Deployment Planning Guide > Siebel Architecture Overview > About Siebel ToolsSiebel Tools is a Windows-based, object-oriented development environment for creating and customizing Siebel Business Applications. Siebel Tools is also a way to integrate programs written using Siebel scripting languages. A standard Siebel application provides a core set of object definitions that you can use as a basis for your own tailored application. Siebel Tools object definitions are grouped into four layers with different purposes:
Object types in a given layer depend on definitions in the next lower layer, and are insulated from other layers in the structure. This means, for example, that you can make changes to a Siebel application without changing the underlying database structure. Similarly, you can extend the Siebel database schema without affecting the Siebel application. For additional information on Siebel Tools, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications. |
