Develop your Siebel applications
Overview
The Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) custom binding. Client applications can consume the Siebel adapter to invoke operations on Siebel artifacts. The Siebel adapter can be consumed:
Through a physical port binding in a BizTalk Server solution.
By invoking methods on an instance of a client proxy.
As a hosted WCF service.
By sending SOAP messages over a channel instance in code that uses the WCF channel model.
Through an ADO.NET interface.
