Outcalls
The Siebel Connector for IFX XML provides default behaviors for a variety of methods (shown in Table 24). If the default behaviors do not suit your needs, the Siebel application allows outcalls to override the defaults.
For example, the Siebel default for the <SignonRq> method is user name and password. You can provide an outcall function for a certificate instead.
The outcall function is activated by the IFX Application Business Service Name parameter. If you want to use an outcall, you define a business service that encloses the outcall functionality, and then enter the business service name in the IFX Application Business Service Name parameter.
If the connector cannot find the business service identified in the IFX Application Business Service Name parameter, default functionality is used instead.
IFX Connector Outcall Methods
This section lists all methods that the IFX connector can use for outcalls. You can implement them using either eScript or VB. For more details, see Tools Online Help.
In Table 24, the input argument values are provided by the Siebel Connector for IFX XML, and the output argument values are returned to the Siebel Connector for IFX XML.
Table 24. Connector Outcall Methods Method Input Arguments Output Arguments Remarks GenerateSignonRq An empty property set Property set contains <SignonRq> aggregate in property set format Generate a customized <SignonRq> aggregate instead of having the IFX connector generate a default <SignonRq> aggregate. GenerateSignonRs Complete IFX request document in property set format Property set contains <SignonRs> aggregate Generate a customized <SignonRs> aggregate instead of having the IFX connector generate a default <SignonRs> aggregate. GenerateSignoffRq An empty property set Property set contains <SignoffRq> aggregate in property set format Generate a customized <SignoffRq> aggregate instead of having the IFX connector generate a default <SignoffRq> aggregate. GenerateSignoffRs Complete IFX request document in property set format Property set contains <SignoffRs> aggregate Generate a customized <SignoffRs> aggregate instead of having the IFX connector generate a default <SignoffRs> aggregate. GenerateUUID A property set with Type = GUID A property set with generated GUID stored as its <Value> Generate a valid GUID to be <RqUID>. ProcessSignonRq Complete IFX request document in property set format Not required1 Process <SignonRq>. ProcessSignonRs Complete IFX request document in property set format Not required Process <SignonRs>. ProcessSignoffRq Complete IFX request document in property set format Not required Process <SignoffRq>. ProcessSignoffRs Complete IFX response document in property set format Not required Process <SignoffRs>. ProcessStatus An IFX response message Not required Process <Status>. This method is called once for every response message. FormatFieldFromXML A property set with A property set with Convert element value from IFX data format to Siebel data format. This method is called for every element when data formatting is enabled. FormatFieldToXML A property set with A property set with Convert element value from Siebel data format to IFX data format. This method is called for every element when data formatting is enabled.
1Process methods do not require output values because the connector is not expecting any value in return. For example, if StatusCode is not 0, you may want to process the information in your own application, but no value is expected by the FINS IFX XML Converter.
