Features
Guide to configuring the analysis of impactful errors and filtering out the insignificant ones. In other words, this guide helps in understanding how Germain can concentrate on errors that impact Siebel CRM Users or Business Processes while excluding the numerous benign ones.
This assumes you have already deployed 1) Germain UX - RUM JS and 2) Germain UX - Engine for your Siebel CRM instance.

Germain UX allows to map all Siebel custom error codes to their corresponding display messages visible to your end users. To configure this mapping please follow the below steps:
Extract all of your Siebel Error codes using
errmsg.exe
Siebel’s utility (available only on Windows platforms). Siebel keeps these codes in the resource catalogs (core.cat, apps.cat, vsia.cat, inst.cat, …) in the %SIEBEL_ROOT%\bin\%language_folder%. Example below shows how to extract these codes from Siebel resource catalog in English language format:CODE%SIEBEL_ROOT%\bin\errmsg.exe /l ENU enu\core.cat > errors.txt
Review
errors.txt
output file and find all of your custom errors, e.g.CODE... SBL-GEN-02011 Error parsing Siebel message file header: incorrect facility name ...
Once all custom error code extracted from the
errors.txt
file, insert them intoSIEBEL_ERROR_CODE_MAPPING
table available in your Germain UX Datastore. Example below for MySQL database:
INSERT INTO SIEBEL_ERROR_CODE_MAPPING (CODE,MESSAGE) VALUES ('SBL-GEN-02011','Error parsing Siebel message file header: incorrect facility name');
