MetaData import

This topic describes how metadata import works.

You can generate business objects from the business services in the Siebel EIS. The adapter retrieves the list of business services from the Siebel EIS repository. From the business services selected, you can generate coresponding business objects. You can also provide details for the input and output integration object that correspond with the complex type arguments in the business service method for each selected business service.
Note: Business objects are generated for the input and output integration objects tool along with the one generated for the business service. However, if the integration object details are already present as part of the business service method, then, you need not provide input.

When you select a business service for generation, the methods under the business service become the functions. For example, if the business service is EAI Siebel Adapter and its methods are Insert, Update, Upsert, the business objects generated on a per-method basis will have the same methods as the corresponding functions.
