Siebel Tools allows us to inspect, create, and modify various object types in the Siebel Repository. The logical Siebel architecture follows a strict principle of separated layers, thus providing the foundation for a stable yet extensible application framework.
The Siebel Repository metadata defines anything from the menu that an application displays to the tables and columns where the data is stored physically.
The business layer consisting of business objects, business components, and links (to mention the most important members) is the main abstraction layer and entry point for data access for end users and external systems alike.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the typical tasks for a Siebel developer.
