Adding the Siebel Adapter

Many workflows between Siebel applications and SAP start or end with the Siebel Adapter. The Siebel Adapter interfaces to the Siebel database through a business object. You need to add a Siebel Adapter business service box to your workflow diagram each time you want to interface to Siebel applications.

To add a Siebel Adapter business service

1. Add a business service step to your workflow.

   For specific instructions about how to modify workflows, see the Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide.

2. Use connector arrows to link the box into your flow.
3. Set the following information for your business service step:
   • Enter the name of the business service workflow step.
   • Select EAI Siebel Adapter as the business service for this step.
   • Select a method for the EAI Siebel Adapter.
4. Enter input and output arguments.
   1. If you are querying the Siebel database for an object, you output a Siebel integration object instance in the form of a SiebelMessage.
   2. If you are updating the Siebel database, you input a Siebel integration object instance in the form of a SiebelMessage.

For more information on using the Siebel Adapter, see the Transports and Interfaces: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration guide. See the workflows provided for the SAP standard integrations for examples.
