Invoking a Siebel Business Service through a calculated field

If you are a siebel geek you know how powerful business services are.In my projects my most reliable object is Business service :-).In this post I will explain how you can invoke a business service through a calculated field.

Syntax

For the calculated field in the calculate value field create an expression as below

InvokeServiceMethod("Business Service Name", "Method", "'Input Argument'='Input Value'","Output Argument")

Using the above method the Business service is called for a method with arguments and value returned as output argument is assigned to the calculated field.

It is as simple as that and hope it helps sometimes.
