Siebel Configurator Infrastructure

Siebel Configurator is one of the Siebel Order Management modules. These modules work together to support various phases in conducting commerce, including online selling. Siebel Configurator provides product configuration and solution-computing capabilities, and can be deployed as a server-based or browser-based module. It uses several infrastructure elements to manage configuration sessions. Siebel Configurator is supported in the Siebel Server environment by the following components:

• Siebel Application Object Manager. Siebel Configurator functions can be performed within the Siebel Application Object Manager, such as Call Center Object Manager (alias SCCObjMgr_enu in a U.S. English environment) for Siebel Call Center.
• Siebel Product Configuration Object Manager. An optional component, suitable for some Siebel Configurator deployments, that processes configuration requests for user sessions submitted from a Siebel Application Object Manager component. This component has the alias eProdCfgObjMgr_locale, such as eProdCfgObjMgr_jpn in a Japanese locale. Typically, this component is run on a separate Siebel Server computer than the one running the Siebel Application Object Manager. Multiple instances of this component can be run on the separate Siebel Server computer where it is possible to distribute requests across the various instances. For more information, see Considerations for Defining Topology for Siebel Configurator.

  NOTE:  The three-letter extension to the alias of the Siebel Product Configuration Object Manager component (such as jpn in the example eProdCfgObjMgr_jpn) must correspond to the value for the Locale Code parameter (alias LocaleCode) associated with the invoking Siebel Application Object Manager. For more information about this requirement, see Siebel Deployment Planning Guide. For more information about the Locale Code parameter, see Siebel Global Deployment Guide.

For more information about elements of the internal architecture of Siebel Configurator, including Instance Broker (Complex Object Instance Service business service) and Object Broker (Cfg Object Broker business service), see Siebel Product Administration Guide.
