Siebel Web Client

The Siebel Web Client runs in a standard browser on the end user’s client computer. The browser connects through the Siebel Application Interface to the Siebel Server, which executes business logic and accesses data from the Siebel database. Only the user interface layer of the Siebel CRM architecture resides on the user’s computer.

This topic is part of About Siebel Client Types.

Other considerations about the Siebel Web Client are as follows:

• Installed software. In general, no additional application software is required on the client. At minimum, the client requires only a Web browser.

• Application connection. This is the connection through the Siebel Application Interface to the Siebel Server. Applications run on the Siebel Server and forward pages to the client. Applications display in a standard Web browser on the end user’s client computer, such as a connected laptop or desktop computer.

• Database connection. This is the connection through the Siebel Server to the Siebel database. No Siebel database or database client is installed on the client.

For information about installing and setting up the server environment to support this client, see Siebel Installation Guide and other documentation. See also the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.
