Siebel Web Architecture
Overview • At a high level, the Siebel architecture consists of: – Siebel Web clients that access the business data – A Web server that handles interactions with the Web clients – Servers that manage the business data and provide batch and interactive services for clients – A database and file system that store business data Siebel SWSE Clients Web Server Siebel Gateway Enterprise Name Server Siebel Server(s) More Database Siebel File Server System 3-2 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel Web Architecture Overview Reference: "Siebel Enterprise Server Architecture" in the Siebel System Administration Guide. Diagram: The diagram shows a variety of Siebel clients on the left, including a cellular telephone, desktop, PDA, and laptop. The PDA and laptop have local databases. In the middle is a Siebel Web server with the Siebel Web Server Extension installed, then a set of Siebel Servers labeled an Enterprise, and then a database server next to the Siebel File System. Finally, to the right is the Siebel Gateway Name Server. The cell phone and desktop are shown connecting to the Web server, while the PDA and laptop are shown connecting to the database server, with a dotted line between them and the Siebel Servers. The Siebel Web server is also connecting to the Siebel Servers, which are connecting to the database server, the Siebel File System, and (using a dotted line) to the Siebel Gateway Name Server. Details of this diagram will be discussed over the next few slides, and the diagram will be repeated with different areas highlighted. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 2

Automating Business Processes
in Siebel Applications • A business process is a series of activities executed to achieve a business objective • Siebel applications support automating some steps in a company’s business processes – Can automate one or multiple steps in a business process • Automation can result in: – Consistency in execution – Better performance – Enforcement of best practices Customer Request Receive Start Business service Assistance process Service Agent Generate Investigate Provide Manage new SR resolution response Critical SRs 3-4 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Automating Business Processes in Siebel Applications Reference Bookshelf’s Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide Diagram The diagram shows an example business process, which specifies how a service request is handled. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 4
5.
Automating Business Processes
in Siebel Applications Using capabilities such as: • Workflow Processes – Automates steps in a business process • Tasks – Guides users through a series of views to complete a step in business process • iHelp – Use iHelp for assistance with complex procedures • Assignment Manager – Automates assignment of data (such as opportunities and service requests) to the desired people 3-5 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 5
6.
Automating Business Processes
with Siebel Workflow • Siebel Workflow is a general purpose facility for automating steps in a business process • Workflow is a graphic "language" for executing business process steps Step with Customer Request workflow Start service potential What the Service Agent company Generate Examine Manage does new SR Conditions Critical SRs What Siebel Workflow automates 3-6 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Automating Business Processes with Siebel Workflow Diagram The diagram depicts how Siebel Workflow can be used to automate one or more steps in a company's business process. The top half shows the business process for handling Service Requests (SRs), while the bottom half shows a workflow process for automating the Manage Critical SRs step in the business process. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 6
7.
Siebel Workflow Process
• Is an ordered set of steps executed in response to a defined set of conditions • Is used to automate parts of a business process in a Siebel application • Can be used as a solution to a business requirement – Example Requirement: — If an open SR’s Severity is critical for two hours, update the SR’s priority to ASAP, and notify the service manager via email – Workflow Implementation: Workflow Process 3-7 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 7
8.
Workflow Designer
• Workflow processes are created Siebel Tools’ Workflow Designer – Contains workspace and property windows, and a palette Right-click to open Workflow Designer Workspace for designing Workflows Properties of Palette of selected step workflow steps 3-8 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Workflow Designer Diagram The screenshot shows Siebel Tools' Workflow Designer. To view a workflow in the Workflow Designer: • Select Workflow Process in the OE • Query for the workflow process in the list editor • Right-click the workflow definition and select Edit Workflow Process. The Workflow Designer includes a palette of workflow steps and connectors and a design pane, where steps can be dragged and dropped. The Properties window can be used to configure the steps. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 8
9.
Basic Workflow Process
Steps • Every workflow process must have Start and End steps – Start provides an entry point into the workflow – End specifies when a process is finished • A Decision Point step provides branching capability • A connector links steps and can contain branching logic • A Siebel Operation step inserts, updates, or queries BC records • A Business Service step runs a small program Decision Point Connector Siebel Business Operation Service 3-9 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Basic Workflow Process Steps Diagram The diagram shows a workflow process as it appears in the Workflow Designer. The workflow has several basic workflow step types, each with its own color and shape: • Start and End: all workflows have these steps • Decision Point: used to branch • Connector: link steps and can have branching conditions • Siebel Operation: inserts, updates, or queries records • Business Service: executes a program. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 9
10.
Branching
• Is specified on one or more Connectors – Can be specified on a connector following any step that can have multiple branches — Start Step, Decision Step, User Interact Step – Example: Follow this branch if the Severity field = 1-Critical in the BC called Service Request Branching conditions are attached to this connector 3 - 10 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Branching Diagram This diagram shows the workflow seen in earlier slides and highlights the connector labeled Severity Critical. Branching conditions are attached to connectors immediately following a Decision Point step. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 10
11.
Siebel Operation Step
• Performs operations on a business component: – Insert, Update, Delete, Query — Example: Update the SR’s Priority to ASAP Updates the Service Request BC 3 - 11 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel Operation Step Diagram The screenshot shows the same workflow seen earlier in the Workflow Designer. The Siebel Operation step labeled Priority ASAP is selected, and its properties appear in the Properties window to the left of the Design pane. Two properties are highlighted: Business Component = Service Request and Operation = Update. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 11
12.
Siebel Business Service
Step • Runs a Siebel-supplied or custom business service – A business service is a small program that can be reused — Consists of a set of “methods” that specify the action to take — The method invoked is based on the step’s Business Service Method property – Enables business logic to be executed repeatedly in multiple contexts, for example: — Send a notification email to the service agent who owns this SR — Some other examples include calculating shipping costs and taxes, performing a credit check, and performing email services Business service step 3 - 12 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel Business Service Step Diagram The screenshot shows the same workflow seen earlier in the Workflow Designer. The Business Service step labeled Send Email is identified. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 12
13.
Additional Workflow Steps
• Siebel workflows may contain additional types of steps – A Sub Process invokes another workflow process — Can nest workflow processes – A User Interact step navigates to a view and waits for user activity – A Wait step pauses the workflow for a specified period of time before proceeding – A Task step invokes a Siebel task (Task UI) – Error Handling — A Stop step halts the workflow process instance if a predefined exception occurs — An Error Exception connector handles system and user-defined errors 3 - 13 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Additional Workflow Steps User Interact Steps User Interact steps are unnecessary in many workflows: instead, Task steps can be used to guide user navigation. Siebel Task UI is covered in a subsequent lesson. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 13
14.
Invoking a Workflow
Process A workflow process can be invoked by: • Workflow policies • Run-time events • Custom controls Workflow Workflow Run-time Run-time Custom Custom Policy Policy Events Events Control Control 3 - 14 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 14
15.
Workflow Policy
• Is a defined set of conditions and actions – Actions are executed when conditions are met – All policy conditions must be satisfied to invoke action • Is typically used to monitor conditions over time • Does not prevent the user from continuing Workflow Workflow Policy Policy If all conditions Duration == 2 hours Duration 2 hours . . . then are met. . . execute actions Conditions: Conditions: Actions: Actions: --Service Request Status = Open Service Request Status = Open --Invoke the Urgent SR workflow Invoke the Urgent SR workflow --Service Request Severity = Critical Service Request Severity = Critical process process 3 - 15 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Workflow Policy Monitoring Conditions Over Time Workflow in Siebel applications monitors conditions over time by periodically "waking up" and checking to see what read/write activity has occurred in certain parts of the database. Depending on how frequently a workflow checks this read/write activity, there could be a delay before the workflow actually runs. This frequency can be adjusted by the administrator. Diagram The diagram shows the relationships between workflow policies, conditions, and actions. A workflow policy has one or more actions and one or more conditions. If all the conditions for a workflow policy are met, then all of the policy's actions are executed. The example shows a workflow policy with duration (period) = two hours. Its conditions are: • Service Request Status = Open • Service Request Severity = Critical Its action is: invoke the Urgent SR workflow process. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 15
16.
Run-Time Events
• Are a mechanism that allows customer-configured processing to be triggered by user activity • Consist of: – A specification of some user activity such as: — Record being updated — Navigating to or from an applet – The resultant processing: — Execution of a workflow process — Calls to one or more business services — Known as an action set • Example: when a Service Request is saved, execute a workflow to handle high priority Service Requests 3 - 16 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Run-Time Events Run-time events were introduced as part of Siebel Personalization and are described in Bookshelf’s Siebel Personalization Administration Guide, “Tracking Run-Time Events”. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 16
17.
Custom Controls
• User explicitly clicks a custom button or menu item to invoke the workflow • Example Requirement – Add a button to the SR form so the user can click to notify of a change to Critical status Custom control invokes a workflow 3 - 17 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Custom Controls Diagram The screenshot shows an applet with a custom control: a button labeled "Send Critical Notification". A workflow process will be executed when the button is clicked. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 17
18.
Workflow Scenarios
• Can be addressed by one of the three invocation methods: – Workflow Policy — Send out welcome letters at the end of the day to all new accounts that were created that day — Send an email alert to the manager when SR Status = Critical for more than one hour – Run-time Events — Send out a welcome email immediately when a new account is created — Send an immediate email alert to the manager when SR Status is set to Critical – Custom Control — Click Send Info (a new button) on the Account screen to send account summary to the team lead 3 - 18 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 18
19.
Siebel Task UI
• Uses a wizard-like interface to guide users through steps in a task – Consists of a sequenced set of views, each of which collects a small set of relevant data from the user • Extends business process automation to the UI layer 3 - 19 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Business Solution: Siebel Task UI Siebel Task UI extends business process automation to the UI layer as Task UI allows developers to build tasks that direct users through a series of task views in a prescribed order. Siebel Task UI also replaces the use of Interactive Workflows. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 19
20.
Features of Siebel
Task UI • Task UI supports: – Forward and backward navigation through a sequence of views — Allows for a set of records to be reviewed and corrected prior to completion of the task – Branching based on user input – Pausing and resuming tasks if users are interrupted — An instance of the partially completed task is saved in the user’s universal inbox — Context and all data are maintained — Task is resumed from the universal inbox – Transfer of paused tasks to other users 3 - 20 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Features of Siebel Task UI Task UI Task UI refers to both the wizard-like style of the user interface as well as to the underlying Task UI framework that consists of the development, run-time, and administrative features that support this type of user interface Task The term task (in the context of Siebel Task UI) refers in general to a unit of work to be performed by a user as part of larger business process. The term task is also used to refer to a specific task developed using the Task UI framework. Bookshelf uses the term "task UI" to refer to a task as created by a developer. This course uses the term task. Reference “Overview of Siebel Task UI” in Siebel Business Process Framework: Task UI Guide Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 20
21.
Using Task UI
• Click the Task button to expose the task pane – Displays links to tasks that can be invoked in the current application context Task button Task pane Task group (a collection of related tasks) Task link 3 - 21 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Using Task UI Task Group A task group can be associated with a specific view or can be configured to appear in all regular views. An individual task is also assigned to a responsibility and a task link will appear only for users with the corresponding Responsibility. Diagram The screenshot shows the Contact Detail - Activities View on the right. The task pane on the left is highlighted, as is the Task button (which is a check mark on a clipboard) on the application toolbar. The task pane displays several tasks that can be invoked through a task link. The picture also shows several task groups. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 21
22.
Invoking a Task
• Click the link for the desired task – A task view replaces the standard Siebel view – The task pane displays the other views in the task — Provides context for the overall task • Enter data in fields in the first view • Click Next to proceed to subsequent views Click Next to proceed Task pane shows current position in task Enter data 3 - 22 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Invoking a Task Reference “Siebel Task UI Interface Elements” in Siebel Business Process Framework: Task UI Guide Diagram The screenshot shows the Create a Contact task in progress. The task pane displays task steps, with the current step highlighted. On the right is a task view, which presents a simplified form to enter Contact information. Several buttons are visible in the upper right of the task view: Pause, Next, and Cancel. (Previous is grayed-out, because this is the first step in the task.) Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 22
23.
Invoking a Task
• Task views are typically characterized by: – A small number of fields in each applet in the view – A set of navigation buttons (the playbar applet) located above and/or below the applets – Absence of navigation options such as view tabs and hyperlinks Playbar applet Task view Small number of related fields 3 - 23 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Invoking a Task Diagram The screenshot shows the same task as the previous slide. This picture identifies the task view and the playbar applet, which is the set of buttons in the upper right. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 23
24.
Progressing Through a
Task • Enter data in each subsequent view • Click Next to proceed • Click Previous to return to the prior view to inspect or modify previously entered data Task views in a chapter are listed as the user navigates to the view 3 - 24 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Progressing Through a Task Task Chapter A task chapter is an optional grouping of sequential task steps. When task chapters are configured, only the task chapters are shown at first in the task pane. When a user reaches a task step in a task chapter the chapter is expanded and all the steps in that chapter are then displayed. Task chapters provide a mechanism for showing the high-level flow. Diagram The screenshot shows how a task is divided into chapters. The Create a Contact task is currently in the Next Steps chapter, which has two views (Pick an Option and Add Activity to Contact). Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 24
25.
Branching in a
Task • Tasks can branch based on data the user inputs – Example: branching based on lead quality of an opportunity • Some views may explicitly present the user with a choice about the next step to be executed – Select the desired activity and click Next User makes a selection 3 - 25 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Branching in a Task Diagram The screenshot shows an example of branching in a task. The user selects an option from a radio button list: Create an Activity, Associate an Account, Manage Contact Team, or Review and Submit Contact. The task flow will branch based on the user's selection. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 25
26.
Pausing a Task
• Click Pause to suspend task activity – All data and context is retained – A link to the paused task is added to the user’s Inbox • Navigating outside the task view implicitly pauses a task – For example, clicking a screen tab or the site map button Inbox 3 - 26 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Pausing a Task Diagram The screenshot illustrates pausing task execution. The user clicks the Pause button. The paused task is stored in the user’s Inbox (Inbox > My Inbox Items). Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 26
27.
Resuming a Task
• Click the link in the Inbox to resume the task – Task resumes exactly where it was paused Inbox Task view reappears 3 - 27 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Resuming a Task Users can navigate to their Inbox by clicking the link at the bottom of the task pane. They can also use the site map to navigate to the Inbox. Diagram The screenshot shows how to resume a paused task. The user clicks on the task's Name in his or her Inbox and a task view will reappear. Task resumption starts at the point in the task flow where the user paused. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 27
28.
Completing a Task
• Review the data if a final summary view is provided • Click Submit or Finish to complete the task – Commits all remaining uncommitted data to the database • Task view closes and previous standard view is displayed 3 - 28 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Completing a Task Diagram The screenshot shows how to complete task: click Submit in the playbar applet. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 28

Assignment Candidates
• Candidates are instances of entities that data can be assigned to: – Position – Employee – Organization • Examples of candidates: – Accounts can be assigned to both positions and organizations – Activities can be assigned to employees – Service Requests can be assigned to both employees and organizations • Types of candidates must be consistent with the allowed access control mechanisms for the object 3 - 42 Copyright © 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved. Assignment Candidates The allowed access control mechanism for a business component is configured through the creation of BusComp View Mode, a child object type of Business Component. A BC’s view mode can be: • Person • Position • Organization • Group • Catalog Category. A BC can support multiple view modes. For example, Opportunity ownership is determined by Position and Organization. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 42

All rights reserved. Assignment Criteria You can use Siebel Tools to extend the attributes available for use in assignment rules by configuring Assignment Attribute and Assignment Criteria object definitions. These two object types and their child types allow you to create attributes for use in assignment rules and complex criteria. These object definitions link to an Assignment Object definition to make the attributes and criteria available for that assignment object. For information on configuring these objects, see Bookshelf’s Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide, “Basic Assignment Manager Configuration”. Siebel CRM 8.1.x 3 - 43
