The instructions for passing extra metadata values from a business application to Content Server have been expanded for an Oracle E-Business Suite Forms configuration.
Follow the instructions in "Passing Extra Metadata Values From a Business Application to Content Server" in Oracle WebCenter Administrator's Guide for Application Adapters.
In steps 3 and 4 for an Oracle E-Business Suite Forms configuration, access the AXF_COMMAND_PARAMETERS Table and the AXF_MA_PARAMETERS Table for Oracle E-Business Suite Forms, and add entries in the tables for extra parameters to be passed to Content Server. Use the AXF_MA_PARAMETERS table described below to define the information sent for additional parameters.

The Siebel identifier metadata fields (named xsiebel<entity>, as in xsiebelContact and xsiebelAcct) store Siebel entity values used for linking attachments to Siebel entities. Because they are not stored as regular metadata fields, they are not searchable and administrators configuring profiles should not treat them as regular metadata fields. (By default, these identifier fields are not visible to users in WebCenter Content. While users can enter search values into the fields if displayed, matching documents will not be found by the Content Server search engine.)
Note that users can attach documents to entities by entering entity row IDs into the Siebel identifier fields as a comma-separated list. In this case, Managed Attachments stores the values in a separate database table.
The Siebel adapter Siebel SIF files can be found at the following location after an 11.1.1.6 install:
