Setting Up the Symbolic URL for Access to the D&B Database

When you have a connection to the Internet and have a D&B account set up already (with a user ID and password), you can:

• Obtain the most current account information by invoking real-time searches of the D&B database and online purchase.

• Access and order D&B business and credit reports.

To access D&B data live from your Siebel application through the D&B Web site, you must first contact D&B for a user ID, password, and payment options. Then you can set up your Siebel application to access the D&B database. For more information about D&B reports and about searching D&B for new accounts, see Accessing Company Data and Reports with D&B.
