Siebel Integration Objects
• Siebel (Internal) Integration Objects are structural property set representations of Siebel Business Objects (BO).
• Business Object  Integration Object
• Business Components  Integration Components
• Business Component Fields  Integration Component Fields
• Passes hierarchically-structured data to and from business service property sets (instances)

Scenario Requirements
Use Siebel XML as the common data format
Use Siebel integration objects to map Siebel data to and from property sets (instances)
In the external application or middleware, transform external data to and from Siebel XML

In this type of integration, the external application must be able to read

Siebel XML, transform the data, and send back Siebel XML

Create a Siebel Integration Object

Use the EAI Siebel Wizard to create a Siebel integration object based on the selected Siebel business
object

Identifies the source as a

Siebel business object

Maveric Systems 5
Create a Siebel Integration Object Continued
Select the business object and enter a name for the integration object

The integration object will be

based on this business object

Maveric Systems 6
Select Integration Components

Select components to be included in the integration object

Maveric Systems 7
Select Integration Components Continued

Expand multi-value fields (MVFs) into child or grandchild integration components; for example:

State MVF in
Employee
points to State
MVF in Position

State MVF
in Position
points to
State SVF In the integration object, these
in Business expand into Position and
Address Position_Business Address

Integration Component Keys
Are a group of fields whose values uniquely identify a record
Are defined by the Integration Object Builder as it creates integration components based on business
components

The EAI Siebel

method queries
for a user key,
then either inserts
or updates values
Wizard generates key fields…
…based on table user keys

 If a Business Object Changes
If the business object changes are minor, select the Siebel integration object and click the Synchronize
button to update it

If the business object changes are

extensive, it is best to create the
Siebel integration object again
instead of trying to synchronize
the outdated one

External Integration Object
Also known as XML integration object
Is necessary when external data is not in Siebel XML format
Matches selected data structures of an external application
Passes hierarchically-structured data to and from business service property sets
Definitions agreed upon between Siebel and External Application and XSDs are finalized

Integration Scenario Requirements
Use non-Siebel XML as the common data format
Transform external data inside the Siebel application
Use integration objects to map data to and from property sets
 Siebel integration objects to map the Siebel data
 External integration objects to map the external data
