Preparing to Use the EAI HTTP Transport for Inbound Integration

To use the EAI HTTP Transport for inbound integration, you must perform certain tasks that might not be required when using the EAI HTTP Transport for outbound integration:

1. Install and configure the Siebel Application Interface (AI), Siebel Gateway, and Siebel Server.
2. Start the Siebel Application Interface (AI), Siebel Gateway, and Siebel Server.
3. Start the Siebel Application Interface (AI) to be able to use the EAI HTTP Transport.
4. Configure AI to run the EAI HTTP Transport for inbound integration. See Specifying HTTP Parameters for Inbound Integration.
5. Set certain configuration parameters for whatever Siebel Server you are using.

   The server component you are running must be a Siebel Application Object Manager component.

NOTE:  You can type http://Web_Server_Name/siebel/app/eai-/lang in a Web browser on any computer that has connectivity to the Application Interface to check the connectivity between the computer issuing the URL (for the EAI HTTP Transport) and AI. This URL brings up the login page of the Siebel application corresponding to ObjectManager_lang, confirming the connectivity between AI and the URL-issuing computers.
