Siebel Web Templates (.SWT) Set of template files that specify how to render the UI in the user’s browser HTML files with embedded Siebel tags defining content Enterprise Siebel Server .SRF .CFG .SWT Server Components
Server Component Is a program that executes on a Siebel Server Performs a specific function or job Examples include: Importing and exporting data Configuring the database to monitor for user-defined conditions Processing of client requests Enterprise Siebel Server .SRF .CFG .SWT Server Components Examples: Application Object Manager File System Manager Synchronization Manager Assignment Manager Enterprise Integration Mgr
Application Object Manager Is a server component that creates and processes data at multiple levels UI layer  Business layer Data layer Provides the environment in which Siebel applications run Used by thin clients (Mobile client uses Siebel.exe) Enterprise Siebel Server Server Components AOM File System Manager Within the AOM, UI layer is supported by the Siebel Web Engine. Data layer is supported by the Data Manager.
Database Server Stores data used by Siebel  e Business Applications in a predefined database schema  Supports a variety of third-party relational database management system (RDBMS)  Database Server Enterprise Siebel Server Server Components AOM File System Manager The Data Manager, within the AOM, controls access to the Database Server
Siebel File System Is a shared directory that stores compressed files used by Siebel applications Examples: Product literature, sales tools, presentations Read/write access is controlled by the File System Manager server component Easier security administration Only the user with administrative privileges for the Siebel Server needs access privileges to the file system directories Enterprise Siebel Server Server Components AOM File System Manager Siebel File System Files System Manager controls access to the Siebel File System 0/3
Uploading an Attachment Using the FSM Attachments are copied from the user's hard drive and transferred to the Siebel Server  The FSM component compresses the file, and then stores the compressed file in the Siebel File System Compression and renaming of the files is automated by the FSM Enterprise Siebel Server Server Components AOM File System Manager Siebel File System Siebel Web Client Web Server Siebel Gateway Name Server File File 2. FSM compresses and renames file 1. File uploaded from local machine 3. File stored in the File System Database Server 1/3
Downloading an Attachment Using the FSM The attachment download request is received by the FSM, which retrieves the requested file Decompresses the file and restores its original name The file is sent back to the user's Web browser Enterprise Siebel Server Server Components AOM File System Manager Siebel File System Siebel Web Client Web Server Siebel Gateway Name Server File File 2.
