Skipnode Operation

Similar to all other Execute operations, the children nodes inherit the semantics of the operation from the parent nodes. If a node has the skipnode operation set, then the EAI Siebel Adapter will skip setting field values for all children unless a child has an explicit operation set that will override.

<SiebelMessage MessageId="1-2RE" MessageType="Integration Object" 
IntObjectName="EAI Account"  IntObjectFormat="Siebel Hierarchical">
 	 <ListOfAccount>
	<Account operation="skipnode">
		<Name>foo</Name>
			<Location>cold storage</Location>
			<ListOfContact>
  				<Contact operation="upsert">
			<IntegrationId>1-123</IntegrationId>
    				<FirstName>firstname</FirstName>
    				<LastName>contact1</LastName>
  			<ListOfContact_Organization>
   				 <Contact_Organization>
      			<Organization operation="insert">MyOrganization</Organization>
      			</Contact_Organization>
			</ListOfContact_Organization>
  				</Contact>
  			<Contact operation="upsert">
		<IntegrationId>2-123</IntegrationId>
  				<FirstName>firstname</FirstName>
  				<LastName>contact2</LastName>
  				</Contact>
			</ListOfContact>
		</Account>
  	</ListOfAccount>
</SiebelMessage>

Based on this example, the account is skipped. However, the EAI Siebel Adapter will attempt to insert the two contacts.

EAI Siebel Adapter Business Service Method Arguments

Each of the EAI Siebel Adapter methods takes arguments that allow you to specify required and optional information to the adapter. You can locate the arguments for each method (and whether it can be used as an input argument, output argument, or both) in the following table.

The following table presents each argument of the EAI Siebel Adapter business service methods.

Argument	Display Name	Description
BusObjCacheSize	Business Object Cache Size	Default is 5. Maximum number of Business Objects instances cached by the current instance of the EAI Siebel Adapter. If set to zero, then the EAI Siebel Adapter does not use the cache.
DeleteByUserKey	Delete By User Key	A Boolean argument. Forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use only the user keys to identify a record.
ErrorOnNonExisting Delete	Error On Non Existing Delete	A Boolean argument. Determines whether or not the EAI Siebel Adapter aborts the operation if no match is found.
ExecutionMode	Execution Mode	Used to set the direction of a query on a business component. Valid values are ForwardOnly and Bidirectional. The default is Bidirectional. ForwardOnly is more efficient than Bidirectional, and is recommended in cases where you must process a large number of records in the forward direction only (such as for report generation). For operations that are likely to return more than 10000 records, use ForwardOnly to avoid errors. For more information on executing queries, see the topic on the ExecuteQuery business component method in Siebel Object Interfaces Reference.
IntObjectName	Integration Object Name	Name of the integration object to delete.
LastPage	Last Page	Boolean indicating whether or not the last record in the query result set has been returned.
MessageId	Message Id	The MessageId can be used to specify the ID for the generated message. By default, the EAI Siebel Adapter generates a unique ID for each message. However, if you want to use the workflow instance ID, then you can use this argument to specify the ID.
NewQuery	New Query	Default is False. Boolean indicating whether a new query will be executed. If set to True, a new query is executed flushing the cache for that particular integration object.
NumOutputObjects	Number of Output Integration Objects	Number of output integration objects.
OutputIntObjectName	Output Integration Object Name	The name of the integration object that is to be output.
PageSize	Page Size	Default is 10. Indicates the maximum number of integration object instances to be returned.
PrimaryRowId	Object Id	The PrimaryRowId refers to the Id field in the Business Component, Row_Id at the table level. PrimaryRowId is only returned as an output argument if you are passing in one integration object instance. If you are passing multiple integration object instances, then this argument is not returned as an output argument. To obtain the ID field when multiple integration objects are processed, use the StatusObject argument.
QueryByUserKey	Query By Key	A Boolean argument. Forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use only the user keys to perform a query.
SearchSpec	Search Specification	This argument allows you to specify complex search specifications as free text in a single method argument. For information, see About Using Language-Independent Code with the EAI Siebel Adapter Business Service.
SiebelMessage	Siebel Message	The input or the output integration object instance.
SortSpec	Sort Specification	Default is the SortSpec of the underlying business component. This argument allows you to specify complex sort criteria as a free text in a single method argument, using any business component fields and standard Siebel sort syntax. For examples, see Using Siebel Tools.
StartRowNum	Starting Row Number	Default is 0 (first page). Indicates the row in the result set for the QueryPage method to start retrieving a page of records.
StatusObject	Status Object	This argument tells the EAI Siebel Adapter whether or not to return a status message.
ViewMode	View Mode	Default is All. Visibility mode to be applied to the Business Object. Valid values are: Manager, Sales Rep, Personal, Organization, Sub-Organization, Group, Catalog, and All. Note that the ViewMode user property on the integration object has priority over the ViewMode method argument.
