Business Service ConfigurationBase the business services specified in the Service Name parameter of the VBC on the CSSFAExternalService class, and have a method named query defined. You do not need to specify any input arguments to this method or configure any user properties. In this way, you can reuse this business service. Integration Object ConfigurationUse the integration object specified as the Outgoing Integration Object Name user property of the VBC to communicate record data between the business service and the workflow process. This integration object is non standard because it does not need to have an integration component for all the parent business components in the business object hierarchy. For example, if your business object hierarchy consists of Contact and the VBC as a child of Contact, you do not need to include a Contact integration component as the parent integration component in your integration object. The reason for this is that this integration object is never used by the EAI Siebel Adapter. Therefore, you do not need to include the complete business component hierarchy in the integration object. The integration object uses the PREDEFAULT user property (Table 35) on integration component fields to identify those fields that must be prefilled with data from the active business components: After the workflow process completes, values in the integration component fields that have matching names in the VBC are copied back to the VBC. If the integration object has fields that do not match the VBC, then those fields are ignored and no error is produced. Workflow ConfigurationThe workflow process specified as the ProcessName user property of the VBC is used to identify which workflow process the business service must invoke after instantiating the named integration object. Table 36 lists the two process properties that must be configured for this process to communicate with the business service. The SiebelMessage process property contains the query parameter for the external system. The workflow process transforms this data to a format understood by the external system, then uses a transport to send the request and receive the response from the business service. Finally, it must transform the response data back to a format that matches the VBC fields. This transformed response data must be stored in the VBC Output process property so that the calling business service can map it back to the VBC. |
