Integrating Siebel Applications

Description:

Please note that the Siebel 7.7 Integration Core Exam will retire on February 28, 2006. After this date, the certification Siebel 7.7 Certified Integration Consultant will no longer be available.

Oracle Partners that want to obtain an Oracle Integration Champion accreditation, please check for more information the Siebel Assessments and Certification page on Oracle PartnerNetwork.

This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge to integrate Siebel applications in a variety of integration strategies. Participants learn various Siebel EAI technologies to integrate Siebel applications, thus enabling them to select and implement an appropriate integration strategy to meet their business requirements. Participants also learn how these technologies can be used in different integration topologies. During the latter part of the course, they explore the components of the Universal Application Network (UAN) architecture and learn how pre-packaged integration applications provide rapid, effective integration solutions. The UAN section of the course is designed to focus on the general UAN technology and does not contain content that is specific to a given integration server. This course is intended for members of Siebel implementation teams (customers, partners, and system integrators) who are responsible for integrating Siebel applications with other applications in their systems. The course focuses primarily on Siebel technology and concepts. Learn To:

• Use Siebel Data Mapper to create a data map between an internal and external integration object
• Test the workflow using the business process simulator
• Configure a Siebel application to receive and process messages from a queue
• Modify a Siebel-supplied ASI
• Publish a Siebel application services interface (ASI) as a Web service
• Extend common and application objects by adding new fields

Audience:

Functional Implementer
Technical Consultant

Objectives:

• List the ways external applications can access Siebel objects via programmatic interfaces
• Use the business service simulator to test a business service
• Describe the structure and role of property sets
• Examine the output of the EAI Siebel Adapter business service using the business service simulator
• List the set of methods supported by EAI transports
• List the ways to invoke an integration workflow in production
• Explain when data mapping is required
• Explain the architecture of queue-based messaging
• Configure an integration workflow to use an outbound queue-based transport
• Describe the role and structure of Application Services Interfaces (ASIs)
• Create a proxy business service that invokes an external Web service
• Configure an external business component
• Describe a virtual business component (VBC), its structure, and limitations
• Identify the major components in the Universal Application Network (UAN) architecture
• Describe the purpose of UAN transformation flows
• Describe the steps to deploy a Siebel-delivered business integration process on a typical UAN-compliant integration server
