FINS ACORD XML Transaction Manager

The FINS ACORD XML Transaction Manager is responsible for data transactions with a Siebel database. It may invoke the Siebel adapter or another business service configured in its user properties. It is an adapter that resides logically between the Siebel object manager and the rest of the connector. It executes operations specified in an XML message instance as Siebel database transactions.

The transaction manager translates XML command elements into Siebel Adapter operations. The transaction manager either carries out the operation or finds another business service to carry out the operation.

The transaction manager combines return results as a single property set. A property set is an intermediate data store that can be used in subsequent operations within the connector.

For inbound processing, the transaction manager accepts an ACORD XML property set, which may contain multiple integration object instances for multiple transactions. It pairs each individual transaction request with an integration object instance and invokes methods in Siebel eAI Adapter.

For outbound processing, the transaction manager pairs a transaction request with an integration object instance and sends an ACORD XML property set to the FINS ACORD XML DTE.
