Using the EAI HTTP Transport in Sessionless Mode

Using the EAI HTTP Transport in sessionless mode allows you to use one URL to perform Login, Request, and Logoff in a single HTTP request. This mode does not use session cookies because there is no login session between the HTTP requests. The disadvantage of this mode is the overhead incurred by the Application Object Manager needing to log in with every request.

The following table describes each of the variables for sessionless mode.

Variable Description

webserver

URL of the Web server that has Siebel Application Interface (AI) installed, such as www.myserver.com.

path

Virtual path on the server referring to the specific AI profile configuration. The default is siebel/app/eai/lang, where lang is the language in which you are running the applicable Siebel Application Object Manager.

source

Named subsystem as specified in the [HTTP Services] section in the application configuration (.cfg) file.

username

Siebel user name for the Siebel Application Object Manager login.

Note: Passing user credentials in the URL is not supported in Siebel CRM.

password

Password for the login user name.

data text

Business service input data. Most of the time, this is the text of an XML document that on the server side is converted to a PropertySet and passed to the business service. For more information about how to pass Properties and PropertySet to Business Services, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.
