Connection Types
There are two ways in which the Siebel Adapter can connect to your Siebel Server:
Siebel Java Connection: This type of adapter connection uses Siebel's Java Data Bean Business Object Interface (BOI) API to communicate with the Siebel Server. This connection requires that your Windows or UNIX platform supports a JVM that the Data Bean supports. For information about the supported versions, see
Installing, Upgrading, and Uninstalling the
Siebel Adapter .
Siebel Windows Thin Connection: This type of adapter connection uses Siebel's COM Data Control client to communicate with the Siebel Server's Object Manager.
Both connection types use .srf files used by the Siebel Server.
