Property Set Node Types

When passing integration object instances as the input or output of a business service, you can use property sets to represent different node types, as presented in the following table.

Name Parent Value of Type Attribute Properties Description

Service Method Arguments

Not applicable

Ignored

The properties of this property set contain the service specific parameters, such as PrimaryRowId for the EAI Siebel Adapter.

This is the top-level (highest-level) property set of a business service’s input or output. The properties of this property set contain the service-specific parameters (for example, PrimaryRowId for the EAI Siebel Adapter).

SiebelMessage

Service Method Arguments

SiebelMessage

The properties of this property set contain header attributes associated with the integration object, for example, IntObjectName.

This property set is a wrapper around a set of integration object instances of a specified type. To pass integration objects between two business services in a workflow, this property set is copied to and from a workflow process property of type Hierarchy.

Object List

SiebelMessage

ListOfObjectType

Not used.

This property set identifies the object type that is being represented. The root components of the object instances are children of this property set.

Root Component

Object List

Root Component Name

The property names of the property set represent the field names of the component, and the property values are the field values.

This property set represents the root component of an integration object instance.

Child Component Type

Root Component or Component

ListOfComponent Name

Not used.

An integration component can have a number of child component types, each of which can have zero or more instances. The Integration Object Hierarchy format groups the child components of a given type under a single property set. This means that child components are actually grandchildren of their parent component’s property set.

Child Components

Child Component Type

Component Name

The property names of the property set represent the field names of the component, and the property values are the field values.

This property set represents a component instance. It is a grandchild of the parent component’s property set.
