  10. Enter the repository name in the Repository Name text box. Repository name is populated with a default value, which represents the Siebel Repository. Enter the repository name if it is not same as the default value. All the metadata needed for discovering the objects are retrieved from this repository.
  11. Specify the Event Store name which is configured in the Siebel server. The activity polls this Event Store for new events.

    1. Select the Object Type as Integration Object.
    2. Click Browse to display the list of integration objects.
    3. Use Integration Object Filter to filter the integration objects during selection.
    4. Optional: Click Refresh to update the object list from the Siebel server.
    5. Select an integration object and click Finish to generate schemas for the map output.
  13. In the Checklist, click Retry. Review the default settings and make the required changes. Similarly, configure the Delivery Rules panel. For more information, see Specifying Retry and Delivery Options for Siebel Activities
  14. The activity polls the event store at configured intervals for update events, and fetches the actual object for that event. This object is sent to the orchestration. After processing, the event is marked as archived in the event store.
  15. Select the Map Outputs in the Checklist. The XML Schema generated to hold the response of the activity is displayed as nodes under the response output parameter in the From Activity panel.
