MVG Issue in Siebel OpenUI

Siebel Open UI have an issue with MVG. The MVG does not display the data.
The pop-up shows an "empty" applet with only the buttons visible.

1. Go to Site Map > Administration Server Configuration > Component Definitions screen.
2. Query for the following in the corresponding fields:
    Component: Object Manager Component (Ex: ePharma , Fins)
    Parameter:   AppletSelectStyle

3. Existing Value: "Applet Select" for the parameter "AppletSelectStyle".
4. Change the value from "Applet Select"   to  Applet Select  (Remove the Quotes).

5. Log off.
6. Restart Siebel Servers.

Login again and test application .. this will work :-)

We can disable open UI feature from server configuration.
To do this goto 
Administration server configuration  -> Enterprise->Component definitions ->Component parameter
query EnableOpenUI make the value as false.
Restart server.

You may not get the old login screen.. It has some changes... But once you login we can see our old siebel :)

How to add custom Javascript file to an applet ?

In order to change the look and feel of the applet or UI, we have to add some JavaScript plugins to the applet This is the very first step in siebel open UI customization. Now lets take a look on that.

TO achive this we are using some user properties
Physical_Renderer Lets give its value as MyRenderer

1) Create a new directory called "custom" under the directory
             " D:\<file system>\client\PUBLIC\enu\IB2012_20\SCRIPTS\siebel"
2) Copy your custom js file lets say  "myUI.js" to the following directory
               "D:\<file system>\client\PUBLIC\enu\IB2012_20\SCRIPTS\siebel\custom"


Next step you have to update the manifest file. To do that
Open the file "D:\<file system>\client\OBJECTS\custom_manifest.xml"

Add a new key in the following section,
<PLATFORM_KEY_SPECIFIC><PLATFORM Name="Desktop">:
<KEY Name = "MyRenderer">
<FILE_NAME> siebel/phyrenderer.js </FILE_NAME>
<FILE_NAME> siebel/custom/myUI.js </FILE_NAME>
</KEY>

compile the applet and open the browser & Test your code.
Please remember if you want to see any CSS changes, you may clear your cache.
