Removal of Siebel Application Interface Dependency on Oracle Database Client

As of Siebel CRM 19.11 Update, Siebel Application Interfaces not co-located with migration servers no longer require the Oracle Database Client, which contains the Oracle LDAP Client co-located. As a result, the implications for the following deployment scenarios are:

  • Application Interfaces servicing the migration server retain database access so there is no change for this deployment — you must continue to install the database client.

  • All other Application Interfaces do not require database access and do not require the Oracle database client.

Existing deployments can either continue to run as previously deployed or adhere to the new guidelines.
