Siebel EAI Adapter
An adapter is a Siebel EAI component that provides a low level interface to allow one application to talk to another application. The three types of adapters available in Siebel EAI include: Siebel EAI adapters
EAI Siebel Adapter. The EAI Siebel Adapter business service is specifically designed to interact with the Siebel business object layer. It is a business service in a Siebel application that can use an XML document as input, or can use a property set that conforms to an integration object definition in the Siebel system. EAI Siebel Adapter can then query, insert, update, delete, or synchronize data with the Siebel business object layer.
EAI UI Data Adapter. The EAI UI Data Adapter business service allows a Web application that is custom built to access business components and business objects. This adapter publishes strongly typed APIs to allow data centric object manager operations, such as insert, delete, update, query or execute. The EAI UI Data Adapter supports the query by example and the predefined query.
Transport Adapter. A transport adapter is a business service within Siebel EAI that is designed to communicate with other protocols and technologies that exist outside of a Siebel application. A transport adapter transports data from the Siebel system to another system:
The HTTP transport in Siebel EAI allows a Siebel application to communicate over the HTTP protocol.
The MQSeries adapter allows a Siebel application to communicate with the IBM MQSeries messaging system.
The MSMQ adapter allows a Siebel application to communicate with the Microsoft MQ messaging system.
