Configuring Runtime Events
Siebel supports triggering workflows based on runtime events. Using a runtime event allows you to incorporate configured workflow functions into actual applications. For complete information about runtime events, see Siebel eEvents Management Guide.
The example in this section describes a runtime event that sends data from the current record when it is created or modified. In the following procedure, a runtime event is defined and linked to an action that starts the example outbound workflow. It sends the active record as an IFX XML message in the example connector.
To create a runtime event
- Start Siebel Financial Services.
- From the Application-level menu, choose View>Site Map>Runtime Event Administration>Action Sets.
- Create a new Action Sets record, and enter the following value:
- Name = FINS IFX Tutorial Payment Request Add Action
- In the More Info applet, enter the following values:
- Action Type = BusService
- Business Service Name = Workflow Process Manager
- Business Service Method = RunProcess
- Business Service Context = "ProcessName", "FINS IFX Tutorial Outbound Connector"
This is the name of the configured workflow that handles outbound messages.
- Add an Events record, and enter the following values:
- Sequence= 1
- Object Type = BusComp
- Object Name = FIN Service Request Payment Request
- Event = WriteRecordNew
- Action Set Name = FINS IFX Tutorial Payment Request Add Action
- Choose Reload Personalization from the drop-down list so the changes will take effect.
Triggering the Request Message
This procedure creates an event that will trigger the message that has been configured in this chapter.
To trigger the request message
- After all the previous tutorial procedures have been completed, start Siebel Financial Services.
- Display the Service Requests screen.
View>Site Map>Service Requests
- In the Account Services applet, use the Show drop-down list to select Add Payment Schedule.
- Add a record in the Account Services applet.
- Click the Save button.
The new record is committed to the database.
If the transaction fails, indicated by the <StatusCode> element containing a non-zero value, FINS IFX Tutorial Converter sets the error flag. This flag causes the workflow to trigger an exception, which pops up an error message.
