Mapping the Inputs

Inputs represent data that is transmitted from the orchestration (variables) to the Siebel endpoint (parameters).

If needed, you can create a custom mapping variable in Source or Destination column by completing the steps in Creating variables.

Procedure

  1. In the Checklist, click Map Inputs. A set of options is displayed to the right, and the To Activity list shows Siebel interface-specific variables. These represent the Request schema of the Integration object previously selected in the Configuration options.
  2. Click Select Inputs.

    The Select Inputs window lists all of the variables associated with the other endpoint.

  3. Choose a variable, then click OK.
    Note: A single variable can contain one or more parameters.
  4. To link the activities, drag a variable from the From Orchestration list onto a parameter listed in the To Activity list.

    If the link is viable, a line, linking the two, is displayed.

  5. Repeat this procedure to link other orchestration variables to Siebel parameters.
  6. To test the input links, click the Test button.

    The Input Test Files table lists all linked variables/parameters.

  7. In the Location column, click the small blue button.
  8. Use the Browse window to select an input test file.
  9. Click Run Test. Test results are displayed in the columns below.
    Tip: You can replace a variable used in the map without changing the links of the map. For more information, see Replacing a Variable used in a Map.
