Considerations for Defining Topology for Siebel Configurator

This topic describes considerations for defining the topology for Siebel Configurator server-based deployments. There are two major topology approaches to deploying Siebel Configurator:

• Running Siebel Configurator in the Siebel Application Object Manager component. For more information, see Running Siebel Configurator in the Siebel Application Object Manager Component.
• Running Siebel Configurator on one or more dedicated Siebel Servers intended to run only Siebel Configurator. (Dedicated servers are sometimes referred to as remote servers, because they are remote to the computer on which Siebel Application Object Manager is running. In general, this chapter uses the term dedicated servers.) For more information, see Running Siebel Configurator on Dedicated Servers.

The optimal deployment approach for Siebel Configurator, and the optimal number of server computers that you require for this module, depends on factors such as those described in Performance Factors for Siebel Configurator. See also Siebel Configurator Infrastructure.
