SSSE Deployment Options

Figure 1 shows SSSE deployment options in relation to Siebel Server and Microsoft Exchange Server.

Figure 1. SSSE deployment options with related servers

SSSE supports three deployment options:

• PIM Server Integration (PIMSI) Engine and Dispatcher. Allows server-based synchronization of data between the Siebel application and Exchange. See Siebel Server Sync Architecture Overview.
• Siebel Outlook Add-In. Allows users to access Siebel data from within Microsoft Outlook and associate Siebel data with Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks. See Setting Up and Using Siebel Outlook Add-In.
• Embedded Outlook Calendar. Allows users to access their Microsoft Outlook calendar from within the Siebel application. 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 Architecture Overview
• Installing Siebel Server Sync
• Configuring Siebel Server Sync
• Administering Siebel Server Sync
• Using Siebel Server Sync

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 unless Siebel Technical Support or Siebel Expert Services instructs you to do so. The workflows that are provided in seed data are not currently used by SSSE, and can cause PIMSI Engine crashes if improperly deployed.
