Creating External Integration Objects

---

An external integration object establishes the hierarchy for an IFX XML message. Each Teller message needs one and only one integration object that defines the message portion of the IFX XML document. The integration object preserves the cardinality, data type information, and hierarchy.

Every time you run the wizard, the wizard creates a pair of external integration objects, one for the request portion of the cycle and one for the response portion of the cycle.

To create external integration objects

Lock the project and select the FINS Teller IFX DTD file, usually named teller.dtd.
Create a default envelope integration object.

You will reuse the existing FINS IFX Envelope v101 envelope integration object, so you can skip the envelope creation step of the wizard.

Choose a Request Service and Response Service pair and click Next.

For external integration object creation, you need to specify a request service and a response service, for example <tllr.TlrSvcRq> and <tllr.TlrSvcRs>.

These are the service aggregate elements.

Choose the Request Message you want to use.

The request message is automatically paired with an appropriate response message. For this example, choose <tllr.BrnOpenRq> and it will automatically be paired with <tllr.BrnOpenRs>.

Note the integration object names.

You will need to know the names when you configure the DTE map.

You can change the Integration Object Name for the request and response integration objects for administrative convenience. Consider establishing a set of naming conventions to make groups of objects easy to recognize. This example uses the default names.

Click Next to display the Message Elements screen, in which you will select the request message elements to include.

This screen displays a hierarchy of the message structure. It provides all the available aggregates and elements for the message. By default, all elements are selected.

Select the Teller message components you want to activate for this integration object.

Notice that if you deselect the parent, all the child items are deselected. Reselecting the parent does not reselect the child items, so that you can select a subset of child items. For improved performance, select only the fields that you might use in a message.

NOTE:  The smaller the integration object is, the faster the connector will run. If you exclude too many components and you need to redo the external integration object, you will need to check your DTE maps to make sure they are still valid.

Click Next to display the second Message Elements screen and choose the Teller message components you want to activate for the response integration object.
Click Next to display the Select Internal Integration Object screen.

For information on creating a new internal integration object, see the next section.
