Infrastructure That the Siebel Web Engine Uses

The Siebel Web Engine allows you to deploy Siebel CRM in HTML. The Siebel Web Engine is a service that is part of the Object Manager component on the Siebel Server, and communicates with the Siebel Application Interface.

Siebel Application Interface interfaces with the Siebel Web Engine, with most of the work occurring in the Siebel Web Engine. Siebel Application Interface maintains the session and works as a communication intermediary. Network communication between Siebel Application Interface and the object manager occurs through SISNAPI (Siebel Internet Session Network Application Programming Interface), which is a Siebel communication protocol that references TCP/IP. It provides security and compression.

The Siebel Web Engine runs as the Web Engine Interface Service object manager service. This service implements most components of the Siebel Web Engine, deploying an interface between Siebel Application Interface and the object manager. From the perspective of Siebel Application Interface, the Siebel Web Engine interface service does the following work:

• Handles incoming HTTP requests that include the Siebel Web Engine prefix

• Creates HTTP replies

From the perspective of the object manager, the Siebel Web Engine interface provides a user interface for interactions with the object manager.
