Defining Business Objects

The Business Objects Layer of the Siebel application architecture is where your application's data organization is defined.

You need to develop object definitions in this layer before developing definitions in the User Interface Layer.

The following Business Object Layer object types (introduced in Siebel Architecture (Basic Concepts)) are the foundation of all Siebel applications:

Business component and field definitions in the Business Objects Layer map to table and column definitions in the Data Objects Layer.

Figure 118 summarizes the mappings required between user interface objects and business objects.

To do the mapping you need to have knowledge of the underlying data model.
