Firefox will not allow closing their browser from Browser Script. This opinion is the result of Web Research into this issue.
