WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications
Each scenario provides a complete set of instructions for configuring the adapter so that it can be used by a J2EE component to send or receive requests to the enterprise information file system. Use the enterprise service discovery wizard in WebSphere Integration Developer to configure the adapter, connect to the enterprise information file system, and retrieve information about a Siebel business object or service. Enterprise service discovery creates the Siebel business object or service needed to create a deployable module.
In the tutorials, you use the enterprise service discovery wizard to configure the adapter, connect to the Siebel server, and retrieve information about a Siebel business object or service on the Siebel server. The enterprise service discovery wizard then creates the business objects and interface information needed to interact with the Siebel enterprise information system (EIS) using the Siebel business object or service. The business objects and interface information, along with the adapter, are built into a deployable module.
The adapter supports the exchange of data with the Siebel EIS through two types of Siebel objects: Siebel business services and Siebel business objects. The scenario examples show outbound and inbound operations using Siebel business services and business components.
Outbound processing for Siebel business services
The Insert and QueryByExample operations are demonstrated in this scenario. The Insert operation is used to add an instance hierarchy of the integration object, Account Interface, to the Siebel enterprise information system (EIS), using the Siebel business service, Siebel Account. The QueryByExample operation retrieves the created Account Interface instance from the Siebel EIS.
Outbound processing for Siebel business objects
The Create and Exists operations are demonstrated in this scenario. The Create operation is used to add an instance hierarchy of the business object, Account – ESP, to the Siebel EIS. The Exists operation confirms that a particular Account instance exists in the Siebel EIS.
Inbound processing for Siebel business services
This scenario includes updating an instance hierarchy of Account Interface (not through the adapter) in the EIS. There is an event added automatically (through the Siebel script) to the event component for the corresponding update. The adapter polls the event from the event component and retrieves the updated instance hierarchy using the QueryByExample operation. This is done based on the information available in the event.
Inbound processing for Siebel business objects
This scenario includes retrieving an updated instance hierarchy of Account - ESP. There is an event added automatically (through the Siebel script triggers) to the event component when the corresponding update happens. The adapter then polls the event from the event component and retrieves the updated instance hierarchy based on the information available in the event.
After completing the tutorial, you should be able to perform the following tasks:
The time required to complete each tutorial is about one hour.
These tutorials are for integration developers who design, assemble, test, and deploy business integration solutions.
