EAI Siebel Adapter Method Arguments


Each of the EAI Siebel Adapter methods takes arguments that allow you to specify required and optional information to the adapter. You can locate the arguments for each method in Table 22.

Table 23 presents each argument of the EAI Siebel Adapter methods.

Table 23. Defining EAI Siebel Adapter Method Arguments
Argument
Display Name
Description

IntObjectName

Integration Object Name

Name of the integration object to delete.

NumOutputObjects

Number of Output Integration Objects

Number of output integration objects.

OutputIntObjectName

Output Integration Object Name

The name of the integration object that is to be output.

PrimaryRowId

Object Id

The PrimaryRowId refers to the Id field in the Business Component, Row_Id at the table level.

PrimaryRowId is only returned as an output argument if you are passing in one integration object instance. If you are passing multiple integration object instances, then this argument is not returned as an output argument. To obtain the ID field when multiple integration objects are processed, use the StatusObject argument.

 

Query By Key

A Boolean argument. Forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use only the user keys to perform a query.

 

Delete By User Key

A Boolean argument. Forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use only the user keys to identify a record.

ErrorOnNonExistingDelete

Error On Non Existing Delete

A Boolean argument. Determines whether or not the EAI Siebel Adapter should abort the operation if no match is found.

SiebelMessage

Siebel Message

The input or the output integration object instance.

searchspec

Search Specification

This argument allows you to specify complex search specifications as free text in a single method argument. For information, see About Using Language-Independent Code with the EAI Siebel Adapter.

StatusObject

Status Object

This argument tells the EAI Siebel Adapter whether or not to return a status message.

MessageId

Message Id

The MessageId can be used to specify the ID for the generated message. By default, the EAI Siebel Adapter generates a unique ID for each message. However, if you want to use the workflow process instance ID, then you can use this argument to specify the ID.

BusObjCacheSize

Business Object Cache Size

Default is 5. Maximum number of Business Objects instances cached by the current instance of the EAI Siebel Adapter. If set to zero, then the EAI Siebel Adapter does not use the cache.

LastPage

Last Page

Boolean indicating whether or not the last record in the query result set has been returned.

NewQuery

New Query

Default is False. Boolean indicating whether a new query should be executed. If set to True, a new query is executed flushing the cache for that particular integration object.

PageSize

Page Size

Default is 10. Indicates the maximum number of integration object instances to be returned.

StartRowNum

Starting Row Number

Default is 0 (first page). Indicates the row in the result set for the QueryPage method to start retrieving a page of records.

ViewMode

View Mode

Default is All. Visibility mode to be applied to the Business Object. Valid values are: Manager, Sales Rep, Personal, Organization, Sub-Organization, Group, Catalog, and All. Note that the ViewMode user property on the integration object has priority over the ViewMode method argument.

SortSpec

Sort Specification

Default is the SortSpec of the underlying business component. This argument allows you to specify complex sort criteria as a free text in a single method argument, using any business component fields and standard Siebel sort syntax—for examples, see Using Siebel Tools.

About the SearchSpec Input Method Argument

The SearchSpec input method argument is applicable to the QueryPage, Query, Delete, and Execute methods. This method argument allows you to specify complex search specifications as free text in a single method argument. Expressions within a single integration component are restricted only by the Siebel Query Language supported by the Object Manager. Integration components and fields are referenced using the following notation:

[IntCompName.IntCompFieldName]

For example, given an integration object definition with two integration components, Account as the root component and Contact as the child component, the following search specification is allowed:

([Account.Site] LIKE "A*" OR [Account.Site] IS NULL) AND [Contact.PhoneNumber] IS NOT NULL

This search specification queries accounts that either have a site that starts with the character A, or do not have a site specified. In addition, for the queried accounts, it queries only those associated contacts that have a phone number.

NOTE:  The operator between fields for a particular integration component instance can be AND unless between the same field. You use DOT notation to refer to integration components and their fields.

You can include the child integration component in a search specification only if its parent components are also included.
