Configure the module for deployment

To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, use IBM Integration Designer to create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy the adapter. You then specify the business objects you want to discover and the system on which you want to discover them.

• Roadmap for configuring the module
  Before you can use WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications in a runtime environment, configure the module. Understanding this task at a high level helps you perform the steps that are needed to accomplish the task.
• Configure the Siebel application to work with the adapter
  Configure the Siebel application to work with the adapter by creating an event table and a Siebel business object.
• Create an authentication alias
  The adapter can use an authentication alias to connect to the Siebel application, instead of using a user ID and password stored in an adapter property.
• Create the project
  To begin the process of creating and deploying a module, you start the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer. The wizard creates a connector project, which is used to organize the files associated with the module.
• Adding external software dependencies
  The external service wizard needs certain files from the Siebel Business Applications server to communicate with it.
• Setting connection properties for the external service wizard
  To set connection properties for the external service wizard so that it can access the Siebel Business Applications server, specify information, such as the Connection URL, user name, and the password you use to access the server. In addition, specify the name or IP address of the server.
• Configure the module for outbound processing
  To configure a module to use the adapter for outbound processing, use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find and select business objects and services from the Siebel application, and to generate the business object definitions and related artifacts.
• Configure the module for inbound processing
  To configure a module to use the adapter for inbound processing, use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find and select business objects and services from the Siebel application, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.
