WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications documentation
IBM® WebSphere® Adapter for Siebel Business Applications provides
the ability for IBM Business Process ManagerandWebSphere Enterprise Service Bus to
exchange information with a Siebel application server.
Planning for adapter implementation
Before you configure WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications Software,
consider whether you must set up the adapters in a clustered environment,
in which the workload of the server is distributed across multiple
machines. Also, if you are migrating from
an earlier version of WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications Software,
perform any migration tasks.
Samples and tutorials
To help you use WebSphere Adapters,
samples and tutorials are available from the Business Process Management
Samples and Tutorials website.
Configuring the module for deployment
To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on IBM Business Process Manager or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus,
use IBM Integration Designer to
create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy
the adapter. You
then specify the business objects you want to discover and the system
on which you want to discover them.
Modifying artifacts
Often business requirements mandate changes to the backend
enterprise information system (EIS) data structures. These changes
call for regeneration and reconfiguration of artifacts (import and
export) that were previously generated using the external service wizard.
Changing interaction specification properties
To change interaction specification properties for your
adapter module after generating the service, use the assembly editor
in IBM Integration Designer.
Deploying the module
Deploy a module to place the files that make up your module
and adapter into an operational environment for production
or testing. In IBM Integration Designer,
the integrated test environment features runtime support for IBM Business Process Manager or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, or both, depending on the test environment
profiles that you selected during installation.
Administering the adapter module
When you are running the adapter in a stand-alone deployment,
use the administrative console of the server to start, stop, monitor,
and troubleshoot the adapter module. In an application that uses an
embedded adapter, the adapter module starts or stops when the application
is started or stopped.
Troubleshooting and support
Common troubleshooting techniques and self-help information
help you identify and solve problems quickly. For
information about configuring logging properties and changing the
log and trace file names, see Configuring logging and tracing.
Reference information
To support you in your tasks, reference information includes
details about business objects that are generated by the external service wizard and
information about adapter properties, including those that support
bidirectional transformation. It also includes pointers to adapter
messages and related product information.
