Partitioning
Siebel eBusiness Applications do not currently support Oracle partitioning. While partitioning may, at first, appear to work with Siebel eBusiness Applications, the following results will most likely be observed:
- No performance benefit because Siebel eBusiness Applications uses Rule-Based Optimizer mode.
- Siebel 6 and Siebel 7 development-to-production migration and version upgrade processes do not recognize partitioning and, therefore, do not propagate existing partitioning definitions to the new environment.
NOTE: Siebel optimizes and certifies Siebel applications on a standard Oracle installation using Rule-Based Optimizer (RBO). Using advanced features like Cost-Based Optimizer (CBO) and table partitioning are not supported and could have a detrimental effect on query performance.
If there is a reason to believe that the issues are caused by CBO, table partitioning, or other database features that are currently not supported, Siebel Support will request that you reproduce issues against a standard installation using RBO.
