EAI Siebel Adapter Business Service Method Arguments
Each of the EAI Siebel Adapter methods takes arguments that allow you to specify required and optional information to the adapter. You can locate the arguments for each method (and whether it can be used as an input argument, output argument, or both) in Table 24.

Table 25 presents each argument of the EAI Siebel Adapter business service methods.
Table 25. Defining EAI Siebel Adapter Business Service Method Arguments
|
|
|
BusObjCacheSize |
Business Object Cache Size |
Default is 5. Maximum number of Business Objects instances cached by the current instance of the EAI Siebel Adapter. If set to zero, then the EAI Siebel Adapter does not use the cache. |
DeleteByUserKey |
Delete By User Key |
A Boolean argument. Forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use only the user keys to identify a record. |
ErrorOnNonExisting Delete |
Error On Non Existing Delete |
A Boolean argument. Determines whether or not the EAI Siebel Adapter aborts the operation if no match is found. |
ExecutionMode |
Execution Mode |
Used to set the direction of a query on a business component. Valid values are ForwardOnly and Bidirectional. The default is Bidirectional. ForwardOnly is more efficient than Bidirectional, and is recommended in cases where you must process a large number of records in the forward direction only (such as for report generation). For operations that are likely to return more than 10000 records, use ForwardOnly to avoid errors. For more information on executing queries, see the topic on the ExecuteQuery business component method in Siebel Object Interfaces Reference. |
IntObjectName |
Integration Object Name |
Name of the integration object to delete. |
LastPage |
Last Page |
Boolean indicating whether or not the last record in the query result set has been returned. |
MessageId |
Message Id |
The MessageId can be used to specify the ID for the generated message. By default, the EAI Siebel Adapter generates a unique ID for each message. However, if you want to use the workflow instance ID, then you can use this argument to specify the ID. |
NewQuery |
New Query |
Default is False. Boolean indicating whether a new query will be executed. If set to True, a new query is executed flushing the cache for that particular integration object. |
NumOutputObjects |
Number of Output Integration Objects |
Number of output integration objects. |
OutputIntObjectName |
Output Integration Object Name |
The name of the integration object that is to be output. |
PageSize |
Page Size |
Default is 10. Indicates the maximum number of integration object instances to be returned. |
PrimaryRowId |
Object Id |
The PrimaryRowId refers to the Id field in the Business Component, Row_Id at the table level. PrimaryRowId is only returned as an output argument if you are passing in one integration object instance. If you are passing multiple integration object instances, then this argument is not returned as an output argument. To obtain the ID field when multiple integration objects are processed, use the StatusObject argument. |
QueryByUserKey |
Query By Key |
A Boolean argument. Forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use only the user keys to perform a query. |
SearchSpec |
Search Specification |
This argument allows you to specify complex search specifications as free text in a single method argument. For information, see About Using Language-Independent Code with the EAI Siebel Adapter Business Service. |
SiebelMessage |
Siebel Message |
The input or the output integration object instance. |
SortSpec |
Sort Specification |
Default is the SortSpec of the underlying business component. This argument allows you to specify complex sort criteria as a free text in a single method argument, using any business component fields and standard Siebel sort syntax—for examples, see Using Siebel Tools. |
StartRowNum |
Starting Row Number |
Default is 0 (first page). Indicates the row in the result set for the QueryPage method to start retrieving a page of records. |
StatusObject |
Status Object |
This argument tells the EAI Siebel Adapter whether or not to return a status message. |
ViewMode |
View Mode |
Default is All. Visibility mode to be applied to the Business Object. Valid values are: Manager, Sales Rep, Personal, Organization, Sub-Organization, Group, Catalog, and All. Note that the ViewMode user property on the integration object has priority over the ViewMode method argument. |
About the SearchSpec Input Method Argument
The SearchSpec input method argument is applicable to the QueryPage, Query, Delete, and Execute methods. This method argument allows you to specify complex search specifications as free text in a single method argument. Expressions within a single integration component are restricted only by the Siebel Query Language supported by the Object Manager. Integration components and fields are referenced using the following notation: [IntCompName .IntCompFieldName ]
For example, given an integration object definition with two integration components, Account as the root component and Contact as the child component, the following search specification is allowed: ([Account.Site] LIKE "A*" OR [Account.Site] IS NULL) AND [Contact.PhoneNumber] IS NOT NULL
This search specification queries accounts that either have a site that starts with the character A, or do not have a site specified. In addition, for the queried accounts, it queries only those associated contacts who have a phone number. NOTE: The operator between fields for a particular integration component instance can be AND unless between the same field. You use the DOT notation to refer to integration components and their fields.
You can include the child integration component in a search specification only if its parent components are also included.
