A Siebel EIM Invoker transformation is an active transformation that you can use to invoke an EIM task. The EIM task invokes one of the following business functions on a Siebel base table: export, import, merge, or delete. For example, you can invoke an EIM task that deletes rows from a Siebel base table.

The Siebel server requires a configuration file to run a business function. The configuration file specifies the Siebel EIM and base tables and the business function.

When you run a session with a Siebel EIM Invoker transformation, the PowerCenter Integration Service connects to the Siebel server and submits a request to invoke an EIM task. Siebel EIM invokes the specified EIM function.
