Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications > Overview >

Key Design Considerations

The Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications is designed to address a specific business problem. Therefore, it is important to understand where the connector and its components can be used and where it cannot be used.

The Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications should be used where:

• The primary business requirement is to replicate selected records for a global object like accounts across multiple Siebel instances.
• Replication is limited to number of global account data across multiple Siebel instances on Siebel 7 and above versions.
• The "master and slave" model of replication meets your business requirements.

The model that the Siebel Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications uses is designed for low volume replication. It is important to understand that this solution is not a substitute for full data replication from one instance to another.

The connector can be customized to replicate data from any Siebel business object as well as use any transport mechanism beneath it.
