Using Legacy Browsers When Migrating to Siebel Open UI

Migration to Siebel Open UI can be achieved while retaining an existing Siebel CRM deployment, with minimal development effort. If the migration is planned properly, then the addition of a Siebel Open UI deployment does not have to affect your existing deployment.

Review the following options for deployments that currently use legacy browsers, which have conformance and performance limitations:

• Deploy one or more browsers specifically for use with Siebel Open UI applications, which conform to the required browser standards. A third-party product, such as Browsium Catalyst, can route traffic to specific browsers, based on enterprise requirements.
• Continue to deploy high interactivity Application Object Managers for users that have support available for legacy browsers only.
• Continue to deploy standard interactivity Application Object Managers for users that have older browsers.
• Consider using a Web browser layout engine plug-in that meets standards and performance requirements to update browsers to fast versions.

NOTE:  Third-party products, such as plug-in solutions, are solely dependent on the third parties building them. Oracle has no part in the support of those solutions.

You must take into account the constraints of the browsers that are supported by each client. The Siebel Open UI client requires standards-compliant browsers, while the Siebel high interactivity client requires Internet Explorer 8 or earlier. Installing multiple browsers and meeting both requirements allows users to switch back to the legacy deployment and to use the appropriate browser in each case. If browser constraints are considered properly, then there is no risk in maintaining both environments until user acceptance tests are completed with successful results.

For more information about running high interactivity clients in an environment that supports Siebel Open UI, see Siebel Open UI Deployment Guide, 1499842.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.
