Topology Considerations for Siebel Application Object Manager Deployments

Your Siebel applications can be deployed using a variety of topologies, or system layouts. Although Siebel Application Object Managers are only a part of the overall deployment, they play a direct and central role in supporting Siebel application users.

You must determine on how many computers you will run Siebel Server, and on how many of these you will run Siebel Application Object Manager components. In some cases, you might choose to run multiple components on the same Siebel Server. In general, it is assumed that each computer has similar processor and memory resources. Among all of the other considerations, the resources of each computer will determine the number of computers you require.

NOTE:  Siebel Application Object Manager components are typically the major resource consumers for your Siebel Server computers. The tuning considerations discussed in this chapter generally assume that you are not running additional components on a Siebel Application Object Manager computer that will significantly contend for available resources.
