The iWay Application Adapter for Siebel enables interaction with Siebel Business Services, Business Components, and Integration Objects.

When using the adapter to integrate with Siebel Business Services and Business Components, the adapter uses the Siebel-supplied Java Data Bean or COM EAI interface. You are not required to create Siebel workflows. Also, because the service is accomplished through a TCP connection, you do not require a transport layer such as MQSeries, File, or HTTP.

A request begins with the sending of an XML request document. In most cases, the response is an XML response document that indicates the execution of the Business Service or Business Component.

When using the adapter to integrate with Siebel Integration Objects, the adapter uses Siebel XML, HTTP, File, WebSphere MQ, and MSMQ transports and Siebel workflows. The workflow is defined within Siebel to either emit or receive Siebel XML through one of the supported Siebel transport services for MQSeries, File, or HTTP.

Encoding Support on UNIX Platforms

When using the adapter in a third-party application server environment on UNIX environments, you must edit the startup script for your server to add a JVM option specifying the file encoding:

java $REMDBG -cp $CLASSPATH -DIWAY7=$IWAY7 
  -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1 edaqm -config $SCRIPT $2 $3 $4 $5 $6
