Adding the Siebel Adapter

Many workflows between Siebel applications and SAP start or end with the Siebel Adapter. The Siebel Adapter interfaces to the Siebel Database through a business object. You need to add a Siebel Adapter business service box to your workflow diagram each time you want to interface to Siebel applications.

To add a Siebel Adapter business service

  1. From the Workflow Diagram Editor, drag a Business Service box to your diagram.
  2. Use connector arrows to link the box into your flow.
  3. Double-click on the Business Service box to open the Business Service Arguments window.
  4. Edit the Name field to add a name for your workflow step.
  5. From the drop-down list for Business Services, choose the EAI Siebel Adapter.
  6. From the drop-down list for Business Service Methods, choose a method.
  7. Enter input and output arguments.
    1. If you are querying the Siebel Database for an object, you output a Siebel integration object instance in the form of a SiebelMessage.
    2. If you are updating the Siebel Database, you input a Siebel integration object instance in the form of a SiebelMessage.
