Overview: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration > Overview of Siebel EAI > About Siebel EAI Components > Siebel EAI Adapters and ConnectorsSiebel EAI provides adapters and connectors to help create an integration between a Siebel application and an external application. Other connectors are also available through partners for Siebel Business Applications. For each supported business process, the connectors include data mapping between the exchanged entities, and sequencing and error handling. Siebel EAI AdapterAn adapter is a Siebel EAI component that provides a low level interface to allow one application to talk to another application. The three types of adapters available in Siebel EAI include:
For more information on the EAI Siebel Adapter and the EAI UI Data Adapter business services, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration. For more information on transport adapters, see Transports and Interfaces: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration. NOTE: The Siebel Bookshelf is available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and Oracle E-Delivery. It might also be installed locally on your intranet or on a network location. Siebel EAI ConnectorA Siebel EAI connector provides low level connectivity to another back office application, such as SAP or Oracle. It also includes the business processes that are used to connect to the external application. For example, the Siebel Connector for SAP R/3 provides connectivity using BAPI and IDOC transport adapters, and predefined business processes. Using the connectors, you can exchange customer, order, and product information between a Siebel application and another Oracle application or SAP. For more information, see Siebel Connector for SAP R/3. Third-Party ConnectorYour organization might be required to integrate multiple applications with one another, such as Siebel applications, SAP, Oracle, I2, and so forth. You might require an EAI solution from an EAI vendor. These vendors work closely with Oracle to develop adapters for a Siebel application that use Siebel EAI. Oracle uses a program that makes sure that these adapters work according to Oracle standards. |
