Creating or editing a Siebel endpoint

Siebel endpoints provide information that Studio and the Integration Appliance use to connect to a Siebel instance.

Important: Any changes you make to the endpoint, including configuration properties, affects all orchestrations that use that endpoint, as the edits are global, not local.

Procedure

  1. Drag an activity from the Siebel folder of the Activities tab onto the orchestration. The Summary panel is displayed.
  2. Click Pick Endpoint from the Checklist. The Pick Endpoint panel is displayed.
  3. Click one of the following options:
    • Browse...: To select an existing endpoint from the Project Explorer. The Project Explorer shows all the endpoints in the project available for the activity. When you select an endpoint, the endpoint properties are displayed in the Pick Endpoint panel.
    • New: To create a new endpoint. The Create Endpoint window opens.
    • Edit: To edit the existing endpoint. The Edit Endpoint window opens.
      Important: Editing an endpoint affects all orchestrations that use that endpoint in the project as the edits are global, not local.
  4. In the Create Endpoint window, specify connection information or select a configuration property by clicking the icon to the right of the following fields:
    Repository Information Parameters Description
    Server URL The URL you specify should reflect the local version of your Siebel endpoint.

    For English versions, the default is:  http://hostname/eai_enu/start.swe

    Username By default, SADMIN.
    Password By default, a generic password is specified.
    Minimum Connections Specifies the minimum number of connections that Studio uses to connect to a Siebel instance. By default, Studio uses a minimum of  1 connection to connect to a Siebel instance.
    Maximum Connections Specifies the maximum number of connections that Studio uses to connect to a Siebel instance. By default, Studio uses a maximum of  25 connections to connect to a Siebel instance.
    Reclaim Connections Specifies the interval at which the connector checks for idle connections. Idle connections are reclaimed until the minimum number of connections, as specified in the Minimum Connections parameter, is reached. By default, the connector reclaims connections at one minute intervals.
    Connection Timeout Specifies the number of seconds Studio waits to establish a connection to the endpoint before ending the attempt. By default, Studio waits 300 seconds.
    • Specify repository information or select a configuration property by clicking the icon to the right of the following fields:
      Repository Information Parameters Description
      Connect URL By default, jdbc:castironsys:oracle://hostname:port;ServiceName=SID
      Database Driver By default, com.castironsys.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
      Database Name Specifies database name.
      Username Specifies user name.
      Password Specifies password.
    • Click Test Connection to confirm that the parameters you specified allow the project to access a Siebel instance.
      Note: When you configure an endpoint using configuration properties, verify that the configuration properties have valid values. If the configuration property value is invalid or does not exist, the connection test fails.
