Ever imagined Siebel without SRF compilation?? Well, it will be a reality too soon. Yes, Web Tools is here. With Siebel IP 2015, Oracle has introduced a new application called Siebel Web Tools (CFG file is swtools.cfg). It is a web application we can use to configure our application.
You can actually do your configuration in this application, publish your changes and lo, you have the modifications ready to use.
After I installed Siebel 15, I modified the swtools.cfg to open the application. This is how it looked.
You can select any entity to modify from top left corner and select the object.
Edit the entity as you do in Tools. Then just go to Administration - Runtime Configuration and publish your changes. No compilation!!
Now, Siebel has this only for developer preview in IP 2015. I am not able to do Publish in Sample DB. This is not enabled in Sample DB. Check out above video for a demo.
What Siebel actual did is, create repository object based views just like the ones in tools (In tools, go to Help menu --> About View) to an application. Interesting part is the Runtime Configuration where the data is written to runtime tables.
It will be interesting to see how this is going to change the way we develop Siebel apps in the future.
