Example of Using Code to Access Data from the Siebel File System

This topic provides one example of how you can use code to access data from the Siebel File System. You might use code to access data differently, depending on your business model.

If your deployment must include attachment data for any business component, then you must define an integration object that allows you to retrieve the attachment data from the Siebel File System. You use Siebel Tools to create an integration object that includes the required configuration. In this example, you access attachments for the Account business component.

To access data from the Siebel File System

1. Log in to Siebel Tools.
2. From the View menu, choose the Options menu item, and then click the Object Explorer tab.
3. In the Object Explorer Hierarchy window, make sure the Integration Object tree check box is selected, and then click OK.
4. In the Object Explorer, click Integration Object, and then create a new record in the Integration Objects list using the values from the following table.

   Property	Value
   Name	Account Attach IO
   Base Object Type	Siebel Business Object
   Business Object	Account
   Project	Any project that is locked

5. In the Object Explorer, expand the Integration Object tree, and then click Integration Component.
6. In the Integration Components list, create a new record using the values from the following table.

   Property	Value
   External Name Context	Account
   Name	Account
   Parent Integration Component	Leave this blank
   External Name	Account
   External Sequence	1
   Cardinality	Zero or More

7. In the Object Explorer, expand the Integration Components tree, and then click Integration Component Field.
8. In the Integration Component Fields list, add four new records using the values from the following table.

   Name	Data Type	Length
   Integration Id	DTYPE_TEXT	30
   Location	DTYPE_TEXT	50
   Name	DTYPE_TEXT	100
   Primary Organization	DTYPE_TEXT	100

   NOTE:  You can add any other fields from the Account business component. For brevity, only a small subset are included in this example.

9. To create a new Account Attachment integration object, repeat Step 6. Use the values from the following table.

   Property	Value
   External Name Context	Account Attachment
   Name	Account Attachment
   Parent Integration Component	Account
   External Name	Account Attachment
   External Sequence	2
   Cardinality	Zero or More

10. Repeat Step 8 and Step 9, but this time add the integration component fields to the Account Attachment integration component.

    Include all the fields that you require that are defined in the Account Attachment business component. For the Data Type and Length properties, use the same values that are defined for each business component field.

    NOTE:  Add only the integration component fields that your require. Make sure that the Account Attachment integration component is last in sequence. For more information on creating attachment integration objects, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

11. Activate the new integration objects.

    For more information about activating integration objects, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

You can now access data that resides in the Siebel File System for the Account Attachment business component.
