Configuring the Siebel Application for ODQ Matching Server


Configuring the Siebel application for ODQ Matching Server involves carrying out tasks in Siebel Tools and your Siebel application. This topic is a step in Process of Setting Up ODQ Matching Server for Data Matching.

To configure the Siebel application for ODQ Matching Server, complete the steps in the following procedures:

  1. Configuring Siebel Tools for ODQ Matching Server
  2. Configuring the Siebel Application for ODQ Matching Server

Configuring Siebel Tools for ODQ Matching Server

Configuring Siebel Tools for ODQ Matching Server involves creating a new project for IIR in Siebel Tools, importing sif files (business service, integration objects, and workflow sif files) to it, and modifying some business components. To configure Siebel Tools for ODQ Matching Server, complete the steps in the following procedure.

To configure Siebel Tools for ODQ Matching Server

  1. Create a new project for IIR, then import the business service, integration objects, and workflow sif files with overwrite mode.
    1. Create a new IIR project in Siebel Tools as follows:
      • In the Object Explorer, select the Project object type.
      • In the Object List Editor, right-click and choose New Record.
      • Enter a Name for the project (in this case, IIR) and then step off the record.
    2. Import the IIR sif files into Siebel Tools as follows:
      • Click Tools - Import from Archives.
      • Click Yes on the dialog that opens.
      • On the Import Wizard - Preview window that opens, select the sif file, the option to Overwrite the object definition in the repository, then Next to import the sif file.

        Repeat this step, as required. Import sif files in the following sequence:

        BusinessService.sif
        IntegrationObjects.sif
        Workflows.sif   

        For more information about creating new projects in Siebel Tools and importing objects from an archive file into Siebel Tools, see Siebel Tools Online Help.

    3. After importing the business service and integration objects, compile them into the srf file.
    4. After importing the workflows, deploy and activate them.

      For more information about deploying and activating workflows, see Deploying and Activating Workflows for ODQ Matching Server Integration, and also Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

  2. Modify the Contact business component and List Mgmt Prospective Contact business component.
    1. Select the business component you want to change.
    2. Click Tools, then Lock Project.
    3. Then create new fields or modify existing fields to the business component, as required:

      Change the Contact business component by modifying the field shown in the following table.

      Name
      Calculated
      Calculated Value
      Force Active

      First Name Last Name

      Yes

      [First Name] + " " + [Last Name]

      Yes

      Change the List Mgmt Prospective Contact business component by adding the new fields shown in the following table.

      Name
      Calculated
      Calculated Value
      Force Active

      Prospect Id

      Yes

      [Id]

      -

      First Name Last Name

      Yes

      [First Name] + " " + [Last Name]

      Yes

    4. When finished modifying business components, compile them into the srf file.

Configuring the Siebel Application for ODQ Matching Server

Configuring your Siebel application for ODQ Matching Server involves registering IIR as an SDQ connector and creating administration data (such as, vendor parameters and field mappings) in Siebel for ODQ Matching Server. To configure your Siebel application for ODQ Matching Server, complete the steps in the following procedure.

To configure your Siebel application for ODQ Matching Server

  1. Copy the ssadq_cfg.xml file to the siebsrvr\SDQConnector folder. This file contains the global configuration parameters for IIR.
  2. Copy the operating system-specific IIR libraries to the siebserv\bin folder (Siebel dll, sscaddsv.dll, are already included in the patch). For example:

    On Windows, copy the following IIR connector DLLS to siebserv\bin:

    ssadq.dll
    ssaiok.dll
    ssasec.dll

    On Linux (and other UNIX-like systems), copy the following IIR connector libraries to
    siebserv/lib:

    libssadq.so
    libssaiok.so
    libssasec.so

  3. Register IIR as a new SDQ connector.

    For example, navigate to Administration - Data Quality screen, then the Third Party Administration view, and create a new record with the information shown in the following table.

    Vendor Name
    DLL Name

    ISS

    ssadq

    For more information about connector registration, see Registering New SDQ Connectors.

  4. Set up the following business component-to-operation field mappings for IIR, as shown in the following table.
    Business Component
    Operation

    Account

    DeDuplication

    Contact

    DeDuplication

    List Mgmt Prospective Contact

    DeDuplication

    For more information about setting up field mappings for vendors in the Siebel application, see Mapping of Vendor Fields to Business Component Fields.

  5. Verify that the preconfigured ODQ Matching Server vendor parameter and field mapping values as described in Universal Connector Parameter and Field Mapping Values for ODQ Matching Server are set up.
  6. Verify that your Siebel application integration objects, action sets, and run-time events are set up so that they are in sync with IIR tables. For more information about synchronization, see Synchronizing Siebel Data with ODQ Matching Server Tables.
