1. State model (restrict transition) Restrict the transition between states Restrict transition for login and position If all the three Agreement items are closed then the Agreement should get closed. OR if all the Products in the Opportunity are lost then the Opportunity is also lost http://siebelunleashed.com/closing-service-request-scriptless-siebel/ http://siebelunleashed.com/updating-parent-based-onchild-records/#disqus_thread 2. Stastatic Drilldown: Drilldown on a field in the list applet navigates to the form (detail) applet. However, the record in the form applet is different from the one on which drill down was done. (say drill down is done on 10th record 1-12ABC on the list applet but it navigates to 1-45XYZ in the detail applet). Why? Dril Down 4. Dynamic Drilldown: The drilldown navigates to a view which is not specified in any of the conditions. Why? View wont be registered in http://www.siebeloracle.com/error-using-drilldown-in-siebel-is-not-licensed-for-this-site-sbl-dat00327/ 5. Where are triggers stored? S_ESCL_RULE 6. Where are workflow policies stored? S_ESCL_RULE 7. How is workflow fired?

How can I invoke a popup message in a workflow? No way it will crash the system 9. How can I pass the popup message to other BC which is not related to the one on which the workflow is based? 10. Error management is scripting 12. In an applet, if a record is closed, then all fields in the record should become read-only but for one field. How can this be achieved.
