Creating a Business Object


To create a business object, you create an object definition for the business object, and then define child business object components of the business object. For more information, see Guidelines for Creating a Business Object.

To create a business object

  1. In Siebel Tools, click Business Object in the Object Explorer.
  2. In the Business Objects list, create a new record using values from the following table.
Property
Description

Name

Enter a name for the business object that is unique among business objects in the Siebel repository. Siebel CRM uses the name to reference the business object.

Query List Business Component

The default value is Query List. It identifies the business component that stores predefined queries for the business object.

Primary Business Component

You cannot define this property until after you define the business object components.

  1. In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Object tree, and then choose Business Object Component.
  2. In the Business Object Components list, create a new record using values from the following table.
    Property
    Description

    Bus Comp

    Choose the business component that the business object references.

    Link

    (Optional) Create a link relationship between two business components.

  3. Repeat Step 4 for each business component that you must reference in the business object.

    You must define each of the following business components as a business object component:

    • Any business component whose data displays in an applet on a view that references the business object
    • Any business component whose data Siebel CRM exports in a report from a view that references the business object
  4. Define the Primary Business Component property.

    For more information, see Step 2.
