Outbound Integration

The EAI MIME Hierarchy Converter transforms the input Siebel Message into a MIME Hierarchy. Figure 46 illustrates the Siebel Message of a sample Account with attachments. This figure represents both input and output to the MIME Hierarchy Converter.

The output of this process is illustrated in Figure 47.

The first child of a MIME Hierarchy is the XML format of the Sample Account Integration Object instance found in the Siebel Message. The remaining two children are the corresponding children found under Attachments. If there is no child of type Attachments in the Siebel Message, the output is just a MIME Hierarchy with a child of type Document. This document will contain the XML format of the Sample Account integration object instance.
