Outbound Integration

The EAI MIME Hierarchy Converter transforms the input Siebel Message into a MIME Hierarchy. The following figure illustrates the Siebel Message of a sample Account with attachments. This figure represents both input and output to the MIME Hierarchy Converter.

Sample Account with Attachments as Input to the MIME Hierarchy Converter. In this image, SiebelMessage has the following children: ListOfSampleAccounts and Attachments. ListOfSampleAccounts has SampleAccount, SampleAccount has . . . , and Attachments has Contact1.txt and Contact2.txt.

The output of this process is illustrated in the following figure.

Output of a MIME Hierarchy Converter. This image is described in surrounding text.

The first child of a MIME Hierarchy is the XML format of the Sample Account Integration Object instance found in the Siebel Message. The remaining two children are the corresponding children found after Attachments. If there is no child of type Attachments in the Siebel Message, then the output is just a MIME Hierarchy with a child of type Document. This document will contain the XML format of the Sample Account integration object instance.
