Sample Workflow IAA Server Party Package Workflow

This is a sample workflow process that handles an inbound IAA Party Packages from external application. The following image shows the graphical representation of the IAA Server Party Package Workflow.

The steps in this workflow are as follows:

1. Convert XML Hierarchy (Dummy ConvReq ErrHdl)

   • Dispatch Message. (Dispatch Err Handler)

   • Convert Message (Conv Inside ErrHdl)

   • DTE Request In (DTE Inside ErrHdl)

   • Transaction Manager (TraMgrErrHdl)

2. DTE Request Out (DTE RespErrHdl)

   • Converter Response (ConvResp ErrHdl)

   • Converter Hierarchy Dummy ConvRespErrHdl

3. ErrorHandler

4. ErrorCnv

Process properties

The IAA Add Party Outbound Workflow process has the following properties.

Name	Data Type	Default String
<Value>	String	None/NA.
Cnv Req Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
Conv Resp Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
Core Req Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
DTE Req Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
DTE Resp Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
DTE Store Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
Disp Req Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
Err Hierarchy Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
Error Code	String	None/NA.
Error Message	String	None/NA.
Inbound Request	String	<Value>
Inbound Result	String	None/NA.
Input File Name	String	C:\DeleteOutbound.xml
Object Id	String	None/NA.
OnlyIOI	String	true
Output File Name	String	C:\DeleteInbound.xml
Process Instance Id	String	None/NA.
Siebel Operation Object Id	String	None/NA.
Tran Req Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.
Trans Code	String	None/NA.
Trans Error Message	String	None/NA.
Trans Resp Prop	Hierarchy	None/NA.

Note: You set workflow process properties when you need a property that will be global to the entire workflow. Also note that name <Value> for the first process property and the default string for the Inbound Request process property has to be typed in the exact form shown here in order to use MQSeries Receiver server component. Siebel Workflow is case-sensitive, and <Value> is a different property than <value>.

The first step, after Start, uses the XML Hierarchy Converter with the XML Document to XML Hierarchy to convert the XML message received to an XML hierarchy, using the following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (to convert XML message)

Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name	Property Data Type
XML Document	Process Property		Inbound Request	String
Escape Name	Literal	false

Output Arguments (to convert XML message)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
Core Req Prop	Output Argument	XML Hierarchy

The second business service dispatches the message using the FINS IAA-XML Dispatcher business service with the Dispatch Message method and following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (Second Business Service)

Input Arguments	Type	Value	Property Name	Property Data Type
DispatcherMapName	Literal	IAADispMap
XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	IAA Envelope
XML Property Set	Process Property		Core Req Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (Second Business Service)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
Disp Req Prop	Output Argument	XML Property Set

The third business service invokes the FINS IAA-XML Converter with the XMLPropSetToPropSet method to convert the IAA-XML Hierarchy to property sets using the following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (Third Business Service)

Input Arguments	Type	Value	Property Name	Property Data Type
XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	IAA Envelope
XML Hierarchy	Process Property		Disp Req Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (Third Business Service)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
Cnv Req Prop	Output Argument	XML Hierarchy

Next step, the forth business service of the workflow invokes the FINS IAA-XML Data Transformation Engine with the Transform To Siebel Hierarchy method to transform the message to Siebel hierarchy using the following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (Fourth Business Service)

Input Arguments	Type	Property Name	Property Data Type
XML Property Set	Process Property	Cnv Req Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (Fourth Business Service)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
DTE Req Prop	Output Argument	XML Property Set

The fifth business service of the workflow invokes the FINS IAA-XML Transaction Manager with the Execute Transaction method and following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (Fifth Business Service)

Input Arguments	Type	Value	Property Name	Property Data Type
Only produce Integration Object Instance	Process Property		OnlyIOI	String
StatusObject	Literal	true
XML Property Set	Process Property		DTE Req Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (Fifth Business Service)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
Trans Code	Output Argument	ErrMsgId
Trans Error Message	Output Argument	ErrText
Trans Resp Prop	Output Argument	XML Property Set

Then the workflow invokes the FINS IAA-XML Data Transformation Engine with the Transform To External Hierarchy method to transform the message to external hierarchy using the following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (to transform the message)

Input Arguments	Type	Property Name	Property Data Type
IAA DTE Property Set	Process Property	DTE Store Prop	Hierarchy
XML Property Set	Process Property	Trans Resp Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (to transform the message)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
DTE Resp Prop	Output Argument	XML Property Set

Once the message is in the external hierarchy, the workflow invokes the FINS IAA-XML Converter with the PropSetToXMLPropSet method to convert the message to XML hierarchy using the following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (to convert the message)

Input Arguments	Type	Value	Property Name	Property Data Type
XMLEnvIntObjectName	Literal	IAA Envelope
XML Hierarchy	Process Property		DTE Resp Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (to convert the message)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
Conv Resp Prop	Output Argument	XML Hierarchy

As a last step, the workflow invokes the XML Hierarchy Converter with the XML Hierarchy to XML Document method to covert the XML hierarchy to the XML document using the following input and output arguments.

Input Arguments (to convert the hierarchy)

Input Arguments	Type	Property Name	Property Data Type
XML Hierarchy	Process Property	Conv Resp Prop	Hierarchy

Output Arguments (to convert the hierarchy)

Property Name	Type	Output Argument
<Value>	Output Argument	XML Document

The MQSeries Receiver component picks up the output from the converter and send it back to the queue.

If the workflow process encounters an error, it will stop processing and passes all process properties to the ErrorHandler to generate a meaningful error to notify the external system.
