Receiving a Message and Writing It to a File

This example uses the Receive method of the EAI File Transport business service to receive a message as a file, then it uses the Send method of the EAI File Transport business service and the FileTranspSubsys named subsystem to write the message to a file.

To receive a message and write it to a file

1. Define an EAI File Transport named subsystem, for example:

   create named subsystem FileConnSubsys_sub for subsystem FileTranspSubsys with 
   FileName="D:\temp\FileOut.txt", AppendToFile=true
   

2. Create a workflow containing the following steps, as shown in the following image:

   1. Receive

   2. Write to File

   

   Note: For details on the Business Process Designer, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

3. Define the following process properties:

   Name	Data Type	In/Out	Default String
   BinaryMsg	Binary	In/Out	Not applicable
   Error Code	String	In/Out	Not applicable
   Error Message	String	In/Out	Not applicable
   Object Id	String	In/Out	Not applicable
   Process Instance Id	String	In/Out	Not applicable
   Siebel Operation Object Id	String	In/Out	Not applicable

4. Set up the first business service step to use the EAI File Transport business service with the Receive method and the following input and output arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value
   FileName	Literal	D:\temp\InputToFile.txt

   Property Name	Type	Output Argument
   BinaryMsg	Output Argument	<Value>

5. Set up the second business service step to use the EAI File Transport business service with the Send method and the following input arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   <Value>	Process Property	Not applicable	BinaryMsg
   ConnectionSubsystem	Literal	FileConnSubsys_sub	Not applicable
