Siebel Message Example

In this workflow example, an account record is read from an integration object by the EAI Siebel Adapter as a Siebel Message, then validated for conversion from UTF-8 (Unicode) to codepage 1252 (Western European).

To create the validation workflow (Siebel message example)

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

    1. Query Siebel Msg

    2. Validate CP
