For each Siebel Server, you use server key mappings to define multiple rule groups that you want that server to load and process. Using server key mappings allows you to use different servers for different business purposes. After you define server key mappings in the assignment administration views, each Assignment Manager (AsgnSrvr) process looks for the server name in the key mappings during startup and only loads rules from those rule groups. The AsgnSrvr component also registers the rule group row IDs as keys. When you submit a request to a server, you must submit the AsgnKey parameter set to one of the rule group row IDs assigned to that server. The server key mapping process uses an internal key-based routing mechanism to route requests to a particular server, however, this is done in the background and is not apparent. You can specify multiple servers to load the same rule group. In this case, the Server Request Broker component routes requests, based on load balancing metrics, to one of the Assignment Manager components that loaded that rule group. You can mark certain rule groups for use only with server key mappings. These rule groups are not loaded by any Assignment Manager component operating in default mode. The server key mappings feature is supported only in certain environments when you are using specific functionality, as follows:
NOTE: You cannot run default mode and server key mappings mode on the same Assignment Manager, because the two tasks are mutually exclusive functionalities. If you require the assignment functionality of both modes, you must run Assignment Manager components on a separate server for each mode. TIP: Siebel Marketing is specifically designed to use the server key mappings and rule group features.
