Set Child Type Method

This method is a complementary function to Get Child Type. It sets the hierarchy type if you need to change something to the type Siebel Message.

The following inputs are for Set Child Type:

• Siebel Message - Hierarchy. The string name of the actual child type that is being passed from the external Web service's hierarchy response. (The input argument's type is Process Property, and the property name picks the hierarchy property.)
• Child Type - String. (Optional) This lists the current child types, their values, and the values to which you want to change them. For instance, if a user wanted to change a child of type Account to a child of type Partner, the user would need to specify the following:
  • Argument Name: Child Type: Account
  • Argument Value: Partner
• Hierarchy Path - String. (Optional). This tells the method where to do its work. For more information about the structure of this string, see Conventions for Hierarchy Paths.

Set Child Type has only one output:

• Siebel Message - Hierarchy. This is the existing object with the child type changed.
