Design-Time Process

The design-time process, which is an integral part of Project development, is primarily concerned with extracting metadata from the Siebel application. This metadata is then used to format the messages propagated by the adapter.

This process uses the Siebel EAI OTD Wizard, which prompts you for information to find and connect to the desired Siebel instance. The Wizard then connects to Siebel and extracts the business services that are exposed through the Siebel Web Engine. These services are presented to you for selection of the appropriate service and operation.

When the service and operation have been selected, an OTD representing the selections is generated and saved in the repository.
