Running Siebel Configurator on Dedicated Servers

This topic is part of Considerations for Defining Topology for Siebel Configurator.

You can run Siebel Configurator on one or more dedicated Siebel Server computers using a server component other than the Siebel Application Object Manager. This component is Siebel Product Configuration Object Manager (alias eProdCfgObjMgr_jpn in a Japanese locale).

Possible variations on this general topology option include:

  • Running one eProdCfgObjMgr component with one Siebel Application Object Manager component
  • Running multiple eProdCfgObjMgr components with one Siebel Application Object Manager component
  • Running one eProdCfgObjMgr component with multiple Siebel Application Object Manager components
  • Running multiple eProdCfgObjMgr components with multiple Siebel Application Object Manager components

If a large number of concurrent users require configuration sessions, or there are a large number of customizable product models, then this deployment option (using one or more dedicated servers) can yield the best performance and make the most effective use of your hardware resources.

With this option, you set some parameters for managing Siebel Configurator caching on each applicable Siebel Application Object Manager, and some on each applicable dedicated Siebel Configurator server. For details, see About Siebel Configurator Caching.

Configuring Siebel Application Object Manager for Dedicated Siebel Configurator Deployments

When you designate one or more dedicated server computers to run the Siebel Product Configuration Object Manager (alias eProdCfgObjMgr_jpn in a Japanese locale) component, then you must configure any Siebel Application Object Manager components from which users will initiate configuration sessions to route configuration requests to these computers.

The Siebel Application Object Manager forwards each configuration session request to the dedicated Siebel Configurator server with the fewest concurrent users.

Table 5 lists server parameters for managing dedicated Siebel Configurator deployments. Using Server Manager, set these parameters on each Siebel Application Object Manager (do not set them on the dedicated Siebel Configurator server computer).

Table 5. Server Parameters for Dedicated Siebel Configurator Server Deployment
Parameter Name
Display Name
Data Type
Default Value
Description

eProdCfgRemote

Product Configurator-Use remote service

Boolean

FALSE

Set this parameter to TRUE if you are running the eProdCfgObjMgr component on one or more dedicated servers.

Set this parameter to FALSE for Siebel Configurator deployments using Siebel Application Object Manager only.

eProdCfgServer

Product Configurator-Remote Server Name

Text

Not applicable

When you have not enabled explicit product mapping for products to a Siebel Configurator server, set this parameter to the names of the dedicated computers on which you are running eProdCfgObjMgr. Otherwise, set the value of this parameter to NULL.

eProdCfgTimeOut

Product Configurator-Time out of connection

Integer

20

Sets the length of time, in milliseconds, that the Siebel Application Object Manager tries to connect to a dedicated Siebel Server running eProdCfgObjMgr.

After the timeout has been reached, an error is returned to the user.

eProdCfgKeepAliveTime

Product Configurator - Keep Alive Time of Idle Session

Integer

900

Setting in seconds to determine the maximum interval of inactivity during a configuration session.

If the interval of inactivity reaches this value, then the user session is stopped and the worker returns to the pool.

If this parameter is not set, then an infinite interval is assumed.

Set this parameter on the Siebel Application Object Manager only. It does not apply on the remote Configurator server.

NOTE:  On the remote Configurator server (eProdCfgObjMgr component), set the parameter ConnIdleTime to a value like eProdCfgKeepAliveTime plus 1 second.
