Creating XML Files from Integration Objects

This topic describes how to create the XML files that Siebel CRM uses to run a report. You use the Sample Data File Generation view to choose the integration object that provides the Siebel CRM data that Siebel CRM displays in a report.

To create XML files from integration objects

  1. Log in to the Siebel client with administrator privileges.

  2. Navigate to the Administration - BIP Publisher Reports screen, and then the Sample Data File Generation view.

  3. In the Sample Data File Generation list, choose an integration object.

  4. Click Generate Sample XML.

    Siebel CRM creates an XML file and names it using the following format: integration_object_name.xml. For example:

    BIPLiteratureFulfillment.xml

  5. Save the file in the following folder:

    SIEBSRVR_ROOT\XMLP\DATA

    You can now create a report template that uses this XML data. For more information, see Creating Report Templates.
