About Enabled and Disabled Component Groups

An enabled component group, at the enterprise level and server level, is one of the necessary conditions for execution of server component tasks belonging to that component group. Component groups are enabled and disabled independently at the enterprise and server level.

To enable or disable a component group at the enterprise level, the component group must be assigned on one or more Siebel Servers. To enable or disable a component group at the Siebel Server level, the component group must be assigned on this Siebel Server.

When creating a new component group, first assign the component group to the appropriate Siebel Servers before enabling the component group at the enterprise and server levels.

• Enabled. The component group is enabled at the enterprise level. You can then configure the component group run state so tasks can be started for components within the component group.
• Disabled. The component group is disabled at the enterprise level. You cannot configure the component group run state, and tasks cannot be started for components within the component group.

Disabling a component group results in:

• Components that are unavailable on Siebel Servers, therefore, tasks cannot be started (existing tasks run to completion)
• No allocation of space in the shared memory segment for those components when the Siebel Server is restarted

NOTE:  Unassigning or disabling component groups that you do not need will reduce the unnecessary consumption of server resources. If a component group is not planned for immediate deployment on a particular Siebel Server but might be deployed in the future, then you can disable the component group on that Siebel Server. (For a Siebel Server that has not yet been configured, do not enable the component group in the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard.) If a component group is not planned for deployment, then you can remove it from a Siebel Server by unassigning the component group.
