Creating Siebel EAI OTDs

Perform the following tasks to create a Siebel EAI OTD:

• Configuring Your System Before Creating the OTD

• Creating the OTD

Configuring Your System Before Creating the OTD

The NetBeans IDE needs to be configured to use the appropriate JAR files to correspond with the version of your Siebel Server. Before you use the NetBeans IDE to create your Siebel EAI Project, make sure that your local NetBeans IDE installation is using the proper JAR files for your Siebel Server.

Configuring NetBeans to Work with Siebel

Depending on which version of Siebel you are using, perform one of the following tasks to configure NetBeans:

• To Run NetBeans with Siebel 7.5.x

• To Run the NetBeans IDE with Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x

To Run NetBeans with Siebel 7.5.x

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Siebel Adapter directory for your NetBeans IDE.

   The Siebel Adapter directory is JavaCAPS_Home\.netbeans\caps\modules\ext\siebeleaieway.

2. If you have previously used Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x with this installation of the NetBeans IDE, remove the following files from this directory:

   • Siebel.jar

   • SiebelJI_enu.jar

3. Copy the following files from your Siebel 7.5.x system (SiebelTools/Classes) to JavaCAPS_Home\.netbeans\caps\modules\ext\siebeleaieway:

   • SiebelJI.jar

   • SiebelJI_Common.jar

   • SiebelJI_enu.jar

4. Restart the NetBeans IDE.

To Run the NetBeans IDE with Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Siebel Adapter directory for your NetBeans IDE.

   The Siebel Adapter directory is JavaCAPS_Home\.netbeans\caps\modules\ext\siebeleaieway.

2. If you have previously used Siebel 7.5.x with this installation of the NetBeans IDE, then remove the following files from the Siebel Adapter directory:

   • SiebelJI.jar

   • SiebelJI_Common.jar

   • SiebelJI_enu.jar

3. Copy the following files from your Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x system (SiebelTools/Classes) to the Siebel Adapter directory:

   • Siebel.jar

   • SiebelJI_enu.jar

4. Restart the NetBeans IDE.

Installing seebeyond.sif for Siebel 7.5.x

If you are using Siebel 7.5.x, before you create an OTD using the OTD Wizard, you must install the seebeyond.sif file into your Siebel Tools system.

To Install the seebeyond.sif File

1. In a web browser, navigate to http://java.net/projects/javacaps-samples/pages/Home.
2. In the Application Adapters list, click the Adapter for Siebel EAI Sample Workflows link.
3. Download the file and extract it to a local directory.
4. Use the Siebel Tools utility to import the seebeyond.sif file from the above location into your Siebel Server.
5. After importing the file, use the Siebel Tools utility to compile your SRF file.
6. Stop the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.
7. Replace the file on the Siebel Server with the one you created in step 2.
8. Restart the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.

Installing SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml for Siebel 7.7 and 7.8.x

If you are using Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x, before you can create an OTD using the OTD Wizard, you must install the SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml file.

To Install the SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml File

Before You Begin

Complete the steps under Installing seebeyond.sif for Siebel 7.5.x.

1. Open the Siebel Tools utility.
2. In the Object Explorer, click the Workflow Process.
3. Right-click the item in the Object list, and then click Import Workflow Process.
4. Browse to the directory that contains SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml.

   This file is included in the ZIP file you downloaded when you imported seebeyond.sif.

5. Click Open to begin importing the Workflow template.
6. Select your project.
7. Stop the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.
8. Use the Siebel Tools utility to compile your SRF file.
9. Copy the SRF file to the objects folder in your Siebel Server.
10. Restart the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.
