XML Hierarchy Example

In this workflow example, a file encoded in codepage 932 (Japanese) is read into an XML hierarchy, then validated for conversion into codepage 1252 (Western European).

To create the validation workflow (XML hierarchy example)

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

   1. EAI XML Read from File

   2. Transcode Service (Validate)

   

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

2. Define the following process properties:

   Name	Data Type	In/Out
   Error Code	String	In/Out
   Error Message	String	In/Out
   Siebel Operation Object Id	String	In/Out
   XMLHier	Hierarchy	In/Out

3. Set up the first business service step to use the EAI XML Read from File business service with the ReadXMLHier method and the following input and output arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value
   FileName	Literal	c:\JPN_JIS.xml

   Property Name	Type	Output Argument
   XMLHier	Output Argument	XMLHierarchy

4. Set up the second business service step to use the Transcode Service business service with the Validate method and the following input arguments:

   Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name
   SourceEncoding	Literal	CP932	Not applicable
   TargetEncoding	Literal	CP1252	Not applicable
   ValidationMode	Literal	Not applicable	Not applicable
   XMLHierarchy	Process Property	Not applicable	XMLHier
