Inbound Workflow Process
To execute the map for an inbound process you need to create a workflow process to read the data from a file, purge the data map, execute the data map, and then write the XML into a file. To create an inbound workflow process
- In Siebel Tools, create a workflow process consisting of Start, End and four business service steps. Set up each business service according to the task it needs to accomplish.
NOTE: The EAI Data Mapping Engine Purge step should only be used in a development environment.
- Define the following process properties:
|
|
Contact Message |
Hierarchy |
DTE Message |
Hierarchy |
Process Instance Id |
String |
Error Code |
String |
Error Message |
String |
Object Id |
String |
Siebel Operation Object Id |
String |
- The Read DTE from File step uses the EAI XML Read from File business service with the Read Siebel Message method, to read the information from a file. The business service uses the following input and output arguments.
|
|
|
File Name |
Literal |
c:\emp.xml |
|
|
|
DTE Message |
Output Argument |
Siebel Message |
- The second business service step purges the map using the EAI Data Transformation Engine business service (display name is EAI Data Mapping Engine) with the Purge method. This step is only for development mode so that the latest map is picked for the process and should not be used in a production environment. This step does not require any input or output arguments.
- The third business service step uses the EAI Data Transformation Engine business service with the Execute method, to execute the data map. The business service uses the following input and output arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
Map Name |
Literal |
Inbound DDTE Map |
- |
- |
Output Integration Object Name |
Literal |
A Contact |
- |
- |
Siebel Message |
Process Property |
- |
DTE Message |
Hierarchy |
|
|
|
Contact Message |
Output Argument |
Siebel Message |
- The Upsert Contact step uses the EAI Siebel Adapter business service with Insert or Update method to write the data into the database. This business service uses the following input argument.
|
|
|
|
Siebel Message |
Process Property |
Contact Message |
Hierarchy |
This step does not have any output arguments.
NOTE: For more information on using the EAI Siebel Adapter, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.
- Use the Workflow Process Simulator to test your workflow process.
