Details

1. Purpose Of This Document

 
In this context, “Configuration” refers to Siebel Tools based modifications of the Siebel Repository and to Web Template customization.

“Scripting” refers to internal scripts that can be added to predefined event handlers through Siebel Tools, as well as to accessing the Object Interfaces API by external applications using the provided interface technologies (COM, Java, XML). This also refers to JavaScript and CSS files customizations specific to Siebel Open UI.

2. Areas Of Responsibility

2.1 Oracle Software Support

Global Customer Support provides 2nd and 3rd level support for Siebel product issues where:

• the product is not behaving as designed or documented
• the customer requires product enhancements to the product
• the Siebel Bookshelf, other documentation, or knowledge base solutions need to be clarified or enhanced

Global Customer Support also provides advice and support for customizations to the Siebel products, where the customer is following standard customization methods such as those documented in Siebel training, Siebel Bookshelf, and My Oracle Support knowledge base solutions. Customizations should also follow best practices as documented in the above sources.

2.2 Oracle Solution Support Engineering (AES)

Solution Support Engineering is a group within Oracle Advanced Customer Services that offer customers industry and technology advice and assistance for a fee. Solution Support Engineering advises customers on how to deploy Siebel to optimally meet business requirements, optimize application performance for end users, and strategies to minimize ongoing maintenance costs. These services are billed to the customer separately from that of Global Customer Support. Advanced Customer Services Sales can provide information regarding the cost and necessary steps to engage Solution Support Engineering to work with an Oracle customer.

With regard to product configuration and scripting, AES provides a number of services, including:

• Design review
• Customization review
• Performance review
• Usability assessment

Please note that while this document uniformly refers to "Solution Support Engineering", this term may also refer to Professional Services, especially if the question is related to design issues or to evaluating the feasibility of a particular approach.

Actions

 The remainder of this document aims to give customers real life examples of the types of questions that fall within the boundaries of product support supported customizations and explain why certain types of questions may be referred on to other groups.

Support topics other than customization, such as installation, administration, integration technologies, or standard application functionality, are not covered by this document.

3. General Differentiation Rules

Siebel Open UI Configuration and Scripting Scenarios...

For any Siebel Open UI Configuration or Scripting scenario, if the customer is not able or does not have sufficiently skilled resources to take an active role in working with Oracle Software Support to analyze and resolve the issue, Oracle Software Support may advise the customer to request billable on-site assistance from Solution Support Engineering.

In the situations that require Solution Support Engineering assistance, Global Customer Support will gather information to categorize the issue, check for the existence of previously recorded causes, and provide generic advice per the standard methods and best practices for customization. If these actions do not resolve the issue they will ask Solution Support Engineering to work with the customer from that point onwards, using information researched by Global Customer Support. Global Customer Support will communicate as early as possible to the customer and to the Customer Service Delivery Manager (if involved) , that the SR may need to be transferred to another group so that scheduling of Solution Support Engineering can be initiated.
