Outbound event processing

Outbound event processing allows a client to make calls to the adapter to perform a specific operation in a Siebel business application.

The client can request a connection using a connection factory and connection specification that specify the user name and password used for authentication. For service component architecture clients, the functionality of the adapter is exposed through interfaces described by a Web services description language (WSDL). The outbound service description, EISImportBinding, is a service component description language artifact that is produced by the enterprise service discovery wizard. It is an import file. The values required at runtime are present in the import file, which specify the function name, user name, and password required.

The client automatically creates an interaction specification that specifies a function name that is a valid method of the business service. The business service name is in the metadata of the incoming business object.

The mechanisms execute a request using the interaction of the adapter. The adapter uses the input business object to determine the business service and the function name to determine the method to invoke.

The adapter creates a copy of the input business object, which is populated with results, as the output business object. The adapter builds the required Siebel property set based on the input business object and invokes the business service. The Siebel property set output is then populated in the output business object. The output business object is returned to the WebSphere® Business Integration record implementation, which is returned to the calling client.
