Siebel Integration Object Wizards

Within Siebel Tools, there are multiple wizards associated with integration objects: one that creates integration objects for internal use by the Siebel application, and others that create integration objects for external systems based on Siebel objects. Figure 2 shows the logic of Integration object Wizard and Generate Schema Wizard. The Generate Code wizard (not shown) works in the same manner as the Generate Schema wizard, but it generates Java classes.

Integration Object Builder wizard. This wizard lets you create a new object. It supplies the functionality for creating integration objects from Siebel business objects or integration objects based on representations of external business objects using XML Schema Definition (XSD) or Document Type Definition (DTD). To access this wizard, navigate to the New Object dialog box in Siebel Tools and after selecting the EAI tab, double-click the Integration Object icon to start the Integration Object Builder wizard.

Generate XML Schema wizard. This wizard lets you choose an integration object and output XML schema in XML Schema Definition (XSD) standard, Document Type Definition (DTD), or Microsoft's XDR (XML Data Reduced) format. To access this wizard, navigate to the Integration Objects list in Siebel Tools and select an integration object. Then click Generate Schema to start the Generate XML Schema wizard.

Code Generator wizard. The third wizard lets you create a set of Java class files based on any available integration object or Siebel business service. To access this wizard, navigate to the Integration Objects list in Siebel Tools object explorer and select an integration object. Then click Generate Code to start the Code Generator wizard.

NOTE: Specific instructions on how to use these wizards appear throughout the Siebel eBusiness Application Integration documentation set where appropriate.
