Example of Implementing a Multi-Organization Hierarchy
If you use multi-org, this means that a single record is shared across multiple organizations. For overview information on multi-org, see the section on access control in Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications
In this example, you are adding a new organization to convert a single-org to a multi-org. The process of converting a single-org to a multi-org involves adding the additional organization and its related structure, adding positions, and then associating the data to the new organization.
NOTE: Some data, such as Accounts, has a many-to-many relationship to organizations, while other data, such as Contacts and Service Requests do not.
To convert from single-org to multi-org
- Add a new organization (New Org) into the Organization table.
- Assign records to the new organization.
You can assign records through the GUI or using EIM.
For example, assign an Employee record (Emp1). The Employee records are stored in the S_CONTACT table. There is a many-to-many relationship between the employee and the organization, so the intersection table S_CONTACT_BU holds the relationship between the organization and the employee.
You add a new record in the S_CONTACT_BU intersection table to hold the relationship between New Org and Emp1. Now Emp1 is available to both the original organization and New Org.
- Verify that you can see the record in both organizations.
