Channel Objects and Integration Objects


A channel is used to communicate one or more conversation topics; a conversation topic in a publish-subscribe paradigm maps to a Siebel integration object. Integration objects are Siebel metadata defining what Siebel data is replicated.

Integration objects also provide an XML representation of the defined subset of Siebel data. For more details on integration objects, see Customizing the Connector.

The Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications includes a predefined integration object for Global Accounts (as detailed in Table 1), with Contacts, Activities, and Business Address as its children. These integration objects can be customized or new ones created using the integration object wizard to meet the business requirements around global data synchronization.
