About Siebel CRM Composer

Oracle is gradually migrating from Siebel Tools to Siebel CRM Composer to simplify and expedite the process of configuring Siebel Business Applications. In Siebel CRM Composer, you currently have access to some of the functionality in Siebel Tools, so you can use Siebel CRM Composer to perform some of the tasks that in the past you performed in Siebel Tools. Developers can review this guide to understand currently available functionality in this developing product.

Siebel CRM Composer is a Web-enabled application that runs on a server, and you access it in a browser by using a Siebel Open UI client. Siebel Tools is a stand-alone application that runs on Microsoft Windows.

In Siebel CRM Composer, you can add fields to business components or applets, and you can designate objects as inactive or active. For more information about how you can use Siebel CRM Composer, see Chapter 4, "Use Cases for Siebel CRM Composer."

Continue to use Siebel Tools to configure your Siebel application in your production environment.

Note: Do not implement Siebel CRM Composer in a production environment because this preliminary release of the software is not ready for implementation. Experiment with Siebel CRM Composer in an isolated development environment that will never go to actual production. Do not implement Siebel CRM Composer in the Siebel Enterprise (logical grouping of server components, with one enterprise database and one Siebel Gateway Name Server) for a production environment.

Siebel CRM Composer has the same client requirements as other Siebel Open UI clients. For more information, see Deploying Siebel Open UI.

Note: The Siebel Bookshelf is available on Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/siebel-087898.html) and Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. It might also be installed locally on your intranet or on a network location.
