Module 19 Business Objects

This document provides an overview of business objects in Siebel 8.0: 1) Business objects group business components according to business logic and provide context to views by relating parent and child business components via links. 2) Links define relationships between parent and child business components and specify which related records to retrieve from the child components. One-to-many links are used for one-to-many relationships while many-to-many links are used for many-to-many relationships. 3) Business objects can include grandchild business components in addition to parent and child components. Links are also used to specify the relationships between child and grandchild components to retrieve grandchild records.
