Setting User Properties for the Virtual Business Component
When defining the virtual business component, you must provide the user properties shown in Table 16.
Table 16. Setting Virtual Business Component User Properties
|
|
Service Name |
The name of the business service. |
Service Parameters |
(Optional) Any parameters required by the business service. The Siebel application passes this user property, as an input argument, to the business service. |
Remote Source |
(Optional) External data source that the business service is to use. This property allows the VBC to pass a root property argument to the underlying business service, but it does not allow a connection directly to the external datasource. The Siebel application only passes this user property as an input argument. |
VBC Compatibility Mode |
(Optional) Determining the format of the property set passed from a VBC to a business service, or the format in which the outgoing XML from the XML Gateway will be. A valid value is Siebel xxx, where xxx can be any Siebel release number. Some examples would be Siebel 6 or Siebel 7.0.4. If xxx is less than 7.5, the format will be in pre-7.5. Otherwise, a new property set and XML format will be passed. If you are creating a VBC in 7.5, there is no need to define this new user property since the default would be to use the new PropertySet from VBC and the new outgoing XML from the XML Gateway. For your existing VBC implementation you need to update your VBC definition by adding this new user property and setting it to Siebel xxx, where xxx is your desired version number. |
To define user properties
- Start Siebel Tools.
- Lock the appropriate project.
- Click the Business Component folder in the Object Explorer to expand the hierarchical tree.
- Select the business component you want to define user properties for.
- Click the Business Component User Prop folder in the Object Explorer.
- Choose Edit New Record to create a new blank user property record.
- Type the name of the user property, such as Service Name, in the Name field.
- Type the value of the user property, such as a business service name, in the Value field.
- Repeat the process for every user property you want to define for this virtual business component.
NOTE: For list of different property sets and their format, see Examples of Outgoing XML Format and Examples of Incoming XML Format.
