Read Only Views.

This simple feature added in Siebel 7.7 was much expected.

I have worked in many installations where they had to code in escript
or clone buscomps or applets to fake read only Siebel application
behaviour. Obviously in an application sold with pretext to reduce
maintenance, this is really unacceptable.
But many Siebel installations requires that the read only views so as
to give it to external or reporting customers.

Responsibility Buscomp
(S_APP_VIEW_RESP)
has the field READ_ONLY_FLG added to it.

This is exposed also in the Application
Administration/Responsibilities view. Its very easy to make a view
assignment to a particular responsibility to become read only.
