Data Objects Layer

The Data Objects layer for Siebel UCM Applications separates other layers from the database and is used only for data storage. It has native SQL and fully dynamic SQL generation. The data layer allows runtime switching between databases, for example, from local to server or testing to production. It auto-adapts to object manager and user interface requirements, and requires zero downtime for major release schema upgrades.

Siebel UCM Applications support leading databases (DB2 UDB for Windows and UNIX, DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS; Oracle; Microsoft SQL Server) on various platforms. The data layer can scale vertically (with size of server) and horizontally with database parallelization. For further information about the Data Objects layer, see the Siebel architecture basic concepts chapter in Siebel Tools Reference.
