Business Data Flows for Siebel Connector for IFX XML
Each standard integration or custom integration is based on business data flows. A business data flow controls the transformation of an IFX-based data object to a Siebel data object and a Siebel data object to an IFX-based data object. There are two types of business data flows:
- Outbound to an external IFX-based application (Send)
- Inbound from an external IFX-based application (Receive)
Figure 2 illustrates both inbound and outbound business data flows.

The processing for each type of data flow is contained within a Siebel workflow process. The workflow process is initiated by the Siebel Event Manager or by a Siebel eScript call.
