Before you can import the data mapping from Siebel to Oracle Policy Modeling, it must first be exported from Siebel to an XML file so that it is compatible with Oracle Policy Modeling. Once you have the XML file, the data mapping can be imported directly into an Oracle Policy Modeling project.
The following describe the steps you must follow to first Export the data mapping from Siebel to an XML file and then to Import that file into an Oracle Policy Modeling project.
Export a Data Mapping from Siebel to an XML File
Launch Siebel and click on the Administration - Policy Automation tab. This is where the mappings can be found.
Highlight the mapping that you want to export and click on the Export button.
In the Policy Automation Configuration Export confirmation dialog, click on the Export button.
In the File Download dialog click on the Save button to complete the export of the data mapping file from Siebel (do not click on the Open button).
In the Save As dialog, select the location to which you wish to save the file, give the file an appropriate name (for example, name of the Siebel mapping with an _Mapping appended) and then click on the Save button .
Import the Data Mapping into an Oracle Policy Modeling Project:
Launch the Oracle Policy Modeling application and select File | New Project... .
In the New Project dialog, give the project a name and click on the Create button. It is suggested that you use the same name as the data mapping you are importing.
From the main menu, select Tools |Siebel | Import Data Model.
On the Import Data Model dialog, locate the <mapping name>_Mapping.XML file and click on the Open button to import the data mapping to your project. You will notice that a new SiebelDataModel.xsrc properties file has been placed in your project; by default, the properties file will always be given that name.
Double click on the SiebelDataModel.xsrc properties file to view its contents:
