About Persistent User Profile Attributes

The persistent user profile consists of persistent user profile attributes, both individual and organizational. These attributes are stored in the Siebel database.

Persistent profile attributes exist in the base tables or extension tables of the S_PARTY table.

The persistent profile attributes can be:

• Person-based or organization-based. They appear as fields in the Personalization Profile business component.
• Present in any S_PARTY-based business component, but the Siebel Personalization Engine loads only those defined in the Personalization Profile business component. All organization-based attribute names start with an Org. prefix.
