Methods That Access Data from Business Components

This topic describes the object interface methods that allow your configuration to access and modify data that resides in a Siebel application. A business component can provide data for each field of each business component record, such as the fields of an opportunity. You can use a business component to read data, manipulate data, and then write this data to the Siebel database.

You can use a custom script that you write in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript. For example, if you create a script in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript that references the NewRecord event in a business component, then Siebel CRM calls this script. This situation is true if any of the following items calls the event:

• The NewRecord method

• Another Siebel VB or Siebel eScript script

• A Siebel object interface

An event is available only with Siebel VB or Siebel eScript.
