Creating New Integration Objects to Add Fields to Reports

Siebel CRM populates a QueryString field in the sample XML and parses it as a field value in the integration object while the report runs, by default. This field contains the user-defined query that the user entered to run the report. You can display this field value on the report template. For example, the format of the field might be [Account Status] = “Active”].

To create a new integration object to add fields to reports

  1. Make sure no predefined integration objects exist that meet your report layout requirements.

    Siebel CRM comes with predefined integration objects. It is recommended that you create a new integration object only if the predefined integration objects do not meet your requirements. For more information, see Modifying Predefined Integration Objects to Add Fields to Reports.

  2. Log in to Siebel Tools.

  3. In the Object Explorer, click Integration Object.

  4. Right-click in the Integration Objects list, click New Objects Wizard, and then click Integration Object.

  5. Use the Integration Object Builder wizard to create the new integration object.

    Note the following:

    • Make sure you prefix the name of this new integration object with BIP. You must add the BIP prefix so that Siebel CRM displays this integration object in the Sample Data File Generation view in the client. For information about this view, see Creating XML Files from Integration Objects.

    • Make sure you include in the integration component any fields that the user can query in the applet that references the master business component. For more information, see About Master-Detail Reports.

  6. Reduce the Size of the integration object that you created in Step 5.

    For more information, see Reducing the Amount of Data That Integration Objects Transfer.

  7. Deliver your changes.

  8. Use the Siebel Migration Application Incremental Runtime Repository Data Service to migrate integration object changes to your target environment.
