Siebel Data Warehouse Customization Scenarios


In customizing the Siebel Data Warehouse, various scenarios are available to you based on whether the data source is the Siebel transactional database (OLTP) or data from a non-Siebel source. The matrix in Figure 17 shows categories of customization scenarios. The kinds of customizations available for each category are described in Table 49. For instructions on how to perform the customizations, see Customization Steps for Siebel Data and Siebel Data Warehouse Customization Steps for Non-Siebel Data."

For detailed information about ETL processes and tables, see Siebel Data Warehouse Data Model Reference.
