Verb application specific information format
Application-specific information for a business object Retrieve verb can specify that
the connector retrieve a limited number of objects on each retrieve. The
application-specific information to retrieve a subset of objects is max=n. An
example of a Retrieve verb that specifies that only five objects are retrieved is:
[Verb] Name = Retrieve AppSpecificInfo = max=5
For other verbs, the application-specific property is not used and should be left
blank or omitted when creating business object definitions.
Multiple record retrieval
The adapter processes the RetrievebyContent verb similarly to the way it processes
the Retrieve verb, except that it does not check to see that all keys are set on the
inbound IBM business object.
The adapter for Siebel supports wrapper business objects. See"Business object
structure and relationships" on page 37. The adapter can retirieve multiple records
during request processing using the RetrievebyContent verb and a wrapper
business object. For a wrapper business object with a multiple cardinality
container, all matching records are returned. For a single cradinality child, only one
record is processed and MULTIPLE_HITS is returned.
Key attribute for create and update verbs
On a Create or Update request, if the Object Key value is different from RowId, the
Siebel application blanks out the Object Key attribute and creates its own RowId
for that record.
Important: You must use RowId as the key attribute in Create and Update
