Siebel eScript runs on both Windows and Unix operating systems. With these built-in languages, you can extend and configure your Siebel application beyond the capabilities provided by declarative object property definition. The languages are integrated with other Siebel tools, such as the Applet Designer, Siebel CTI, and Siebel SmartScript.
