Configuring the Siebel Connector for IFX XML Response

---

The response portion of the cycle is the partner to the outgoing portion in an outbound cycle.

Configuring an XML Hierarchy Converter

The first connector component in the response sequence is a hierarchy converter. For information about Siebel hierarchy converters, see Siebel Workflow Administration Guide.

To configure an XML hierarchy converter

Name the hierarchy converter appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).
Name = Incoming Hierarchy Converter
Type = Business Service
Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

For this component, choose the XML Hierarchy Converter.

Choose the method.

This example uses the XML Document to XML Hierarchy method because, for an incoming message, the conversion is from an XML document to an XML hierarchy that can be used by the FINS IFX XML Dispatcher.

Set the input and output arguments, XML Hierarchy name, and XML document name.

Following are the input argument settings for the example hierarchy converter incoming configuration.

Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
XML Document	Process Property		IFX Document Response

Following are the output argument settings for the example hierarchy converter incoming configuration.

Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
PropSet Out Incoming Hierarchy Converter	Output Argument		XML Hierarchy

Configuring the FINS IFX XML Dispatcher

The second connector component in the response sequence is the dispatcher.

To configure the dispatcher

Name the dispatcher appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

The example uses:

Name = Incoming Dispatcher
Type = Business Service
Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial Dispatcher.

Choose the method.

The example uses the Dispatch Message method.

Set the input and output arguments.

Following are the input argument settings for the example dispatcher incoming configuration.

Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
DispatcherMapName	Literal	FINS IFX Tutorial DispMap
XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	FINS IFX Tutorial Envelope
XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming Hierarchy Converter

Following are the output argument settings for the example dispatcher incoming configuration.

Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
PropSet Out Incoming Dispatcher	Output Argument		XML Property Set

Configuring the FINS IFX XML Converter

The third response component is the converter.

To configure the converter

Name the converter appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

The example uses:

Name = Incoming Converter
Type = Business Service
Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial Converter.

Choose the method.

The example uses the XMLPropSetToPropSet method, because the converter is converting an XML property set from the dispatcher into a Siebel-hierarchy-based property set.

Set the input and output arguments.

Following are the input argument settings for the example converter incoming configuration.

Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
Enable Data Formatting	Literal	True
IFX Application Business Service Name	Literal	FINS IFX XML Extension
XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	FINS IFX Tutorial Envelope
XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming Dispatcher

Following are the output argument settings for the example converter incoming configuration.

Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
PropSet Out Incoming Converter	Output Argument		XML Property Set

Configuring the FINS IFX XML Data Transformation Engine

The fourth response component is the data transformation engine (DTE).

To configure the DTE

Name the DTE appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

The example uses:

Name = Incoming DTE
Type = Business Service
Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial DTE.

Choose the method.

The example uses the Transform to Siebel Hierarchy method because the data is moving from an external system to a Siebel internal system.

Set the input and output arguments.

Following are the input argument settings for the example DTE response configuration.

Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming Converter

Following are the input argument settings for the example DTE response configuration.

Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
PropSet Out Incoming DTE	Output Argument		XML Property Set

Configuring the FINS IFX Transaction Manager

The fifth response component is the transaction manager.

To configure the transaction manager

Name the transaction manager appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

The example uses:

Name = Incoming Transaction Manager
Type = Business Service
Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial Transaction Manager.

Choose the method.

The example uses the Execute Transaction method because the data is being received from the external data source and must be delivered to the Siebel application.

Establish the input and output arguments.

Following are the input argument settings for the example transaction manager configuration.

Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming DTE

Following are the input argument settings for the example transaction manager configuration.

Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
PropSet Out Incoming TransMgr	Output Argument		XML Property Set

This step completes the outbound connector sequence.
