Creating IAA External Integration Objects

The external integration object maps the internal integration object components and fields to IAA-XML aggregations and fields. The external integration object is used by both the FINS IAA-XML Data Transformation Engine and FINS IAA-XML Converter to construct the IAA-XML aggregations and format. To build the external integration object you use the Integration Object Builder.

To create IAA external integration objects

1. Create envelope integration object. For details, see To Create Integration Object.

   After you create you envelope integration object and click Next the following dialog box of FINS IAA Wizard Service appears.
2. Pick the appropriate Request and Respond Command from each picklist and give unique and meaningful names to your external request and respond integration objects.

   You may encounter an error similar to the following.

   This is a benign error, due to a recursive element references in your .DTD document, and can be ignored.

3. Click Next to move to the next dialog box to select the IAA aggregates for your external request integration object.

   NOTE:  Any component that has a plus sign (+) next to it is a parent in a parent-child relationship with one or more child components. If you deselect the parent component, the children below that component are deselected as well. You cannot include a child component without also including the parent. The Integration Object Builder enforces this rule by automatically selecting the parent of any child you choose to include. You should only select the business components required for your business processes to avoid unnecessary performance deterioration.

4. Click Next to move to next screen to select the IAA aggregates for your external response integration object.
5. Click Next to move to the next screen to build your internal integration object as described in To create IAA Internal Integration Objects.
