Process Flow for Data Copying

Data mapping and signals work together to call the ISS Copy Service business service to the copy the appropriate data. For more information about this business service, see ISS Copy Service Business Service.

A description of this copy process follows:

1. An administrator makes sure that the signals are set up appropriately.

2. An administrator defines a data map. This definition is stored in the Siebel database.

3. A user makes a request (for example, by clicking the Revise button). The request initiates a signal (for example, ReviseCopyAgreement) that launches the ISS Copy Service business service.

4. The ISS Copy Service business service retrieves the variable map definition, either from the Siebel database or from the cache.

5. The ISS Copy Service business service issues the required queries and business service calls to construct a property set.

6. The controller workflow calls the Copy method for ISS Copy Service business service and passes the ReviseAgreement data map as a parameter.

7. The ISS Copy Service business service writes the updated field values back to the Siebel database.
