About the Siebel Database Server

The Siebel Database Server stores the data used by Siebel Business Applications. Siebel Developer Web Clients, Siebel Tools Clients, and Siebel Server components connect directly to the Siebel Database Server and make changes in real time. Developer Web Clients download a subset of the data to use locally, periodically synchronizing with the Database Server through the Siebel Server to update both. The Siebel Web Client connects to the Siebel Server, which accesses the Siebel Database server.

Installation of the Siebel Database Server software provides files which are used in installing and configuring the Siebel Database Schema and Siebel Database Server components on the DB2 host and in importing the Siebel Repository.
