Designing the Integration

For an outbound Siebel XML integration, you complete three high-level procedures:

• Create a new external Siebel integration object.

  For details, see To create the Siebel integration object.

• Use Siebel Data Mapper to map the fields in the external Integration Object with an internal Siebel Integration Object.

  For details, see To map the data.

• Create a new workflow.

  For details, see To create a new workflow.

To create the Siebel integration object

1. Start Siebel Tools and select File > New Object.
2. Select the EAI tab.
3. Double-click the Integration Object icon.
4. Complete the Integration Object Builder initial page:
   1. Select the Siebel project from the first drop-down list.
   2. Select EAI XSD or EAI DTD Wizard as the Business Service.
   3. Navigate to the path and file of the location of the XSD, DTD, or XML file that you want to use as the basis of the DTD.

      NOTE:  For details on Integration Object Wizard, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II.

5. Save the new integration object.

To map the data

1. Start a Siebel application and navigate to the Siebel Data Mapper.
2. Create the data mapping between the external integration object and an internal Siebel integration object.
3. Save the mapping.

   The new data mapping rules are now in the Siebel Database.
