FINS VCML XML Data Transformation Engine (DTE)

---

The FINS VCML XML DTE transforms property sets in a Siebel internal integration hierarchy to an external integration object hierarchy, and the opposite. This function allows the FINS VCML XML Connector to exchange data between two systems with different data models. The transformation map is defined from Siebel Administration views.

For inbound processing, the DTE accepts a property set from the FINS VCML XML Converter business service and transforms it into a property set to be used by the FINS VCML XML Transaction Manager business service. The incoming property set is made up of one or more external integration object instances. If there are multiple instances, the DTE parses them into individual instances and transforms them. The DTE then packages the returned transformed instances as an output property set as internal integration object instances.

For outbound processing, the DTE accepts a property set from the FINS VCML XML Transaction Manager business service and transforms it into a property set to be used by the converter. The outgoing property set is made up of one or more internal integration object instances. The DTE then packages the returned transformed instances as an output property set as external integration object instances.

FINS VCML XML DTE Methods and Arguments

The FINS VCML XML DTE methods and arguments are described in the following tables. Table 10 describes the DTE methods.

Table 10. FINS VCML XML DTE Methods

Method	Display Name	Function
ToExternal	Transform To External Hierarchy	Transforms a Siebel hierarchy into an external hierarchy.
ToInternal	Transform To Siebel Hierarchy	Transforms an external hierarchy into a Siebel hierarchy.

Table 11 describes the argument for the DTE methods.

Table 11. Method Argument for the FINS VCML XML DTE Methods

Argument	Value	Description
XMLHierarchy	XML Property Set	For ToExternal takes, as input, the output of the Execute outbound method of the FINS VCML XML Transaction Manager business service and sends an output hierarchy that contains the XML document in Siebel external integration object format. For ToInternal takes, as input, the output of the XMLPropertySetToPropertySet method of the converter and then sends an output hierarchy that contains the VCML document in Siebel internal integration object format.

Table 12 lists attributes of the argument for the FINS VCML XML DTE's methods.
