Using the Validate Method

The following examples demonstrate the use of the Validate method of the Transcode Service business service:

• XML Hierarchy Example
• Siebel Message Example

XML Hierarchy Example

In this workflow example, a file encoded in codepage 932 (Japanese) is read into an XML hierarchy, then validated for conversion into codepage 1252 (Western European).

To create the validation workflow

1. Create a workflow as follows:

   NOTE:  For details on the Business Process Designer, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

2. Define the following process properties:

   Name	Data Type	In/Out
   Error Code	String	In/Out
   Error Message	String	In/Out
   Siebel Operation Object Id	String	In/Out
   XMLHier	Hierarchy	In/Out

3. Set up the first business service step to use the EAI XML Read from File business service with the ReadXMLHier method and the following input and output arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value
   FileName	Literal	c:\JPN_JIS.xml

   Property Name	Type	Output Argument
   XMLHier	Output Argument	XMLHierarchy

4. Set up the second business service step to use the Transcode Service business service with the Validate method and the following input arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   SourceEncoding	Literal	CP932	Not applicable
   TargetEncoding	Literal	CP1252	Not applicable
   ValidationMode	Literal	Not applicable	Not applicable
   XMLHierarchy	Process Property	Not applicable	XMLHier

Siebel Message Example

In this workflow example, an account record is read from an integration object by the EAI Siebel Adapter as a Siebel Message, then validated for conversion from UTF-8 (Unicode) to codepage 1252 (Western European).

To create the validation workflow

1. Create a workflow as follows:

   NOTE:  For details on the Business Process Designer, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

2. Define the following process properties:

   Name	Data Type	In/Out
   Error Code	String	In/Out
   Error Message	String	In/Out
   Object Id	String	In/Out
   Process Instance Id	String	In/Out
   Siebel Operation Object Id	String	In/Out
   SiebelMsg	Hierarchy	In/Out

3. Set up the first business service step to use the EAI Siebel Adapter business service with the Query method and the following input and output arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   OutputIntObjectName	Literal	Sample Account	Not applicable
   PrimaryRowId	Process Property	Row ID of the account record	Object Id

   Property Name	Type	Output Argument
   SiebelMsg	Output Argument	SiebelMessage

4. Set up the second business service step to use the Transcode Service business service with the Validate method and the following input arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   SourceEncoding	Literal	UTF-8	Not applicable
   TargetEncoding	Literal	CP1252	Not applicable
   ValidationMode	Literal	Not applicable	Not applicable
   SiebelMessage	Process Property	Not applicable	SiebelMsg
