Configuring Server Tasks


A server task is an instantiation of a server component. To run a server task, you need to run a component request, which will request for one or more server task to run. The server task you need to run for your Siebel Connector for IAA-XML is Siebel EAI MQSeries Server Transport. The Siebel EAI MQSeries Server Transport is designed to provide a messaging solution to help you integrate data between Siebel eBusiness Applications and external applications that can interface with the IBM MQSeries. The EAI MQSeries Server Transport transports messages to and from IBM MQSeries queues. In order to run this server task successfully you need to first configure two named subsystem.

To configure named subsystem

  1. Start Siebel client.
  2. From the Application-level menu, choose View>Site Map>Server Administration Screen > Enterprise Configuration.
  3. Click the Enterprise Profile Configuration view tab.
  4. Create a new record in the Component Profiles list and provide the required information.
    • Name- Name of the Named Subsystem. For example, IAAMQConnSubsys.
    • Type- Type of the Named Subsystem, MQSeriesServerSubsys.

      NOTE:  The subsystem type that you select should have a checkmark in the Is Named Enabled field.

  5. Save the record.
  6. In the Enterprise Profile Configuration list, modify following parameters:
    • MqPhysicalQueueName -<Queue name to receive inbound request message from>
    • MqQueueManagerName- <Queue manager name who own the queues>
    • MqRespPhysicalQueueName- <Queue name to send response message to>
    • MqSleepTime- 100 <or longer if needed>
  7. Save the record.
  8. Create another Named Subsystem with following name and parameters.
    • Name- <Any name>. For example, IAAMQDataSubsys
    • Type- EAITransportDataHandlingSubsys

      NOTE:  The subsystem type that you select should have a checkmark in the Is Named Enabled field.

  9. Save the record.
  10. In the Enterprise Profile Configuration list, modify following parameters:
    • DispatchWorkflowProcess- IAA Server Party Package Workflow
  11. Save the record.

After creating and configuring your Named Subsystem you need to configure the MQSeries Receiver.

To configure MQSeries Receiver parameters

  1. Start Siebel client.
  2. From the Application-level menu, choose View>Site Map>Server Administration Screen > Server Component.
  3. Query for MQSeries Receiver and set the following:
    • Receiver Connection Subsystem- Name from Step 4. For example, IAAMQConnSubsys.
    • Receiver Data Handling Subsystem- Name from Step 8. For example, IAAMQDataSubsys.
    • Receiver Method Name- ReceiveDispatch or ReceiveDispatchSend.
    • Default Tasks- 1 or number of tasks desired.
  4. Restart the Siebel Server and make sure the MQSeries Receiver server component is running.

NOTE:  For details on creating and configuring server tasks, see Siebel Server Administration Guide and for details on configuring MQSeries, see Transports and Interfaces: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume III.
