The Client
The Siebel Transact Module is embedded within the Siebel client and communicates with the Transact Java Engine using Transact API function calls. These calls are included in the onClick event of buttons or links which are specific to the Siebel Transact shopping cart. Part of integrating the Siebel application with the Order Management System is adding these buttons or links to the Siebel application UI.
You can add the following functions as buttons or links to the Siebel application UI:
- Save Configuration saves a record of the items selected from a page set, a "configuration." Configurations are saved in a configuration list that resides in the Transact database and they can be viewed at a later time.
- Add to Cart adds the configuration to your shopping cart.
- View Configuration List displays a saved configuration. If you select a configuration from a configuration list, the Siebel application displays the page set and selections as they appeared at the time you saved the configuration.
- View Cart displays the contents of the shopping cart.
- Submit Cart transfers an order to the Order Management System.
When a user selects one of these buttons or links, the onClick event handler transmits the configuration data to the Transact Java Engine. Data is transmitted to the Transact Java Engine using HTTP and returns data to the application as an HTML/Javascript response.
The saved configurations reside in the Transact database.
