Built-In Services For Connections
The Siebel Adapter connects to a Siebel Server at run time. You configure one or more connections at design time to use in integrations. The number of connections you configure, and the types of those connections, depend on your integration needs. For example, if you have multiple Siebel installations, you can access each one using different connections.
Siebel Adapter connections contain Siebel connection parameters that:
*Enable the adapter connection to log in to a Siebel application.
*Define the type of Siebel client that the adapter uses to connect to the Siebel Server (see Connection Types).
*Enable the Integration Server to manage a pool of connection objects at run time (see Connection Pooling).
*Enable the adapter connection to use the load balancing available with Siebel Server 7.7 and later. For more information, see Using Connections with Siebel Server Load Balancing.
You configure connections using the Integration Server Administrator. You must have webMethods administrator privileges to access the Siebel Adapter's administrative screens.
For instructions to configure and manage Siebel Adapter connections, see Siebel Adapter Connections. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
For a list of tasks that you must complete before you can configure your connections, see Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Connections.
