Configuring Business Components for State Models

Administrators can create state models for business components that meet the following criteria:

• The business components are state-model enabled in the preconfigured Siebel application.
• The business components are based directly on the CSSBCBase class and are enabled using the procedure in this topic.

  Oracle supports state model creation for business components that are based on the CSSBCBase class and its subclasses. Do not create or modify state models for the Enterprise Service Definitions, SRM Request, and SRM Repeating Request business components. These business components are used for server administration.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up State Models.
