Creating an Integration Object Based on Another Root Business Component

The Integration Object Builder wizard, using the EAI Siebel Wizard, allows you to choose which business object to use. However, the Integration Object Builder wizard will generate the Primary Business Component as the root Integration Component. If it happens that the business object contains multiple root business components (note the difference between root and primary business component), and that the user requires the Integration Object to be created based on another root business component, then you perform the following procedure.

To create an integration object based on another root business component

1. In Siebel Tools, lock the project containing the business object you want to modify.
2. Modify the business object definition to have that particular root business component as the Primary Business Component.
3. Run the Integration Object Builder wizard and choose the business object you want to use.
4. Undo the changes to the business object definition that you made in Step 2.

   NOTE:  This is necessary because unless you are certain about what you are doing in terms of changing the Primary Business Component of the business object, it is recommended that you roll back the changes so that they do not affect any business logic.

5. Compile the locked project.
