Object Manager

The object manager hosts a Siebel application, providing the central processing for HTTP transactions, database data, and metadata, which are object definitions in the Siebel repository that are relevant to the current state of Siebel CRM. The Siebel Web Engine and data manager operate as facilities in the object manager.

The object manager handles object definitions for all levels of the object hierarchy. These objects include web interface definitions, business object definitions, and data object definitions. For run-time objects that reference the object definitions, Siebel CRM only directly instantiates the business layer objects. These objects include business objects, business components, and so on. The Siebel Web Engine instantiates interface objects. The data manager instantiates data objects.

For more information about Application Object Manager components that Siebel CRM uses on the Siebel Server, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

Note: Siebel Tools and Web Tools are built as a Siebel application and are a way to configure your Siebel application. However, both the tools cannot be customized and are locked down to run as a shipped configuration. For more information on the related system preferences, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
