Developing and Deploying Siebel eBusiness Applications > Setting Up a Developer's Local Database > About the Local Development EnvironmentDevelopers working with Siebel Tools work on a local database. A local database is a snapshot of the server database that is stored on a user's machine. The data in each local database is a subset of the server database, as determined by each user's visibility rules. The development environment is illustrated in Figure 12. Developers check out object definitions from the server database, then after making and testing changes on their local machines, they check them back into the server database.
Working on a local database using check in and check out, rather than directly on the server database, provides the following benefits.
NOTE: Siebel Web templates are not included in the check in and check out mechanism used to control object definitions. You must manage Siebel Web template files using a third-party source control application or a manual process. Read Moving Modified Web Templates and Related Files. For information on how to perform check in and check out, read Checking Out Projects from the Server and Checking In Projects. |
