Creating an Integration Object

This task is a step in Process of Creating Dynamic Picklists That Use Custom Objects.

The Fulfillment Center is not available as an object in predefined Siebel CRM Desktop. To make it available, you create an integration object.

To create an integration object

1. In Siebel Tools, choose the File menu and then click New Object.
2. In the New Object Wizards dialog box, click the EAI tab, click Integration Object, and then click OK.
3. In the Integration Object Builder dialog box, set values using information from the following table and then click Next.

   Property	Value
   Project	Choose the project you use for this development effort.
   Business Service	EAI Siebel Wizard

4. In the next screen of the Integration Object Builder dialog box, set values using information from the following table and then click Next.

   Property	Value
   Source Object	Fulfillment Center
   Source Root	Fulfillment Center
   Integration Object Name	CRMDesktopFulfillmentCenterIO

5. In the Integration Object Builder - Choose Integration Components dialog box, do the following:
   1. Expand the Fulfillment Center tree.
   2. Remove the check mark from the Fulfillment Center_Position check box.
   3. Click Next and then click Finish.

      Siebel Tools creates and then displays the new integration object.

6. (Optional) Make the XML Tag property consistent with the other integration objects that Siebel CRM Desktop uses. You change properties using values from the following table.

   Property	Value
   XML Tag	ListOfCRMDesktopFulfillmentCenterIO

7. Make fields that Siebel CRM Desktop does not require inactive:
   1. In the Object Explorer, expand the Integration Object tree, expand the Integration Component Tree, and then click Integration Component Field.
   2. In the Integration Component Fields list, set the Inactive property to True for each of the following fields:
      • Description
      • Main Fax Number
      • Main Phone Number
      • Primary Position Id
      • UIActive
      • UISelected
      • operation
      • searchspec

        The Integration Object Builder wizard creates an integration component that includes all fields that the business component includes, by default. You can remove the fields that Siebel CRM Desktop does not require to make web service calls more efficient.

8. In the Integration Component Fields list, add a new field using values from the following table.

   Property	Value
   Name	DS Updated
   Data Type	DTYPE_DATETIME
   Length	30
   External Sequence	10
   External Name	DS Updated
   External Data Type	DTYPE_DATETIME
   XML Sequence	10
   XML Tag	DBLastUpd

   Each integration component that Siebel CRM Desktop uses must include the DS Updated field.

9. In the Object Explorer, click Integration Component Key.

   Although the Integration Object Builder wizard creates a key for the integration component that it creates, Siebel CRM Desktop requires more keys to support the synchronization process.

10. Create the modification key:
    1. In the Integration Component Keys list, add a new key using values from the following table.

       Property	Value
       Name	Modification Key
       Key Sequence Number	1
       Key Type	Modification Key

    2. In the Object Explorer, expand the Integration Component Key and then choose Integration Component Key Field.
    3. In the Integration Component Key Fields list, create two new fields using values from the following table.

       Name	Field Name
       DBLastUpd	DS Updated
       Mod Id	Mod Id

11. Create the primary key:
    1. In the Integration Component Keys list, add a new key using values from the following table.

       Property	Value
       Name	Primary Key
       Key Sequence Number	1
       Key Type	User Key

    2. In the Integration Component Key Fields list, add a new field using values from the following table.

       Name	Field Name
       Id	Id

12. Create the status key:
    1. In the Integration Component Keys list, add a new key using values from the following table.

       Property	Value
       Name	Status Key
       Key Sequence Number	1
       Key Type	Status Key

    2. In the Integration Component Key Fields list, add four new fields using values from the following table.

       Name	Field Name
       DBLastUpd	DS Updated
       Id	Id
       Mod Id	Mod Id
       Name	Name

13. Deploy your changes to the Siebel Runtime Repository.
