Sample Outbound Workflow
A sample workflow is provided to update a customer in SAP from the Siebel application. This workflow can be used in place of the Standard Integration Workflow "SAP 4x Account - Update SAP Customer (4x IDOC)". The sample workflow is called "Send4xIdoc_UpdateSAPCustomer_MQAMI". This workflow passes a customer IDOC from the Siebel application to SAP through MQ Series instead of using the IDOC and tRFC BAPI adapters.
The sequence of the flow is:
Siebel Adapter > Data Map > EAI SAP IDOC MQ AMI Adapter > EAI MQSeries AMI Transport.
To use the sample workflow in place of the standard integration workflow
- Modify the standard Account Integration workflow "SAP 4x Account - Create or Update SAP Customer."
- Navigate to Business Process Administration > Workflow Process.
- Locate the "SAP 4x Account - Create or Update SAP Customer" workflow, then click Revise.
A new version of the workflow appears with status "In Progress".
- Click the Process Designer tab.
- Double-click the Update SAP Customer sub-process palette.
- In the Sub Process field, replace "SAP 4x Account - Update SAP Customer (4x IDOC)" with "Send4xIdoc_UpdateSAPCustomer_MQAMI".
- Save the changes.
- Click Return to Designer.
- Return to Workflow Processes and activate the workflow.
- Modify the sample workflow Send4xIdoc_UpdateSAPCustomer_MQAMI.
- From Business Process Administration > Workflow Process locate the sample workflow Send4xIdoc_UpdateSAPCustomer_MQAMI and click Revise.
A new version of the workflow appears with status "In Progress".
- Click the Process Designer tab.
- Double-click the business service step 4. MQ AMI Transport.
- In the Input Arguments tab, change the value of the argument Connection Subsystem from SAPSubsys to a name of your own choice, for example MQSenderSubsys.
- Save the changes.
- Click Return to Designer.
- Return to workflow processes and activate the workflow.
- Create the connection subsystem that you have named in the Connection Subsystem argument.
- Log in to server manager line mode (you may also use server administration).
- Enter this command:
create named subsystem <your subsystem name> for subsystem
MQSeriesAMISubsys with MqPolicyName=<your MQ AMI Policy name>,
MqSenderServiceName=<your MQ AMI Sender Service name>
- Use the list named subsystem command to make sure the subsystem is created.
- Stop the Siebel server service and restart it.
Now when you send an account to SAP from the Siebel application, the sample workflow is invoked.
