Example of Changing Integration Objects (Existing Field)

This topic gives one example of changing an integration object as part of customizing SSSE. You may use this feature differently, depending on your business requirements.

In this example, in the Employee domain, you want to change the name of the EmployeePosition field to Position. To accomplish this, you must change the Intermediate Integration Object for the Employee domain. For more information about Integration Objects, see About SSSE Integration Objects.

NOTE:  This example assumes that the field, itself, has already been renamed in Siebel Tools, but it has not yet been renamed in the Intermediate Integration Object.

To change an Intermediate Integration Object to synchronize an existing field

1. Log in to Siebel Tools.
2. In the Object Explorer pane, select Integration Object, and complete the following substeps:
   1. In the Integration Object list editor, select PIMSI Intermediate Employee.
   2. In the Object Explorer pane, select Integration Component.
   3. In the Integration Component list editor, select EmployeePosition.
   4. In the Object Explorer pane, select Integration Component Field.
   5. In the Integration Component Field list, select EmployeePosition.
   6. In the Siebel Tools menus, select View Windows > Properties Window.
   7. In the Properties pane, modify EmployeePosition field property values as shown in the following table.

      Field Property	Old Value	New Value
      Name	EmployeePosition	Position
      External Name	EmployeePosition	Position
      XML Tag	EmployeePosition	Position
      Parent Name	EmployeePosition	EmployeePosition

      CAUTION:  The value for Name must differ from the value for Parent Name, or data will not synchronize properly.

      NOTE:  The values for External Sequence and XML Sequence are not listed in the preceding table because these settings do not need to be changed when you are modifying an existing field. The Parent Name values in the table reflect the fact that the EmployeePosition Integration Component is the parent of the EmployeePosition field that you are modifying.

3. Save the record.
4. Recompile the SRF for the project.

   Use the recompiled SRF when you make corresponding changes to Data Maps.
