Process of Configuring the Workflow to Handle an IFX XML Request

The example in this section shows how to create a workflow to handle an outbound IFX XML request and response message pair.

Here are the distinctions to keep in mind:

• Outbound. The message starts in a Siebel client. Siebel application sends a request to the external data source and receives a response from the external data source.

• Inbound. The message starts in an external data source. Siebel receives a request from the external data source and sends a response to the external data source.

Whether outbound or inbound, the cycle consists of a request and response message pair.

To configure this workflow, perform the following tasks:

• Creating a Workflow for the IFX XML Request Message

• Configuring a Transport Mechanism

• Configuring the Siebel Connector for IFX XML Response

• Activating the Workflow to Handle the IFX XML Request

This process is a step in Roadmap for Configuring FINS IFX XML
