Purpose
This technical note provides information about creating a shared library on UNIX, and accessing it from Siebel eScript using the SElib.dynamicLink() method. Shared libraries on UNIX are similar to DLLs on Windows. By implication, the eScript must run within a Siebel Server on UNIX, for example, a business service called by a workflow process.
For additional guidelines regarding calling external DLLs and shared libraries via the SElib Object, refer to "Stability Guidelines When Calling External DLLs/Shared Libraries via SELib Object (eScript) (Doc ID 477418.1)", which is available on the support portal.
If you are running Siebel applications version 7.5.2.214 or earlier, please review "eScript, SElib.dynamicLink : assumes length of string parameter returned from an external library - (Doc ID 477091.1)"on the support portal regarding a potential Object Manager crash and the necessary Maintenance Release to avoid this issue.
