Connecting and GeoAccess To Siebel

This document describes how to connect Siebel to AND GeoAccess by creating a virtual business component in Siebel based on a custom business service. Key steps include coding init, query, and preinvoke methods to extract field values, call a workflow that interacts with AND GeoAccess, and return results to Siebel. A sample workflow is also described that transforms data between Siebel and AND GeoAccess formats.

How to connect AND GeoAccess to Siebel

Introduction
This document describes the steps to be taken in order to connect to AND GeoAccess to
Siebel.

Virtual Business Component


 Create a Virtual Business Component (VBC) in Siebel and base it on a custom
business service.
 A VBC is based upon a Business Component (Class: CSSBCVExtern)
and a Business Service (Class: CSSService).
 For using a VBC it is mandatory to code (either in VB-script or Java
script) the methods you want to use.
 Some of the methods are executed automatically, so these need to be
coded as well.

Init Method
 The init call returns the list of columns it supports.

Function Init (Outputs)


{
// identify the fields used in the VBC
Outputs.SetProperty ("Country","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("Street","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("Premise","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("Name","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("City","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("PostCode","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("SubscriptionKey","");
Outputs.SetProperty ("UseCleanseSearchMethod","");

Return (CancelOperation);
}
Query Method

 Code the query call to execute a workflow which will perform all the ‘work’ as
follows. To extract the fields and pass these to the workflow you will have to write
some code.

function Query(Inputs)
{
var workflowSvc = TheApplication().GetService("WorkflowProces Manager");
var workflowInputs = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
var tmpOutput = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
var ProcessName = "Workflow AND GeoAccess"

var Country = "";


var Street = "";
var Premise = "";
var Name = "";
var City = "";
var PostCode = "";
var SubscriptionKey = "";
var UseCleansSearchMethod = "";

try
{

Country = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("Country");
Street = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("Street");
Premise = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("Premise");
Name = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("Name");
City = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("City");
PostCode = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("PostCode");
SubscriptionKey = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("SubscriptionKey");
UseCleanseSearchMethod = Inputs.GetChild(0).GetProperty("UseCleanseeSearchMethod")

workflowInputs.SetProperty ("ProcessName", processName);


workflowInputs.SetProperty ("Country",Country);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("Street",Street);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("Premise",Premise);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("Name",Name);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("City",City);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("PostCode",PostCode);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("SubscriptionKey",SubscriptionKey);
workflowInputs.SetProperty ("UseCleanseSearchMethod",UseCleanseSearchMethod);

var outPS = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();


workflowSvc.InvokeMethod("RunProcess",WorkflowInputs,outPS);

var i=0;

var PSName;
while (i < outPS.GetChildCount ())
{
tmpOuput = outPS.GetChild(i).Copy();
PSName = tmpOutput.GetType();
if (PSName == “PropertySet”) { break; }
i++
}
return (tmpOutput);
} catch (e) {return (CancelOperation);}

}
PreInvokeMethod Method
 Code the PreInvokeMethod to propagate the method calls for Init and Query. This is
also the place to capture the data entered by the user for executing the Query Method.

function Service_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName, Inputs, Outputs)


{
if (MethodName == "Init")
{
return(Init(Outputs));
}
else if (MethodName == "Query")
{
try
{
var tmpOutput = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();
var j = 0 ;

tmpOutput = Query (Inputs)

while (j < tmpOutput.GetChildCount())


{
Outputs.AddChild(tmpOutput.GetChild(j).Copy());
j = j + 1;
}
return (CancelOperation);

}
catch (e)
{
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("Error: " + e);
return (CancelOperation);
}
}
else
return (ContinueOperation);
}
Create Workflow

Start The start step

Create SOAP XML This steps needs to create some


XML. It can use any mechanism you
like to use (e.g. Siebel EAI
Adapter, …)

Transform to UTF-8 You need to transform the XML into


the codepage the external system
expects

Call AND GeoAccess Dump the XML to the external


system using the transport it
Webservice supports.

XSLT Transform You transform the external XML


into the format required by Siebel
using XSLT.

To Property Set. Using the XML Converter (XML to


Property Set) you convert the XML
into the ‘PropertySet’ property.

End. The End.
