Siebel Teller Architecture

The Siebel Connector for Teller extends the functionality of the Siebel Connector for IFX XML to provide Teller-specific data exchange between Siebel and other systems.

A Siebel connector is a configured set of components that allow data to be exchanged between internal and external applications and databases. The Siebel software uses XML (Extensible Markup Language) to format the data so that it can move between systems with different data structures and be based on different database concepts.

The Siebel Connector for Teller is a set of teller-specific XML business messages that extend the capabilities of the Siebel Connector for IFX XML, as shown in Figure 1.

The basic structure of the Siebel Connector for Teller is exactly the same as the basic structure of the Siebel Connector for IFX XML. The methods and arguments used to configure the components are the same, with a few additional arguments for some of the methods. Use the IFX XML Wizard to create the necessary integration objects for the Siebel Connector for Teller.

The main difference between the Siebel Connector for Teller and the Siebel Connector for IFX XML is that you will use the Teller DTD instead of the IFX DTD when creating integration objects.
