Siebel 7.x – Party Model Changes

After introduction of party model, the table structure (as far as EIM is concerned) have changed tremendously. The largest data model change involves the Party model, which I think is basis of post siebel 7 releases. Accounts, Organizations, Internal Divisions, Contacts, Employees, Positions, and Households are all party entities and are the logical extension table of S_PARTY and they all have the corresponding entry in S_PARTY base table and the data is brought into the business components through an implicit join (PLEASE NOTE THEY ARE NOT EXPLICIT JOINS).

Some of the major data model changes are also related to this new model. Employees and Contacts have been combined into the same table (S_CONTACT) and similarly, internal and external Organizations have been combined into one table (S_ORG_EXT), in pre 7 releases of siebel employees and internal organizations are stored in S_EMPLOYEE and S_ORG_INT respectively means there tables have gotten obsolete.

The S_PARTY table is the primary table and is the single entity to store all party types – organization units (both external and internal), positions, access groups, user lists, households, contacts, and employees.

So in nutshell following are the new tables or we can say modified functionality tables in siebel:
• S_USER (For siebel Users)
• S_CONTACT (contacts, employees)
• S_ORG_EXT organizations (internal, external)
• S_POSTN (positions)
• S_ORG_GROUP (Households)
• S_PARTY_GROUP (Access Groups: To implement data security one of the major changes)
• S_USERLIST (user lists)
• S_BU (Internal Organizations)

Non-person party entities will have directly or indirectly ralation with employees and contacts.

Data Migration Changes:

All relation based tables have changed in post 7 releases the following tables have gotten obsolete:

Old Table (pre 7 release)	New Table (post 7 release)
S_ORG_REL	S_PARTY_REL (hold relationships between account and party entities)
S_CONTACT_REL	S_PARTY_REL (hold relationships between contact and party entities)
S_PER_ORG_UNIT	S_PARTY_PER (hold relationships between account and party contact etc. or more generic it stores the ralationship between party and person)
S_ORG_INT	S_ORG_EXT (For both internal and external organization.)
S_EMP_POSTN	S_PARTY_PER
S_EMPLOYEE	S_CONTACT
S_POSTN_RPT_REL	S_PARTY_PER
