Hello All,
Recently I had a requirement wherein, i was required to share the attachment with Order over WebService.
This seems a bit tricky, but siebel has made it Possible via the IO based structure. We have to use IO that has the attachment IC and when we retrieve the Hierarchy of the IO, we can see the output of attachment IC and it is in MIME format encode with BASE64 encoding.
Now the target system has to read the file buffer and decode using any online Decoder or write a custom decoder.
Sample Structure looks like ,

Hi Rahul,
ReplyDeleteI am also working on a requirement where I need to create an attachment in Siebel but the binary data has to come via inbound REST. How can we get the Binary data from JSON and create attachment in Siebel.
Hello Piyush,
ReplyDeletefrom REST it is not possible as Siebel does not support Attachments in REST. it might be supported in IP20.5 but not sure.
You will have to use Siebel SOAP web service only to achieve this,
for example , you need to attach a file to Contact
1. Create a IO with below structure
Contact (Primary IC), Contact Attachment (child IC)
2. Call EAI Siebel Adapter Update method and pass the binary of Attachement here,
sample IO Upsert message will look like
siebelMessage
ContactIC..
---
/Contact IC
AttachmentIC
Name:ABC
type:txt
buffer:>00sdsds4444(Binary of attachment)
/AttachmentIC
/Contact
please refer bookshelf for exact syntax, mail me at rahulymca007@gmail.com in case any clarification
