Siebel Briefings Administration Guide > Integrating External Content > Content Agents and Requests to External Content SourcesContent agents specify the authentication, URL, and syntax parameters required to submit requests to an external content source. These parameters are defined using the three Administration - Integration screen views:
How Business Components Map to Content AgentsBusiness components refer to content agents when making requests to external content sources, using the calculated value of the business component's field. Figure 5 shows the fields and calculated values for the SI Account External business component. This business component is preconfigured to request data from Siebel Content Services. The CompanyNews field contains the calculated value AccountNews. As Figure 6 shows, the AccountNews is the same as the Symbolic URL name defined in the Administration - Integration screen > Symbolic URL Administration view. The calculated value of the business component's field matches the name of the symbolic URL. The Symbolic URL Administration view stores the information that the Web Integration Business service uses to build an HTTP request to an external content host. |
