For this task, identify the Siebel business object that you would want to update. For that business object, identify the components and fields that you expect to update. Next, identify the object in the external system with which you want to integrate. Then, determine the mapping between the Siebel business object and the external object.

In Siebel Tools, create a new internal integration object using the Integration Object Wizard. Select only the components and fields that you want to update. Then, in Siebel Tools, create a new external integration object. Then, either in Siebel Tools or in the Siebel client, define the data mapping and data transformation using business services.

In the Siebel client, define an integration workflow process and add any exception handling to the integration workflow process. Test the integration workflow process using the process simulator. Finally, add a mechanism for invoking the integration workflow process from Siebel applications.
