This topic describes how the Adapter for Siebel Business Applications works.
The WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications connects to Siebel applications running on application servers. It does so by making calls to the Siebel native interfaces and passing data to and from the Siebel application. The adapter supports Siebel integration interfaces.
For inbound processing, the adapter spawns listener threads to the Siebel application. Whenever an event occurs in Siebel, the event is pushed to the adapter via the event listeners. The adapter can track and recover events in case of abrupt termination using the data source for persisting the event state in an event recovery table.
Note that the adapter supports container managed sign-on and basic authentication. It does not support re-authentication.
The following diagram illustrates how the adapter communicates with the Siebel application for inbound and outbound processing. Diagram needed.
