Bookshelf v7.5: Business Service

Defines reusable business logic that can be executed within the Object Manager. There are two types of business services: built-in services that are defined in Siebel Tools, and run-time services that are defined in the Siebel client application by administrators.

Built-in business services can be based on the CSSService Class (standard business service) or specialized classes (specialized business service). Specialized business services are for Siebel Engineering use only.

You can configure business services with both properties and scripts (written in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript). Business services can be used for generic code libraries that can be called from any other scripts.

Business services are used as building blocks in the Siebel Application Integration framework. Commands associated with a menu item or toolbar button can also refer to a business service.

Specialized business services are for Siebel internal use only. Customers should not use specialized business services unless their behavior is documented.
