About Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) Functions and Services

The database tables and Siebel Connector for Master Data Applications support insert, delete, update, and query functionality on master data, such as customers, products, and so on. When these functions are available in Siebel Business Applications and back-office systems, they can be used to make modifications to an organization's data, which is then stored and reconciled in Oracle Customer Hub. For more information on Siebel Connector for Master Data Applications, see About Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) Architecture and Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) Prebuilt Business Services.

For information about prebuilt services and interfaces for Oracle Master Data Management Applications, see ASIs and Messages for Oracle Master Data Management Applications.

• Request and reply. Other applications send a request for data from Oracle Customer Hub. For more information on configuring request and reply, see Setting System Privileges for Oracle Master Data Management Applications.
