Siebel TBUI View cannot render Gantt Chart Applets

I was trying to do a Proof of Concept for a project, and it was around Siebel's Task Based UI system. The scenario was for a Service Request manual assignment system, and the user was supposed to assign the SR to an available agent. If you drilldown on the "Status" field of an Activity from the "Service Request Detail View", Siebel will take you to a Gantt Chart View : "FS AxGanttChart View", where the availability of the agent can be seen in a nicely rendered chart.

 

 

 

Then the Activity can be dragged and dropped into the Gantt Chart applet above. I was trying to move this vanilla functionality into the end of a custom TBUI, and I pulled the top applet "FS Dispatch Board Gantt Applet" into the TBUI.

 

Compiled, and tested.

 

 

Bummer !

 

Gantt Chart applets do not get rendered properly in the TBUI. It breaks the layout completely.

 

 

I guess I'll just have to add this to the list of things I hate about Siebel.

 

Window Live Writer no longer connects to Blogger

Today I started seeing errors when I tried to post to blogger via LivWriter

Turns out, the issue is because Google has made  changes to thier APIs and authentication system, that LiveWriter can no longer authenticate in.

The blogger online composer works fine, but uploading images there is a real pain.

Here is another way out..if you want to post to blogger, but do not want to use the online composer...

you can...just mail it in !

In your blogger account, you can turn on a secure email system, and any email you send to this account will be published automatically !

Go down to Settings-> Mobile and email

Set up a new email id and select "Publish email immediately". Any e-mail you send to this id will be published. So be sure NOT to share this email id with anyone.

You can insert images into the e-mail, and they will be handled by blogger correctly the same way it did for livewriter.

This is how I am posting this post as well..

Enjoy !!
