Interface Tables

---

As illustrated in Figure 37, interface tables are intermediate database tables between the Siebel database and another database.

Figure 37. Process Flows Between Siebel Database and Other Databases

Rather than loading legacy data directly into Siebel base tables, you or your database administrator first load it into Siebel interface tables using your database-software-specific utility. Then, you use EIM to load data from the interface tables into the Siebel base tables.

Use the Interface Tables Reference to help determine how to map your own tables to the Siebel interface tables.
