Using MIME Messages to Exchange Attachments

To send or receive file attachments using MIME messages, Siebel EAI uses the MIME Hierarchy Converter and MIME Doc Converter.

The following checklist shows the high-level procedures you must perform to use MIME to exchange attachments between Siebel Business Applications and another external system:

• Create an integration object using the EAI Siebel Wizard.

  For information, see Creating an Attachment Integration Object.

• Create an inbound or outbound Workflow process.

  For information, see Creating Workflow Process Examples.

• Test your workflow process using Workflow Process Simulator.
