Siebel clients |
Client types include Siebel Web Client, Siebel Mobile Web Client, Siebel Developer Web Client, Siebel Mobile applications, Siebel Wireless Client, and Siebel Handheld client. The Siebel Tools client is a special-purpose client for developers. For descriptions of most of these Siebel client types, see Configuring the Browser for Siebel Web Clients. |
Siebel Enterprise Server |
The logical grouping of Siebel Servers for a multiple server deployment. (For a single Siebel Server and single Web server deployment, the Siebel Enterprise Server contains a single Siebel Server.) The Siebel Enterprise Server, collectively with the Siebel Gateway Name Server, provides both batch mode and interactive services to and on behalf of Siebel clients. |
Siebel Gateway Name Server |
The name server for a single server deployment. |
Siebel database |
The Siebel tables, indexes, and seed data installed on the RDBMS. Database client software is also required. |
Siebel File System |
One or more directories that store physical files used by Siebel clients and Siebel Enterprise Server. |
The Siebel Enterprise Server environment represents the middle tier within the three-tiered Siebel Business Applications environment, between the Siebel client and the Siebel database. For more information, see Siebel Deployment Planning Guide.
