Creating Siebel EAI OTDs

Before Creating the OTD

Installing seebeyond.sif for Siebel 7.5.x

If you are using Siebel 7.5.x, before you create an OTD using the OTD Wizard, you must install the seebeyond.sif file into your Siebel Tools system. This file is installed in the Netbeans IDE’s user directory during the Netbeans IDE installation.

To Install the seebeyond.sif File

1. Use the Siebel Tools utility to import the seebeyond.sif file into your Siebel Server

   This file is installed with the Netbeans IDE. If you installed the Netbeans IDE in the c:\JavaCAPS\edesigner directory, then the file is located in

   c:\JavaCAPS\edesigner\usrdir\modules\ext\siebeleaiadapter

2. After importing the file, use the Siebel Tools utility to compile your SRF file.
3. Stop the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.
4. Replace the file on the Siebel Server with the one you created in step 2.
5. Restart the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.

Installing SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml for Siebel 7.7 and 7.8.x

If you are using Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x, before you can create an OTD using the OTD Wizard, you must install the SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml file.

To Install the SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml File

1. Open the Siebel Tools utility.
2. In the Object Explorer, click the Workflow Process.
3. Right-click the item in the Object list, and then click Import Workflow Process.
4. Browse to the directory that contains SiebelMessage XSD Generation Process.xml.

   This file is installed with the Netbeans IDE. If you installed the Netbeans IDE in the c:\JavaCAPS\edesigner directory, then the file is located in

   c:\JavaCAPS\edesigner\usrdir\modules\ext\siebeleaiadapter

5. Click Open to begin importing the Workflow template.
6. Select your project.
7. Stop the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.
8. Use the Siebel Tools utility to compile your SRF file.
9. Copy the SRF file to the objects folder in your Siebel Server.
10. Restart the Gateway Server and the Siebel Server.

Before Running the Netbeans IDE

The Netbeans IDE needs to be configured to use the appropriate JAR files to correspond with the version of your Siebel Server. Before you use the Netbeans IDE to create your Siebel EAI Project, you must make sure that your local Netbeans IDE installation is using the proper JAR files for your Siebel Server.

To Run Netbeans with Siebel 7.5.x

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Siebel Adapter directory for your Netbeans IDE.

   If you installed the Netbeans IDE in the c:\JavaCAPS\edesigner directory, then navigate to

   c:\JavaCAPS\edesigner\usrdir\modules\ext\siebeleaiadapter

2. If you have previously used Siebel 7.7 or 7.8.x with this installation of the Netbeans IDE, then remove the following files from this directory:

   • Siebel.jar

   • SiebelJI_enu.jar

3. Copy the following files from your Siebel 7.5.x system (SiebelTools/Classes) to this location:

   • SiebelJI.jar

   • SiebelJI_Common.jar

   • SiebelJI_enu.jar

4. Restart the Netbeans IDE
