How to upload images in Siebel application for further sending via web service?


im newbie in Siebel CRM. I have a task of creating form applet that has functionality of uploading images and also some text records. What I need to do is: send images and some text via WS(f.e. using SOAP) to external application and also save text information in siebel db. My problem is that I cant create form applet with upload button and then submit button that processes given record as I described before. PS: Appreciate if u give detailed information, Thanks !


Solution

  • Such functionality can easily be achieved using Siebel's attachment business components. For instance, under Service Requests, there is an attachments tab. Files can be uploaded here. Later for integration, your could simply use EAI Siebel Adapter BS in a Workflow, that will convert the binary attachment to base64 in the XML, which can be sent out. Users can upload any kind of file in different records.

    Siebel OpenUI can show some images in Contact tiles uploaded into urls intead of files: http://www.brucedaley.com/siebelobserver/2014/02/tiles-and-images.html
