Deploying the Siebel Constraint Engine

This procedure describes how to deploy the Siebel Constraint Engine. You can deploy only one instance of Siebel Constraint Engine in your Siebel deployment. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Constraint Engine.

This task is required for new installations of the current release, where you choose to use the Siebel Constraint Engine. It is also required for the migration installation case, because, for the current release, this module is new and must be installed as a new installation.

NOTE:  After deployment, the Siebel Constraint Engine profile is in a read-write state. You can update configuration settings and redeploy the profile to propagate the updates to the Siebel Constraint Engine. If you update the Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile, then, to propagate the updates, you might also need to redeploy the Siebel Constraint Engine.
