Associating Integration Objects with Channels

If necessary, associate pre-existing Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications Integration Objects with channels to enable the integration objects.

NOTE:  For more information about creating additional Integration Objects, see Customizing the Connector. You will need to know what kind of data each channel will replicate.

This section describes the procedure to associate pre-existing Siebel Connector Integration Objects with channels.

To associate an existing integration object with a channel

  1. Navigate to the Channels view.

    2. The Channels applet appears.

  2. In the Name field, click on the name of the channel for the association.

    3. The Channel screen appears:

    Click for full size image

  3. Create a new record on the lower applet.
  4. The Channel applet appears with an integration object form below it. Fill out the channel object list as appropriate.

    5. For the Query Specification field, the examples below include a generic spec and then a specific one for an Account.

    Generic Query Specification:

    [<Component_1>.<S-S Instance Field Name>] IS NOT NULL AND [<Component_2>.<S-S Instance Field Name>] IS NOT NULL AND ... AND [<Component_n>.<S-S Instance Field Name>] IS NOT NULL

    For example,

    [Account.S-S Instance] IS NOT NULL AND [Action.S-S Instance]
    IS NOT NULL AND [Account_Business Address.Business Addr S-S
    Instance] IS NOT NULL AND [Contact.S-S Instance] IS NOT NULL

    means "Find all global accounts. For each global account, find its global activities, global business addresses, and global contacts."

  5. For the field DTE Map, select the DTE Map that converts the source integration object to the target integration object.
  6. Then, for the Target Integration Object field, select the integration object to be published.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Repeat this procedure to associate other integration objects with channels.

NOTE:  Integration components cannot be shared across channel objects within the same channel. For example, having one integration object containing the contact integration component and a second integration object also containing the contact integration component under a given channel is not allowed.
