Configuring an XML Hierarchy Converter

The fourth component is a hierarchy converter. For information about Siebel hierarchy converters, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

To configure an XML hierarchy converter

1. Name the hierarchy converter appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

   The example uses:

   • Name = Outgoing Hierarchy Converter

   • Type = Business Service

2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

   For this component choose the XML Hierarchy Converter.

3. Choose the method.

   This example uses the XML Hierarchy to XML Document method because, for an outgoing message, the final conversion is from an XML hierarchy to an XML document that can be accepted by any XML-compliant converter at the external location.

4. Set the input and output arguments, XML Hierarchy name, and XML document name.

   Following are the input argument settings for the example hierarchy converter configuration.

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   Escape Name	Literal	false
   XML Header Text	Literal	<!DOCTYPE IFX SYSTEM “http://IFXWebSite/IFX101.dtd"> Replace IFXWebSite with a valid connection string that connects to the IFX101.dtd.
   XML Hierarchy	Process Property		PropSet Out Outgoing Converter

   Following are the output argument settings for the example hierarchy converter configuration.

   Property Name	Type	Value	Output Argument
   IFX Document Request	Output Argument		XML Document
