Siebel Innovation Pack 2017: What's New in This Release

What's New in Siebel Product Administration Guide, Siebel Innovation Pack 2017, Rev. A

This guide has been updated to correct or remove obsolete product and component terms.

Developer preview of new servers for Configurator. In Siebel Innovation Pack 2017, the Siebel Server installation includes options for Siebel Rest Proxy Server (based on Apache Tomcat, an open-source Web application server), Enterprise Cache (based on Oracle Coherence, Java-based in-memory data grid software that provides cache management for frequently used data) and the new Constraint Engine. These server installation options are used to integrate Siebel Product Configurator with Oracle Advanced Constraint Technology, providing an alternative to substitute for the current Configurator constraint engine. Oracle provided a developer preview option of this technology in Innovation Pack 2016; this feature continues to be available in Innovation Pack 2017. For more information, see Article ID 2112562.1 on My Oracle Support.
