Supported Siebel Interfaces

The Siebel 7 adapter enables OracleAS InterConnect users to use the Siebel eBusiness Application to maintain/synchronize customer, product, pricing, and sales order information.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Siebel Interfaces

• Creating an Implemented Procedure

• Creating a Subscribed Event

Siebel Interfaces

The Siebel 7 adapter allows you to browse and call Siebel Business Services (objects with methods) and Business Components (data sets which you can query and update).

Business Components are representations of a set of one or more joined tables. They have certain "table like" behaviors such as the ability to query a set of records. Business Services are effectively containers for code. Custom business services can be defined using the Siebel Tools, including defining a list of arguments and data types.

Creating an Implemented Procedure

To create an implemented procedure using iStudio:

1. Start iStudio.

2. From File, select and open your project.

3. Expand your project.

4. Expand the Applications folder.

5. Right-click Implemented Procedures and select New.

8. Import attributes from Siebel. You must log on to Siebel.

   If this is the initial login for this machine, enter the correct information.

   If this machine has been logged in to Siebel before, enter the password on the Siebel Login dialog and click OK.

Importing Attributes from Siebel

When you use iStudio to import attributes from Siebel, you must first log on to Siebel. When logging into Siebel from iStudio, the login fields automatically populate, leaving the Password field the only field that requires input.

To import attributes from Siebel:

1. Click Import and select Siebel on the Define Applications View dialog.

   The Siebel Login dialog displays.

   The first time you log on from a new workstation, you are required to enter information in every field that is required for your setup. Subsequent logins from that workstation only require a password to log on.

2. If required, enter information in the following fields:
   • Enterprise--The name of the Siebel Enterprise server.

   • Gateway--The name of the Siebel Gateway server.

   • App Server--The name of the Siebel Application server.

   • Object Manager--The name of the Object Manager file that will be used.

   • User Name--The user name for the system.

   • Password--The user password for the system.

   • Siebel Version--The version of the Siebel System to which you are connecting.

   • Enable View Mode Parameter in Query--If the flag is checked (enabled), additional parameter called viewMode is added to Query method of all Business Components. View mode is one of the security features provided by Siebel. The value of the viewMode parameter at runtime determines the number of records returned by a Query for a Business Component.

3. Click OK.

   The Component Selector dialog displays with Business Components.
