Configuring a Transport Mechanism (Optional)

The fifth component is a transport mechanism. Although not shown on the diagram, this example uses the MQSeries transport. For information about transport mechanisms supported by Oracle, see Transports and Interfaces: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

To configure an MQSeries transport

  1. Name the transport component appropriately (it must be unique within the workflow).

  2. Choose the type of business service from the multi-value group (MVG) window.

    For this component, choose the EAI MQSeries Server Transport.

  3. Choose the method.

    This example uses the Send method.

  4. Set the input and output arguments, including the Physical Queue Name, the Queue Manager Name, and the Message Text.

    The following are the input argument settings for the example MQSeries transport configuration.

    Input Argument Type Value Property Name Property Data Type

    Message Text

    Process Property

    XML Document

    String

    Physical Queue Name

    Literal

    TO_ACORD_QUEUE

    Queue Manager Name

    Literal

    SHAN

    This step completes the outbound workflow. The outbound ACORD XML connector can be used as the basis for any workflow that is used to send an outbound request message.
