Topology Considerations for Siebel Configurator

This section describes considerations for defining the topology for Siebel Configurator server-based deployments. There are two major topology approaches to deploying Siebel Configurator:

• Running Siebel Configurator in the AOM component.
• Running Siebel Configurator on one or more dedicated Siebel Servers. (Such servers are sometimes referred to as remote servers, because they are remote to the machine on which AOM is running. In general, this section uses the term dedicated servers.)

These approaches are described in the subsections that follow.

The optimal deployment approach for Siebel Configurator, and the optimal number of server machines you require for this module, depends on factors such as those described in Performance Factors for Siebel Configurator.
