Providing Sufficient Client Hardware Resources

This topic is part of Guidelines for Siebel Web Client Tuning.

For best client performance for employee applications, provide sufficient or generous hardware resources to your end users. Requirements can vary according to your deployment.

The more memory that is available on your client computers, the greater the number of views that can be cached. For more information, see:

• Managing the Browser Cache
• Specifying Static File Caching
• Improving Performance Using View Layout Caching

The speed of the processors (CPU) on your client computers will affect how quickly the Siebel application user interface is rendered.

For best performance for Siebel applications that are deployed using Siebel Open UI, it is generally recommended to use recent versions of browsers that support all applicable standards in your testing and in your user deployments. More recent versions often include fixes and performance enhancements.

For best performance for employee applications that are deployed using high interactivity, it is generally recommended to include the latest supported version of Microsoft Internet Explorer in your testing and in your user deployments. More recent versions often include fixes and performance enhancements.

For best performance for the standard interactivity client, which is used by some customer applications, you must determine the minimum capabilities of customer environments, such as the browsers to support, processor speed, or expected Internet connection speed. Customer applications must support a wide range of customer environments. Accordingly, you generally minimize the complexity of such applications.

For Siebel client hardware and other platform requirements and recommendations, see the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.

For information about browser settings for Siebel applications deployed using high interactivity or standard interactivity, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
