Causes of Poor Performance

The Siebel application architecture has been designed and tuned for optimal performance, making use of features such as database indexes, data caching, RDBMS cursors, efficient SQL generation, native database APIs, and so on. However, in custom configuration there are various potential performance pitfalls, and their impact can be amplified in environments with large databases and wide data distribution across servers.

The primary causes of poor performance (categorized by severity) are listed below, and described in the following sections.
