Business Data Flows
Each standard integration or custom integration is based on business data flows. A business data flow controls the transformation of an ACORD-based data object to a Siebel data object and a Siebel data object to an ACORD-based data object.
There are two types of business data flows:
- Outbound to an external ACORD-based application (Send)
- Inbound from an external ACORD-based application (Receive)
Figure 2 illustrates both inbound and outbound business data flows.
The business data flows consist of XML messages in the format published by ACORD, such as<HomePolicyAddRq>, <HomePolicyQuoteInqRq>, <PersAutoPolicyAddRq>, <PerAutoPolicyQuoteInqRq>, <PersUmbrellaPolicyAddRq>, <PersUmbrellaPolicyQuoteInqRs>. A significant portion of the ACORD messages are provided as examples for your reference in the sample database.
The processing for each type of data flow is contained within a Siebel workflow. The workflow process is initiated by Siebel Event Manager or by a Siebel
eScript call.
