Overview

The Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) custom binding. Client applications can consume the Siebel adapter to invoke operations on Siebel artifacts. The Siebel adapter can be consumed:

  • Through a physical port binding in a BizTalk Server solution.

  • By invoking methods on an instance of a client proxy.

  • As a hosted WCF service.

  • By sending SOAP messages over a channel instance in code that uses the WCF channel model.

  • Through an ADO.NET interface.

BizTalk vs WCF service vs WCF channel vs ADO.NET

The following table:

  • Lists the different operations that can be performed on a Siebel system using the Siebel adapter.

  • Indicates which of the approaches (BizTalk Server, WCF service model, WCF channel model, or ADO.NET interface) can be used to perform the operations.

  • Provides links to more information about performing the task using the chosen approach.
