The Siebel Data Mapper

The Siebel Data Mapper maps one integration object, source, to another integration object, target. Integration objects contain one or more integration components, which in turn contain one or more integration fields. For details on integration objects, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II.

Figure 9 illustrates the Siebel Data Mapping Engine architecture.

A data map defines the relationship between source and target object format. The map controls the transformation process. Transformation maps are stored in the Siebel Database as explained in Table 11.
