Updating the Data Maps

This topic describes how to update the Inbound and Outbound Siebel Data Maps to identify the new fields you created for the PIMSI integration objects described in Updating Integration Objects.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Custom Objects in Siebel Outlook Add-In.

Note: When performing the procedures in this topic, replace Household with the name of the Siebel object you are adding to the Siebel Outlook Add-In, and Contact with the name of the Microsoft Outlook object you want to link to the new Siebel object.

The following procedure describes how to update the Siebel Inbound Data Maps.

To update the Siebel Inbound Data Maps

  1. In your Siebel application, navigate to the Administration - Integration screen, then the Data Map Editor view.

  2. Query for the relevant Inbound Map, in this example, the PIMSI Business Contact Inbound Map.

  3. In the Integration Component Map applet, add a new record for the new entity, using values similar to those shown in the following table.

    Attribute Value Description

    Name

    HouseholdInfo_ContactHousehold

    Specify the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI intermediate integration object, then the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI integration component.

    Source Component Name

    HouseholdInfo

    Specify the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI intermediate integration object component.

    Target Component Name

    Contact_Household

    Specify the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI integration object component.

  4. In the Integration Field Map applet, add a new record for each field that is to be made available in the Outlook Add-In using values similar to those shown in the following table. In this example, add only two fields, HouseholdName and HouseholdId. You can add additional rows, if required.

    Source Expression Target Field Name Description

    [HouseholdName]

    Household Name

    The Source Expression must contain an expression. In most cases, the expression is an integration component field name in square brackets. It can be a more complex expression, for example, an IIF(…) expression.

    See Configuring Siebel Business Applications for information on building expressions.

    [HouseholdId]

    Household Id

    The Source Expression must contain an expression. In most cases, the expression is an integration component field name in square brackets. It can be a more complex expression, for example, an IIF(…) expression.

    See Configuring Siebel Business Applications for information on building expressions.

  5. In the Integration Object Map applet, click the Validate button to verify the mapping.

The following procedure describes how to update the Siebel Outbound Data Maps.

To update the Siebel Outbound Data Maps

  1. In your Siebel application, navigate to the Administration - Integration screen, then the Data Map Editor view.

  2. Query for the relevant Outbound Map, in this example, the PIMSI Business Contact Outbound Map.

  3. In the Integration Component Map applet, add a new record for the new entity, using values similar to those shown in the following table.

    Attribute Value Description

    Name

    ContactHousehold_HouseholdInfo

    Specify the name of the Integration Object Component from the PIMSI integration object, then the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI intermediate integration component.

    Source Component Name

    Contact_Household

    Specify the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI integration object component.

    Target Component Name

    HouseholdInfo

    Specify the name of the integration object component from the PIMSI intermediate integration object component.

    Source Search Specification

    IsMVGPrimary=’Y’

    Only the primary MVG records can be shown in Outlook Add-In.

  4. In the Integration Field Map applet, add a new record for the Id field, and for each field that is to be made available in the Outlook Add-In, using values similar to those shown in the following table. In this example, add the HouseholdName field. You can add additional rows, if required.

    Source Expression Target Field Name Description

    [Household Name]

    HouseholdName

    The Source Expression must contain an expression. In most cases, the expression is an integration component field name in square brackets. It can be a more complex expression, for example, an IIF(…) expression.

    See Configuring Siebel Business Applications for information on building expressions.

    [Household Id]

    HouseholdId

    The Source Expression must contain an expression. In most cases, the expression is an integration component field name in square brackets. It can be a more complex expression, for example, an IIF(…) expression.

    See Configuring Siebel Business Applications for information on building expressions.
