Siebel CORBA Interfaces

Siebel CORBA interfaces allow external applications to access Siebel business objects through CORBA using Inprise's Visibroker or Iona's Orbix ORB. (See the system requirements and supported platforms documentation for information on the correct version to use.) The set of interfaces exposed through CORBA is similar to the Siebel COM Data Control and Siebel COM Data Server interfaces. External applications access the Siebel business objects through CORBA. This interface can be used by any external application that accesses Siebel applications for both reading and writing data, without having to display Siebel's user interface.

For external applications to communicate with Siebel applications, you must install the Siebel CORBA Object Manager. A typical setup for a CORBA client accessing the Siebel CORBA Interfaces is shown in Figure 10.

NOTE:  Siebel CORBA Object Manager (SCOM) is a stand-alone product and cannot be administered with Siebel Server Manager.

The name of the Siebel Interface Definition Language (IDL) file is scorba.idl. It can be found in the IDL subdirectory in the CORBAOM directory.
