The Siebel Object Model consists of multiple objects. The object definitions in Siebel Enterprise Applications exist in the following architectural layers:
User Interface Objects Layer. Consists of user interface object definitions. The object definitions describe the interface with which the user interacts in the Siebel Enterprise Applications.
Business Objects Layer. Consists of business object definitions that are built on data object definitions. Examples of business objects include business components, business services, links, multi-value links, joins, and fields. When the PowerCenter Integration Service writes data to Siebel, it extracts business components and their properties from the Business Objects Layer.
Data Objects Layer. Consists of data object definitions that correspond to the data structures in the underlying database. Examples of data objects include Siebel tables and columns. This layer is independent of the underlying database.
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Consists of the underlying database tables.
For more information about the Siebel Object Model, see the Siebel documentation.

PowerExchange for Siebel extracts the hierarchy for user interface objects and business objects from Siebel Enterprise Applications. PowerExchange for Siebel extracts definitions for multi-value links, links, fields, joins, and join specifications when it extracts business component metadata. In addition, PowerExchange for Siebel extracts business service metadata.
The following PowerCenter objects connect to Siebel to perform the specified functions:
Source. Connects to the Siebel repository to extract metadata of Siebel business components and retrieve data from Siebel business components.
Target. Connects to the Siebel repository to extract metadata of Siebel business components and load data into Siebel business components.
Siebel Business Service transformation. Connects to the Siebel repository to extract metadata of business service methods and invoke business service methods.
Siebel EIM Invoker transformation. Connects to the Siebel server to invoke the ServerRequest business service method.
Siebel EIM Read transformation. Connects to the Siebel repository to extract metadata for EIM tables and connect to Siebel database to extract bulk data from the underlying database tables.
Siebel EIM Load transformation. Connects to the Siebel repository to extract metadata for EIM tables and connect to the Siebel database to load bulk data into the underlying database tables.
