When we want to expose Siebel functionality to other non-Siebel applications, we create Inbound Web Service and expose Siebel functionality either by a Business Service or a Workflow. We can expose these entities as Web Services. Once you have created a Web Service and generated the WSDL file, you need any third party application to do a live test for the Web Service. SoapUI is a nice software and freely available to test Web Services.

Below are some steps to get SoapUI and make it ready for testing. You can test any Web Service in SoapUI whose WSDL file is avalialble.

1. Download SoapUI from this location.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136013&package_id=163662&release_id=657327
Download this file – soapui-2.5.1-win32-standalone-bin.zip

2. Start SoapUI application from the file \soapui-2.5-win32-standalone-bin\soapui-2.5\bin\soapui.bat.

Click File -> New SoapUI Project.
Give any name to the Project and the path of WSDL file (which you generated from Inbound Web Service Administration in Siebel Sitemap)

How to give authentication parameters in SoapUI to connect to Siebel?

Open the Request Message from the Left Pane of SoapUI. Edit the Request message to give the Authentication details in the header section as below.

<soapenv:Header>
     <ns1:SessionType xmlns:ns1="http://siebel.com/webservices">None</ns1:SessionType>
      <ns2:UsernameToken xmlns:ns2="http://siebel.com/webservices">Loginname</ns2:UsernameToken>
      <ns3:PasswordText xmlns:ns3="http://siebel.com/webservices">Passwrd</ns3:PasswordText>
</soapenv:Header>

If you want to give the Authentication Parameters in the end-point Url itself, then give as shown below –
https://<webserver>/ObjectMgrName_enu/start.swe?SWEExtSource=CustomUI&SWEExtCmd=Execute&UserName=Loginname&Password=Passwrd

Get these LoginName and Password from you Application Architecture Team, actually these are non-SSO based login and Pwds.
