Configuring the Siebel Connector for IFX XML Response

The response portion of the cycle is the partner to the outgoing portion in an outbound cycle.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Workflow to Handle an IFX XML Request.

Configuring an XML Hierarchy Converter

The first connector component in the response sequence is a hierarchy converter. For information about Siebel hierarchy converters, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

To configure an XML hierarchy converter

1. Name the hierarchy converter appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).
   • Name = Incoming Hierarchy Converter
   • Type = Business Service
2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

   For this component, choose the XML Hierarchy Converter.

3. Choose the method.

   This example uses the XML Document to XML Hierarchy method because, for an incoming message, the conversion is from an XML document to an XML hierarchy that can be used by the FINS IFX XML Dispatcher.

4. Set the input and output arguments, XML Hierarchy name, and XML document name.

   Following are the input argument settings for the example hierarchy converter incoming configuration.

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   XML Document	Process Property		IFX Document Response

   Following are the output argument settings for the example hierarchy converter incoming configuration.

   Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
   PropSet Out Incoming Hierarchy Converter	Output Argument		XML Hierarchy

Configuring the FINS IFX XML Dispatcher

The second connector component in the response sequence is the dispatcher.

To configure the dispatcher

1. Name the dispatcher appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

   The example uses:

   • Name = Incoming Dispatcher
   • Type = Business Service
2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

   For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial Dispatcher.

3. Choose the method.

   The example uses the Dispatch Message method.

4. Set the input and output arguments.

   Following are the input argument settings for the example dispatcher incoming configuration.

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   DispatcherMapName	Literal	FINS IFX Tutorial DispMap
   XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	FINS IFX Tutorial Envelope
   XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming Hierarchy Converter

   Following are the output argument settings for the example dispatcher incoming configuration.

   Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
   PropSet Out Incoming Dispatcher	Output Argument		XML Property Set

Configuring the FINS IFX XML Converter

The third response component is the converter.

To configure the converter

1. Name the converter appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

   The example uses:

   • Name = Incoming Converter
   • Type = Business Service
2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

   For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial Converter.

3. Choose the method.

   The example uses the XMLPropSetToPropSet method, because the converter is converting an XML property set from the dispatcher into a Siebel-hierarchy-based property set.

4. Set the input and output arguments.

   Following are the input argument settings for the example converter incoming configuration.

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   Enable Data Formatting	Literal	True
   IFX Application Business Service Name	Literal	FINS IFX XML Extension
   XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	FINS IFX Tutorial Envelope
   XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming Dispatcher

   Following are the output argument settings for the example converter incoming configuration.

   Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
   PropSet Out Incoming Converter	Output Argument		XML Property Set

Configuring the FINS IFX XML Data Transformation Engine

The fourth response component is the data transformation engine (DTE).

To configure the DTE

1. Name the DTE appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

   The example uses:

   • Name = Incoming DTE
   • Type = Business Service
2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

   For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial DTE.

3. Choose the method.

   The example uses the Transform to Siebel Hierarchy method because the data is moving from an external system to a Siebel internal system.

4. Set the input and output arguments.

   Following are the input argument settings for the example DTE response configuration.

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming Converter

   Following are the input argument settings for the example DTE response configuration.

   Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
   PropSet Out Incoming DTE	Output Argument		XML Property Set

Configuring the FINS IFX Transaction Manager

The fifth response component is the transaction manager.

To configure the transaction manager

1. Name the transaction manager appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

   The example uses:

   • Name = Incoming Transaction Manager
   • Type = Business Service
2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

   For this component, choose the FINS IFX Tutorial Transaction Manager.

3. Choose the method.

   The example uses the Execute Transaction method because the data is being received from the external data source and must be delivered to the Siebel application.

4. Establish the input and output arguments.

   Following are the input argument settings for the example transaction manager configuration.

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   XML Property Set	Process Property		PropSet Out Incoming DTE

   Following are the input argument settings for the example transaction manager configuration.

   Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
   PropSet Out Incoming TransMgr	Output Argument		XML Property Set

This step completes the outbound connector sequence.
