Siebel REST Outbound Services

 

Siebel outbound REST is like similar outbound Web service, but It only supports REST outbound calls in JSON format/ SWAGGER compliant schema in JSON format.

To make outbound REST API integration from Siebel much quicker and easier to implement,  featured REST Client for Siebel that allows developers to build integrations quickly and easily between Siebel and external systems using RESTful APIs.

REST Client for Siebel combines two major pieces of functionality into one single suite of services.

Siebel outbound REST functionality leverages Siebel Tools to import the REST contract and to create the required metadata, such as business services, integration objects, and data such as Web service definitions.

First to check configure Java subsystem in Siebel Tools

1.      In tools.cfg file add the below section  [JAVA64]

FullName                 = RESTOutboundJvmSubsys

Description              = RESTOutbound Java Business Service subsystem Parameters

SubsysType               = JVMSubSys

CONTAINERURL             = http://localhost:<Config Agent Port>/siebel/jbs

2 . Add the following section to enable write access to the Siebel Tools Temp folder:

[EAIFileTransportConfigSubsys]

EAIFileTransportFolders = D:\<Siebel Tools>\temp

To create an outbound REST service

1. In Siebel Tools, create and open a new workspace.
2. From the File menu, choose New Object.

The New Object Wizards dialog box appears.

3. Click the EAI tab, select Web Service, and click OK.

The WSDL/JSON Import Wizard appears.

4. Select the project that will hold the objects created from the JSON document.
5. Select the JSON file you want to import.
6. Select the XML file where you want to record the Web service definition imported in the REST Outbound Services Screen.

Siebel Tools must have write access to this location.

7. Select the log file to record errors, warnings, and other information related to the import process, or accept the default.

Siebel Tools must have write access to this location.

8. Click Next.
9. Click Finish to complete the process of importing the external object definitions into the Siebel repository.
10. To view the new outbound REST service, do the following:
1. Open an application such as Callcenter.
2. Navigate to Administration - Web Services.
3. Navigate to Outbound REST Services.

This screen displays values for Service, Endpoint URL, and operations.

 

Business Services

The first object generated by the WSDL/JSON Import Wizard is a REST outbound proxy business service belonging to the CSSWSRESTOutboundDispatcher class

 

You can convert Siebel Property Sets to JSON and JSON to Siebel Property Sets using the Siebel XSL To XML Convertor Business Service. The Business Service has two methods for this purpose.

pstojson – Converts a Siebel Property Set to JSON.

jsontops – Converts JSON to a Siebel Property Set.

Siebel XSL To XML Convertor is included in Repository Upgrade (Optional) in 22.8 and higher. This BS has few usages reference in Siebel Security Guide wherein it was used in sample script for configuring OAuth Support for creating Siebel REST Outbound connections but was not documented until 23.9 documentation. Given the thorough documentation (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/F26413_45/books/EAI4/c-Conversion-Between-Json-and-Siebel-Property-Sets.html#u30242981)

 

1) A bidirectional and fully featured XML / JSON converter which allows easy conversion between XML and JSON data formats. Features include:

·         Query Siebel database using EAI Siebel Adapter and convert the resulting Siebel Integration Object from XML to JSON.

·         Convert JSON payloads into Siebel Integration Object XMLs ready for EAI Siebel Adapter updates.

2) An advanced HTTP Client, featuring for

·         Support for HTTP GET, PUT, POST and DELETE verbs

·         Support for HTML Encoding and Decoding
