1. Introduction

Oracle Fusion Middleware provides a wide set of capabilities to enable, manage, and integrate services andevents across Siebel CRM and all other services and applications that may exist in your company.

OracleAS Integration provides a unique design time experience for easy-to-use and rapid configuration ofAdapters. The tool has built-in support for introspecting the EIS application metadata and to automatically

generate the metadata for Adapter Services. Users can browse or search for specific EIS interfaces, business

objects and operations.

The Adapter for Siebel provides comprehensive, bi-directional, standards-based, real-time connectivity to

Siebel 8 application systems. The Adapter supports both JCA and Web Service standards for creation of openand reusable service-oriented applications (SOA). The Adapter provides an easy-to-use, robust, scalable

connectivity platform to non-intrusively access and expose the critical business logic and data contained with

Siebel for building an integrated enterprise.

The Oracle AS Adapter provides bi-directional connectivity to Siebel. It uses the Siebel COM and Java DataBean API to synchronously invoke Siebel transactions - Siebel Business Objects and Business Services. It uses

Siebels robust EAI framework to asynchronously receive events from Siebel in the form of Siebel IntegrationObjects. It supports more than one way of receiving events from the Siebel application namely Files, HTTP and

MQSeries and ensures guaranteed delivery of Siebel events. It translates Siebel native data to standard XML

format and back. The following diagram explains the communication between Siebel and OracleAS Adapter.

2. Overview

In this article we first create a Web service from a Siebel Call Center 7.8 and we take a Siebel Business Service

to generate a WSDL file, which can be used in Oracle BPEL process to connect to Siebel Account throughOracle Siebel Adapter service.

If you use Web services as your business service technology, model information will be exposed to the viewand controller layers through ADF data control interfaces implemented by thin, Oracle-provided adapter

classes. We use the direct web services for integration and finally demonstrate on how to use BPEL Process

Manager to consume a Siebel generated WSDL to invoke an inbound Siebel Account Web Service through

Oracle ADF to generate an account in Siebel.

3. Scenario

The process starts with consuming a prepared Siebel Business Service through the Administration-Web services

functionality from Siebel Thin Client, and expose it as an inbound Web service. After adding operations to theinbound Web service, we generate a WSDL file.

Next we perform Web Service Data Control form JDeveloper to interact with the Web service that is generated

and provide the operations for data control to build the required JSF pages using Oracle ADF. The operationwithin WSDL files are used to create the data control and exposes the Siebel Account details.

From the JDeveloper IDE we create two JSF pages to handle QueryByID operation from the available data

control, and the other JSF page to return details based on the ID given in the query page to return the requireddetails from the Siebel Customer Account.

The Web service (i.e. WSDL) form Siebel is deployed into Oracle SOA Suite and invoked from BPEL console

to create a data control based on the running Web service and create a JSF page using the data control. ThisWeb service allows us to create a new customer and returns the Customer ID provided for this new customer.

4. Prerequisites

This guide assumes that:

You have installed Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1).

You have installed Oracle JDeveloper 10g. (10.1.3.4).

You have access to Siebel Call Center 7.8.

You have installed and configured Oracle Siebel Adapter through Application Explorer from OracleAS10g Adapters.

5. Development Steps

Go to Oracle Siebel Call Center 7.8 login page and login with the defined credentials.

On the Home page click on Site Map icon.

In the Accounts Home page click on Accounts link.


4/25


On Administration -Web Services page click on Inbound Web Services and navigate to the Siebel Customer

Account under Name tab.

Double click on Siebel Customer Account to view the Service Ports


5/25


Note down the Address for CustAccount and the type ofTransport protocol used (HTTP) under Service

Ports

For Example:http:/localhost:8081/eai_enu/start.swe?SWEExtSource=WebService&SWEExtCmd=Execute&UserName=SAD

MIN&Password=


6/25


Create the above shown Operations for Insert, QuerById, QueryByExample and set the Authentication type

to None. Go to Menu and click on Save Record under Operations, Service Ports and Inbound Web

Services tab for the changes to take effect.

Click on Generate WSDL button to save the WSDL file on to your system.

The generated xml file is displayed in your browser.

Save the file as SiebelWS.wsdl on your local system. This file is used later in the BPEL process.


7/25


Create A Web Service Data Control:

Now we use Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and ADF (Application Development Framework) components todevelop a Web application with Siebel Call Center 7.8. We use the created Web service (SiebelWS.wsdl) from

a Siebel Call Center application as a data control for the JSF pages. Here the data from Siebel application is

used to build a JSP user interfaces using Oracle ADF.

Start JDeveloper and create a new application as shown below


8/25


Name the project to DataControl.

Right click on DataControl to create a new WebService Data Control

Select Web Service Data Control under Web Services


9/25


In the Create Web Service Data Control wizard, clickNext to skip the Welcome page.

In Step 1, type SiebelWS as the name for this data control.

Next step shows the operations available: select CustAccount and use the Add button to shuttle the selection in

the Selected pane for QueryById.


10/25


clickFinish to create the data control.

In the Applications Navigator, expand the nodes that now exist and review the new entries that have been

created. The Applications Navigator should look like this:

Click the save all icon to save the workspace.

Creating an user interface:Now we create a second project for the JSF views.

In the Applications Navigator, right-click the Siebel_OracleAS_Integration node and select New Project fromthe context menu.


11/25


Select an Empty Project in Projects.

Name the project as WebInterface.

Click the save all icon to save your work.


12/25


Creating the Insert Page:

Select JSF from New Gallery and select JSF Page Flow & Configuration.

Name the Configuration file faces-config.xml


13/25


Drag a JSF Page from Component Palette into faces-config.xml pane and name it QueryByID.jsp

Drag another JSF page and name it Viewresult.jsp as shown below.


14/25


Add the JSF Navigation case from Component palette from QueryByID.jsp to ViewResult.jsp as shown

above.

Add Navigation Rules to Viewresult.jsp as shown above.


15/25


Add the Folowing navigation Case as shown above and rename it to toViewResult.

Double click the QueryByID.jsp and select JSP Document.

Click Next for Component Binding


16/25
