You call adapter services from flow or Java services to interact with the Siebel Server. The adapter services perform operations by using Siebel's Business Object Interface (BOI) API.
Integration Server then uses adapter connections that you defined earlier to execute the adapter services. See
webMethods-To-Siebel Communication, for details. The flow or Java services can call adapter services from any kind of
Integration Server client, including a Web browser, Java, C/C++, or Visual Basic client. For example, in a browser client you can create an HTML form that interacts with your Siebel connection using the
Siebel Adapter.
Integration Server and the
Siebel Adapter must be on the same network as your Siebel connection. For instructions to invoke services, see the
webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
