Example of Changing Data Maps


This topic gives one example of changing data maps as part of customizing SSSE. You might use this feature differently, depending on your business requirements.

Continuing with the example from Example of Changing Integration Objects, you want to map the Siebel Spouse field of a Siebel business contact to the corresponding Spouse field of a Microsoft Outlook business contact so SSSE can synchronize it. To accomplish this, you must change the PIMSI Business Contact Inbound Map and the PIMSI Business Contact Outbound Map. For more information about Integration Objects, see About SSSE Integration Objects.

The following procedure describes how to change the data map for a new field.

To change the data map for a new field

  1. Use the SRF that contains the changes you made to Integration Objects in Example of Changing Integration Objects.
  2. In your Siebel application, navigate to the Administration - Integration screen, then the Data Map Editor view.
  3. In the Integration Object Map list, select the PIMSI Business Contact Inbound Map.
  4. In the Integration Component Map list, select BusinessContact_Contact.
  5. Scroll down to the Integration Field Map list, click New, and complete the fields as shown in the following table.
    Field
    Value

    Source Expression

    [Spouse]

    Target Field Name

    Spouse

    NOTE:  The value entered for the Source Expression field is an expression. In most cases, the expression is an integration component field name enclosed in square brackets. However, it can be a more complex expression, for example, an IIF(...) expression. See Configuring Siebel Business Applications for information on building expressions.

  6. Save the record.
  7. In the Integration Object Map list, select the PIMSI Business Contact Outbound Map.
  8. In the Integration Component Map list, select the Contact_BusinessContact record.
  9. Repeat Step 5 through Step 6.

    If you have implemented a DCOM Exchange connector only, data map configuration is now completed. If you have implemented a Web service Exchange Connector, you must also complete the following additional steps.

  10. In the Integration Object Map list, select the PIMSI EWS Create Contact Outbound Map.
  11. In the Integration Component Map list, select the Contact_BusinessContact record.
  12. Repeat Step 5 through Step 6.
  13. In the Integration Object Map list, select the PIMSI EWS Update Contact Outbound Map.
  14. In the Integration Component Map list, select the Contact_BusinessContact record.
  15. Repeat Step 5 through Step 6.

You must now change Siebel domain configurations, as described in Example of Changing Siebel Domain Configurations.
