Process of Creating and Binding an Entity Relationship Diagram

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring a Siebel Application.

To create and bind an ERD, perform the following tasks:

1. Creating an Entity Relationship Diagram

2. Binding an Entity to a Business Component

3. Associating an Entity Attribute with a Business Component Field

4. Binding a Relationship to a Link or Join

Two people are typically involved with creating and binding an ERD:

• A business analyst defines an ERD that represents your business model because the analyst possesses knowledge about the business model.

• A technical architect or developer binds the entities and relationships in the diagram to Siebel objects because the architect or developer possesses knowledge about the data objects layer.
