Figure 1 shows the SSSE components in relation to Siebel Server and Microsoft Exchange Server.

Figure 1. SSSE deployment options with related servers

SSSE is composed of three separate, but related, components:

• PIM Server Integration (PIMSI) Engine and Dispatcher. Allows server-based synchronization of data between Siebel Business Applications and Microsoft Exchange. See Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server Architecture Overview.
• Siebel Outlook Add-In. Allows users to access Siebel data from within Microsoft Outlook and associate Siebel data with Outlook contact, calendar and task records. See Setting Up and Using Siebel Outlook Add-In.
• Embedded Outlook Calendar. Allows users to access their Microsoft Outlook calendar from within Siebel Business Applications. See Setting Up and Using Embedded Outlook Calendar.

You can choose to deploy these options in the following combinations:

• PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher only
• PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher plus Siebel Outlook Add-In or Embedded Outlook Calendar
• PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher plus Siebel Outlook Add-In and Embedded Outlook Calendar

See the following chapters for information about PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher:

• Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server Architecture Overview
• Installing Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server
• Configuring Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server
• Administering Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server
• Using Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server

After you install and set up PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher, then you can install Siebel Outlook Add-In or Embedded Outlook Calendar or both, if you choose to do so. See these chapters:

• Setting Up and Using Siebel Outlook Add-In
• Setting Up and Using Embedded Outlook Calendar

CAUTION:  Do not activate PIMSI workflows. The workflows that are provided in seed data are not currently used by SSSE and can cause the PIMSI Engine to fail if deployed.
