Server Installation

This section provides an overview of important factors to consider when planning Direct Server Synchronization (DSS) infrastructure. One aspect of successful planning and execution of a Siebel Handheld DSS deployment is to understand hardware and network requirements. While these factors are generally applicable to all deployments, there are unique aspects to each customer configuration and implementation strategy. Therefore, it is highly recommended that customers conduct detailed configuration, sizing, and production readiness reviews with Siebel Expert Services. This is especially important for complex deployments, such as those supporting large numbers of users over wide geographic areas.

For each new customer deployment of Siebel Handheld, there is a mandatory Siebel Professional Services program called the Siebel Mobile eBusiness Competency QuickStart Engagement or the Siebel Expert Services Handheld Review Package. For more information about this program, contact Siebel Global Services or your district manager.

You can also improve the performance and scalability of DSS deployments by working with the Siebel application server component parameters. For more information about the Siebel application server, see Optimizing Server Process Management.

NOTE:  The recommendations in this chapter are general ones and are intended to raise your awareness of the key factors in handheld synchronization, performance, and scalability. These factors must be confirmed for your actual environment, and the usage patterns in your enterprise should be taken into consideration.
