Property Sets and Integration Objects

Many eAI business services operate on integration object instances. Since business services take property sets as inputs and outputs, it is necessary to represent integration objects as property sets. The mapping of integration objects, components, and fields to property sets is known as the Integration Object Hierarchy.

Using this representation, you can pass a set of integration object instances of a specified type to an eAI business service. You pass the integration object instances as a child property set of the business service method arguments. This property set always has a type of SiebelMessage. You can pass the SiebelMessage property set from one business service to another in a workflow without knowing the internal representation of the integration objects.
