Diffrence B/W Siebel Config and Siebel EAI

Any Siebel Implementation can be grouped into 2 basic Parts from the Developer Point
1.Siebel Configuration
2.Siebel Enterprise Application Integration

If you ask me what is siebel Development I would say It would be better to use "Customization" instead of "Development".Yes its the Customization that we have been doing for the ReadyMade Tool/Client. We just make changes to meet the Customer Requirements/Needs.

1.Siebel Configuration
What is siebel Configuration? Siebel Configuration is concerned with the Customization of the Siebel Application Side to meet the Needs.Configuration would cover
-Creating Applets
-Creating Views
-Creating Screens
-Creating Joins
-Defining Links
-Creating Business components
-Creating Business Objects
-Extending Tables/Creating Tables
-MultiValueGroups/Links
-Symbolic Strings
-Picklist/PickMap/LOV
These are the few Basic Areas which would come to your mind when you think of Configuration.Under Siebel Configuration we always consider the Application Side Changes.But Siebel Configuration would have great impact on the Integration Side as we would be using the BCs and BOs which have been modified as part of the Configuration process. Any change in the BCs,BOs would directly have an impact on the Integration Objects created.Hence its always mandatory to keep the BCs' and the BOs in sync with IOs.

2.Siebel Enterprise Application Integration
The Siebel EAI Depends on the Configuration part.Under Siebel EAI we would concentrate on the Data Mapping with External Application,What data shared?,Data format ?etc. Application Integration would explore the Siebel functionality to external Application by means of deploying webservices and also it can consume external application WSDL(webservices description Language) and call the External Applciation by means of Proxy Business Services(Business Services would be discussed Later).
Under EAI we would work on
-Integration Objects
-Webserices
-Worklfows
-Business Services
-WSDLs
-Symbolic URLs
-Siebel Transports
-Siebel Subsystems
